So the Braves won the rounders.

One hopes now they can stop their appalling cultural appropriation.

One also hopes you keep out of sport threads you dont have a clue about. Something you love to do. Now get back to your man love affair with Dame Lewis Hamilton.

I had no idea what is rounders. Thanks to University of YouTube I'm more informed about this sport. Rounders looks like a lot of fun. I suppose like any sport it could be competitive at the elite level.

Get the fuck out of here Harry. Yeah I am racist. What a tool. Now get busy you do have to post on every thread.

Not at all. What an absurd thing to say.

Soler is only the third player to win World Series MVP after joining midseason, and only the second Cuban-born player to do so.

Just fancy that.

Down it goes. Come on Atlanta, it's your turn.

Atlanta Braves announce date of parade to celebrate World Series win

A parade to celebrate the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series will take place this Friday, the team announced following their victory over the Houston Astros.

The Braves brought it down to Game 6 against the Astros, but managed to come out on top with a 7-0 win to claim the series.

Only the fourth team to go from a losing record before the All-Star break to the Fall Classic, the Braves have pulled off the near-impossible to become World Series Champions.

The team tweeted that a parade would be held on Friday and that further details would be announced Wednesday.

Atlanta Braves - @Braves We interrupt this celebration to let you know that WE ARE HAVING A PARADE ON FRIDAY!!!: https://twitter.com/Braves/status/1455748024546861062

I certainly agree that the term “Redskins” is offensive. I’m wondering if the Cleveland Indians would still have their name, if Chief Wahoo wasn’t attached to the name. Same with the tomahawk chop, and the Atlanta Braves. The name Braves, and Indians, certainly don’t have the negative connotations that “Redskins“ does. Should the Minnesota Vikings change their name because it’s offensive to Norwegians?

I don't recall White European settlers murdering millions of Norwegians and stealing their land.

Perhaps you could fill me in on that little known period of history.

Racism can also be displayed in the way you refer to the Chinese. You are quite forceful with the racist language. Perhaps its time to back off and get to a thread where you are not trolling or just trying to record more posts.

"Chinkies" isn't racist. It's derogatory to a particular nation, and they deserve it.

The Chinese aren't a race.

And that has nothing to do with cultural appropriation.

And I don't need your permission to post anywhere, so fuck off.

So, because Brits use the term to refer to Chinese restaurants, it’s not racist?

Congratulations, Harry. You won the Internet today for the dumbest, most narrow-minded, most racist comment.

In 2002, the Broadcasting Standards Commission, after a complaint about the BBC One programme The Vicar of Dibley, held that when used as the name of a type of restaurant or meal, rather than as an adjective applied to a person or group of people, the word still carries extreme racist connotation which causes offence particularly to those of East Asian origin.

Since when was Chinkystan the whole of East Asia you fucking plank.




Actually on reflection, it probably would be very insulting for a Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian or Laotian to be referred to as "Chinese".

Thank you for proving my point, dumb ass.

What a gigantic load of bollocks from the MLB commissioner in answer to a simple question as to whether the Braves should change their name:

“It’s important to understand that we have 30 markets around the country. They aren’t all the same. The Braves have done a phenomenal job with the Native American community,” Manfred said. “We don’t market our game on a nationwide basis. Ours is an everyday game. You’ve gotta sell tickets every single day to the fans in that market. And there are all sorts of differences between the regions in terms of how the teams are marketed.”

You can tell he was a fucking lawyer.

Yes, if my name were "Harry Chinkystan" I would change it immediately.

We get it Harry, you don’t like Chinese.
I find it laughable that you are quick to correct people on the topic of racism, all the while spewing racist shit.
Go fuck yourself, you pompous twit.
