We call ourselves a Christian nation, and that should begin with respect for others.

After realizing that I offended you two, I now know it was wrong and I never should have said it. I hope to overcome my wrong doings and make amends with anybody I have harmed.

Wait, never mind.I don’t care what you think of me, that’s why I said it.

Decent people aren’t open and accepting because it’s PC to be so. Decent people are open and accepting because they’re decent people.

He’s like a total breath of fresh air, if only “fresh air” equates a Rush Limbaugh mouth fart.

But I only say this because society and management want me to say this. Otherwise, I’m a scared little prick.

Team America. Fuck yeah.

It is called eugenics, and it is clearly practiced by people with nazi roots who are influential today. At least, that is what some crazy tin-foil hat wearing paranoid conspiracy theorists would have you believe.

Others saw the tweet and tipped off Deadspin.

They either have too many reporters or the ones they have need to find something more worthwhile to spend their time on. Go wipe down the microwave in the breakroom, I’m sure its got some Hot Pocket remnants melted to it.

The writer’s only source that this guy was a Twins prospect was the player’s own twitter bio. Googling revealed stats from last year but no roster information for this year. Lazy journalism from a site that normally does good work.

The organization has its priorities right, even if not all the players (or ushers) got the memo.
