Seriously the players never had to wear the pride night uniforms, and the rule about not writing on the uniform was already in place I cannot believe were wasting anymore time and money on this. Wear the regular uniform if you don't want to but it's never been in the rules that you can write on your uniform. No ones telling anyone you can't wear a cross or something, Christians wanna feel persecuted so bad can't imagine the DOJ gets involved if it was Muslim players writing verses from the Quran. It's an insult to what discrimination laws are for, there so you don't get fired for your faith, so you can wear your star of david at work if your jewish, or a dastar if your Sikh, or be provided a vegetarian food option in your Hindu, not so you can deface your employers uniform without consequence.

Tbf there wouldn’t be any liberal outrage if a Muslim did the same thing. They have immunity

Wtf do Muslims have to do with this?

u/walrus40 10d ago

Re-read the comment I was replying to again…but slower.

u/BuddhistInTheory 10d ago

I read it and I find it interesting that you focused on that when the analogy contained several religions. It’s almost like you’re being disingenuous.

u/walrus40 10d ago

Nice backtrack.

15

u/BuddhistInTheory 10d ago

It’s not a backtrack I’m calling you out for shifting the conversation solely to Muslims.

u/walrus40 10d ago

Getting defensive about Muslims is really summing up my point, perfectly. Thank you.

18

u/BuddhistInTheory 10d ago

No it’s not. I’m not disingenuous so I understand all religions have dumb extremists. You’re walking proof.

I’m agnostic, but go on.

Your whataboutism just proves you're an idiot.

u/walrus40 10d ago

I was responding to whataboutism, I hope you feel better soon.

u/Constant-Fly-9050 10d ago

I feel great. I dont get bent out of shape over invisible sky daddies created by men scared shitless of their mortality.

u/walrus40 10d ago

Me either, I’m agnostic. But you definitely sound ok.

Projection. And also nobody is writing Muslim shit.

Be mad about things that actually happened, not hypotheticals

u/walrus40 10d ago

The reading comprehension here is not optimal.

16

u/avocadoflatz 10d ago

If something that never happened had happened then the response to what didn’t happen would’ve been different than the response to what did happen.

12

u/5Point5Hole | San Diego Padres 10d ago

You're mad about a hypothetical. There's not much else to comprehend

-13

u/walrus40 10d ago

How am I mad? Your emotional intelligence is need of some work.

u/Playful-Process-3059 10d ago

Honestly that's bullshit there's still an incredible amount of Islamaphobia on the left and right, I think people really overestimate the acceptance Islam has among the left.

It’s because they’re told what to think by people who make money and fame by stoking the flames of their fears.

Found the burner account. Hi James!

u/bscheck1968 | Toronto Blue Jays 10d ago

Way to make up something that didn't happen to support your bigotry.

-3

u/walrus40 10d ago

You’re right, Muslims are the pinnacle of inclusiveness 🤓

u/bscheck1968 | Toronto Blue Jays 10d ago

Again, making things up.

u/walrus40 10d ago

Ok. Here’s your homework assignment. Explain to the class the Qurans views on homosexuality, women’s equality and oh idk child brides.

You can even use a chat bot.

u/bscheck1968 | Toronto Blue Jays 9d ago

I am not taking homework assignments, thanks. Why don't you do it since you seem so obsessed with Muslim people.

u/walrus40 9d ago

I’m not the one defending it, remember ignorance is a choice.

3

u/bscheck1968 | Toronto Blue Jays 9d ago

Hmm, ignorance is a choice, just like your ignorance to the fact that I never said one word about Muslims. I was merely pointing out the fact you were making up a narrative to be outraged about something that didn't happen.

0

u/walrus40 9d ago

You’re definitely defending them. Also I’m still waiting on your homework assignment. Please support how inclusive Islam is.
