They know it too, but like it…

And thus the ultimate “advantage” to playing the race card. You never have to admit your wrong for playing it.

If anybody disagrees with you, it’s not because they may have a valid point. It’s because they too are racist.

T and Sid,
Some guys aren’t worth debating. Craig is one of those guys, both the old and new Craigs.

He is trying to create controversy where there is none.

Craig, the guys that “Got the boot”??? Really??? Are you frickin serious???

The guys he talks about were offered outstanding contracts. They left for ridiculous contracts. Big deal. Good for them. The teams that gave those deals are already having second thoughts.

The guys that signed and stayed were willing to take less than the market would have offered them. Good for us.

Almost all racist teams, have the one black superstar that they pay, and then get rid of all the other minority players. That’s common. That’s what they did with Puckett and also with Torii. Everyone knows this, except for apologists. They know it too, but like it, so they deny it. The minority superstar is subterfuge for their evil and nefarious deeds.

Wasn’t Puckett’s contract also one of the biggest of its time?
