Went to a Cub game last night. I know, MLB, but it was a last minute opportunity to share a night with some of the very best people I know. And besides, I grew up going to Wrigley and am sick of them taking everything from me including my fond memories of childhood, most of which was a lie. I am rationalizing that I am taking all of my shit back. Infiltration.
Full capacity almost NO MASKS. People were having a blast. It was as if 25k people just learned they weren't terminal after all. ONE Jumbotron shot of some idiot who had masks on his kids and for a second the audience fell eerily quiet. Then back to normal people. It felt like a collective silent "Eww" hard to explain. Bonus was Cubs player #17 Kris Bryant was MVP (announced in the 4th inning?) There were 17 shirts everywhere, felt like Kismet.
will you still support baseball players when you find out they rape torture kids.
Do all of them?
There are good people and then there are bad people in all walks of life.
This is very important to remember. Not everyone is part of the club and/or there are various degrees of membership (literally).
There will be some that are just as surprised as the rest of us. There will be some that thought they were just part of a cool secret gang, never knowing the evils deeper in. There will be some that became a part of it, even though they didn't want to, recognizing that "this is just the way the world is," but fought it in their own way at every step. There will be those in that category that later worked to break the system from the inside (DJT, JFK and many others are likely members of this group).
There is nothing black and white here. The real world is a very messy gray area of good v. evil, both between groups, between people, and inside each of us. When the truth comes out, hopefully we can keep our heads and mete out justice with a true understanding of the scope of the tools and evils used to coerce, and without hate or vengeance in our hearts.
The guy who did Out of Shadows for example. He was around evil all the time and didn't even know it.
Sometimes the armor of god is put on you without you knowing it, to protect your mind, because god has a plan for you at a later time.
Agree. I remember the part of the documentary where he talks about replaying things that he heard that struck him as odd, but he didn't know why. I am paraphrasing (a lot) but I have had that feeling so many times.
I imagine pro sports figures must get there by real talent more than being part of a club.
This is one of the more ignorant comments I've seen in a while. I can not support the MLB for obvious reasons, but to blanket label the players as pedos, that is dumb.
Now that is something I haven't heard before. Can you provide some links?
