Buck Showalter, manager of the Baltimore Orioles, on race [x]
Almost everyone in the Orioles’s front office has had some very appropriate things to say; it’s heartening to see. They’ve all basically said, I’m in baseball, I have nothing relevant to say, it’s not my place, and it’s just baseball that’s being halted, it’s a child’s game, so fucking pay attention to what’s important.
I guessss I have to try to head offline because like seriously people are like ISAW AV/ENGERS AND I NEED TO SAY THINGS ABOUT IT IMMEDIATELY OMG YOU HAVENT SEEN IT ALREADY WHOCARES SPOILERS UP IN DIS HIZZY….
As a extremely poor child this actually sounds super wasteful to me. One person gets three slices of bread? Our most poor meal as a kid was air sandwiches. My mom would tell us to imagine the food we wanted. This happened a lot. So often we’d pretend to eat them by reaching into the sky and eating the air as if were a sandwich. And when we couldn’t pretend anymore then we got one slice of bread and half a spoon of mayonnaise and that tided us over until she could bring us leftover food home from work (if there was some). Three pieces of bread? Damn that’s s banquet. It’s also super gross UK.
