I'm Cuban and I know this is complete bullshit. Baseball media outlets have been promoting guys like Cespedes and Puig 24/7. MLB's youtube channel literally had a video just showing off all the different cars that Cespedes drove to training. And this isn't a new thing either. Sosa, A-Rod, Pujols, Cabrera....pretty much every season for the last 20 years or so, one of the most popular and most promoted players has been latino.

MLB execs are promoting their latino players because they know that latinos are what will keep baseball growing, without us it really is a dying sport. I wonder if the author of this article has ever even spoken to a latino baseball fan.

Who the fuck cares. Do what you need to fucking do in life. There will always be fucking crazies, but what can you do about it? If you want to get into politics, go for it. Start your own right-wing party if you want. Otherwise, what the fuck is the point in getting bothered? Surely focusing on your life and your problems and advancing yourself is a more productive use of your energy, no?

Having some sort of impotent rage at the world just shows how weak you are. Because if you were strong you would live your life and not give a fuck. It's literally so fucking unproductive, in fact it's counter-productive.

I don't know if somebody posted this yet, but MLB baseball is only 60% white. That's about how much of the US is white, just slightly less even, so they're represented perfectly fair. How could this even be an issue for anyone?
>>
>According to CBS News, major league baseball players are 60.4 percent white, 27 percent Latino, 10.2 percent African American and 2.4 percent Asian. This compares fairly well with the national demographic profile, which is 62.1 percent white, 17.4 percent Latino, 13.2 percent African Americans and 5.4 percent Asian,
How about that, the only league in the country to more or less accurately represent national average is the one called out as racist.

I'm bothered because culture in the west seems to - in my short life - have done a complete U-turn.

I'm not bothered about crappy articles that no-one will read, it's more the general changes that have/are happening. I go to the gym and work hard on my business, but it can only get you so far. I never voted for tons of people to come over here and make this place feel less like my home, but they have done anyway, and lifting fucking weights won't fix that.

"Additionally, it was discovered that black women marry outside their race less often than black men. Only 9 percent of black women date or marry white men, while 24 percent of black males end up with white women.

But, even as black and white relationships are less likely, William H. Frey of Brookings says that the number is still significant and shows how America is changing.

Frey noted, “as black-white marriages were prohibited in 16 states until 1967. The fact that nearly three in 10 new black marriages are multiracial with most of them to white spouses reflects an important shift toward blurring a long-held color line in the United States.”

I'm 25 and I wouldn't say it's done a U-turn. Political Correctness has been around ever since I was a kid. If I think about how the BBC was, it was always way too politically correct, way too sanitised, always talking about how people are getting offended or whatever. If I read articles on the BBC site from 10-15 years ago they still have that vibe.

Yeah there is obviously a wave of uber-left-wingism at the moment but there's also a wave of nationalism and right-wingism. It will change soon, it always does.

Things have gone too far to change, this is my point. You can't turn back the tide. Regardless of a shift to the left/right, there are simply too many non-British people here now to keep the culture British. There won't be any uprising, 'race war' or mass-organised movement. White countries will just slowly die.

I know what you're saying about the BBC, and I'm only 3 years younger than you btw. But, when it was just the BBC, loons from Islington, and various unshaven types spouting this stuff, it was ok. Now political correctness and affirmative action are everywhere and you can't get away from it. It's distressing to see your countrymen become such pussies.

I would agree it's become popular but only five years ago it wasn't popular. I was at university and I (at the time) supported unisex toilets (because I was a left-wing nob). At the time people thought that was crazy and fucking weird, whereas nowadays it's fashionable. Fashions change.
>It's distressing to see your countrymen become such pussies.
This has been happening for decades, from the sexual revolution and civil rights movement of the 60s, feminism of the 70s, yuppies of the 80s being obsessed with appearance and displays of wealth, instead of being strong men like you had back in the 30s/40s/50s.

I meant business just as a catch-all term for being self-employed. I don't actually run a licensed business yet but I'll probably get to that point soon enough. Basically I gamble, trade on betting exchanges and freelance online.

If you're going self-employed, prepare for uncertainty by taking much more cash than you think you need. If you're starting a business, you need to focus on the demands and wants of the customer. In that respect, anyone who tells you to 'follow your passion' is almost certainly wrong. The world doesn't need another sports shop. The world only cares about the value you can provide it.

It's stressful at times, but, for me it's the only happy option. I hope I never have to go back to regular wage-slavery.

Because the rules are retarded and people not carrying the ball are allowed to be tackled as well as high tackles being permitted.

You gotta be honest, they should rename themselves Gridiron if they want to sound cool. "Soccer" is way more deserving of the name Football because they actually play most of the game with their feet. So I just choose to call it eggball, you got a fat guy in the center who poops out the egg, the quarterback cradles the egg, guys run and catch the egg and cradle it to protect it. And once in a while a foot kicks it

The rules are retarded because they aren't safe at all/ You know if there were taught how to properly tackle below the waist all the retarded injuries and concussions wouldn't happen.

>>
>>68173208
People do go for the waste, but you're not going to get it perfectly every time, with people bent over to charge through tackles and moving and juking quickly to avoid you. There are rules in place to protect people still, like no helmet to helmet tackles

Growing up playing rugby I can tell you I cringe at the thought of a tackle higher than chest level. I've no problem with a guy getting wiped out from a solid tackle around the waist really but the stop start nature of american football is ridiculous as it allows people to put 100% into every tackle. Rugby is a violent sport but at the very least the nature of it doesn't lead itself to people having brain damage.

You sound like a real wannabe-alpha cool guy that doesnt give a fuck, but is actually a weak poofter on some "the 12 step program to become alpha"

You stay "fucking cool yo" and don't "give a fuck" about the world around you since you probably live in your moms basement reading The Game by Neil Strauss every day despite never going out. The rest of us, the majority atleast, want to change the degenerate culture in the west where self hatred for whites is the thing right now
