option 3: don't pay attention to either of them or what any political officeholder says about sports to stir up resentment

Don't forget selecting anti-tax shithead Travis Tritt to sing the national anthem.

I'm a child of 90s country. And I never liked Travis Tritt.

You'd probably be testy too if your last name set you up to be called Travis Twitt for your entire life, even accidentally by people with a speech impediment.

In that case, wouldn't he be called "Twavis Twitt"?

Just implement the fucking pitch clock already.

Just make pitchers play through broken limbs. Charlie Morton seemed fine with it.

Charlie Morton >>> Smarty Jones

Wasn't gonna watch anyway, but definitely not gonna now so I don't have to see the look on his dumb, smug face when the "Fuck Joe Biden" chants start.

In case it wasn't plainly obvious, the braves are for white people. Everyone else watches Atlanta united the hawks (ewwww) and football

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 11:58 am

Is it possible to control fans? The team/stadium doesn't play the music anymore and they don't hand out Tomahawks.

I remember in the past, the music was never played when the team was fielding, only when batting. But now the fans just chant it whenever.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Fri Oct 29, 2021 12:02 pm

Quick dumb story. During the 1993 NLCS, I was in my freshman dorm watching it in the tv lounge with a bunch of Phillies fans (who came up to North Jersey). Once the Phillies took control of the Series (Dykstra's bomb late in Game 4), we all started our own version of The Chop, with our arms out, middle fingers up, and chanting "Up your ass! Up your ass!"

You are removed from Central Michigan sporting events for making any gesture that can be interpreted as mimicking Native culture. So, yes it's possible if you want to.

I was in the band in HS, and we played at football games, both the pregame show (away) or halftime show (home), and in the stands. My junior and/or senior year (91 and/or 92) I guess coincides with the genesis of "the chop" and for some reason we started playing it even though our school mascot was the Senators, and really the only pushback I remember getting is from some members of the band who thought it just didn't make sense. Teenage me was definitely more bothered by the fact that the Braves painfully defeated very good Pirates teams those seasons than any inherent racism, and we actually had a pretty visible indigenous population/tribe. The song WAS fun to play on the trombone and I was ignorant.

Around the same time, we did "the chop" in my high school sophmore history class because the teacher had no control of the class and that Braves team was really cool. Maybe this is why I eventally became a History major.

This allergy of pitchers going 3rd time through the order is real.

Wow, that’s a miserable job by Atlanta’s CF.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 7:17 pm

Ha love modern baseball. Send the starter to the mound and have a guy warming up in the bullpen

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 7:39 pm

Love that Trump’s natural rhythms make the chop look twice as racist as usual.

Thank you for posting that. I forgot all about that and was going to turn it on.

Did they show him doing the chop? I was cooking at not looking at the tv, but I heard them do the 'and the former President...' bit.
