Baseball is so racist that a white announcer is making slavery references during playoff games [Updated]

Each month, the baseball culture's top brass meet secretly to decide who or what they will do. This reminds the rest of the world that the team wants to keep the sport as hateful as possible.

Jim Kaat was happy to take the initiative on Friday as he made a reference to slavery about Chicago's Yon Moncada who is Cuban.

Some things are so horrible that you have to hear them.

(This is where I explain to you how Cubans are Black. You might not know that North America was not the only destination where the boats dropped you off.



If you don't know enough or aren't interested in reading a history book, 40 Acres and A Mule is more than the name of Spike Lees production firm. It is what was promised to free Black people following slavery. We were promised 40 acres and a mule for our labor since we had built the entire area.

We still await that promise to be fulfilled.

I could continue to rant about how two white men (he was riffing on a Buck Showalter comment), are glorifying the body of a man with color like this is a slave auction. But I don't need to. You can see that they considered this to be a slave auction, as you have just seen.

Kaat later apologized for his actions:

You could also discuss how the Mets are unable to reach a younger, more diverse fanbase. They do everything they can to get their attention. Rob Manfred has been meeting with racist, misogynistic and hateful sites like Barstool Sports in an effort to reach the same audience.

Add Fridays events to the list of reasons why Black children don't play baseball.

You mean, why would you?

We don't give a damn about baseball, and they have never given a damn about us. If you're still unsure how I feel about the sport I will keep it simple. You can't love baseball forever.

Updated at 4:10 PM on October 8, 2021: A formal apology was issued later in the game. It was a bullshit apology made by a piece disguised as a human being. I won't link to it nor transcribe it. Mind you, I was kind enough to call him a human because slaves used to be considered three-fifths people.
