I keep seeing ppl acting like it’s a racism thing as opposed to journalists being bytches because Bonds didn’t mess with them.
Bob Costas: "Baseball purists believe 62 is the legitimate record"
- Thread starter Saysumthinfunnymike
- Start date
All NL hitters and all roided.McGwire hit 70. Costas saying 62 is the record discredits him along with Bonds & Sosa

Follow me to the truth
Cause
1. Why would you even care about a racist opinion?
2. Nobody's opinion matters because the official record in the book belongs to Bonds so who gives a fukk if somebody says the honor the 62
3. Most yall looking for the dispute that hasn't even been there as much as yall want it to be. Everything says AL HR record. Nothing ever said HR record.
4. Like bro said above yall doing too much. Yall can't even appreciate what Judge did cause in every thread yall on some hater shyt and its for no reason other than to say Bonds is the real record holder and better hitter than Judge, when nobody ever said Judge was better that Barry as a hitter.
Thats all insecurity for what reason tho? you gotta dig in your heart and find out yourself.

You’re naive as hell if you don’t think racism plays a part in it. Bonds is labeled as the stereotypical angry black man. David Ortiz was on the juice and tested positive for it (something Bonds NEVER did) but they love him because he kisses their ass and shows his gums to them.

First of all it’s not an act. Second of all, even good Black people have been used by some to project a race schism. Who gives a fukk if he’s mixed? That proves nothing
Bruh, all damn day these folks been on radio and tv saying Judge has the real record. And I don’t mean Joe from Pocano, these are baseball writers, GMs, etc…..people associated with the fame.
Steve Philips been on the radio all week saying Judge has the most impressive offensive season of all time, period.

Ortiz is one of them” I’m a foreigner. I don’t want any trouble” Types Ozzie Guillen used to talk about
They dismissed it because it was silly then and it's silly now
I used to think Obama resentment birthed MAGA, but was it backlash to Barry Bonds?
The Kwame Brown story, and his comments about media feeding Black athlete bashing to an eager audience......gave me flashbacks to the fury unleashed on sports radio when Bonds approached and then passed the number 2 person on the all time HOME RUN list, Babe Ruth. Who else remembers hearing...
Tried to point something out a while ago. Since it wasn't a hot topic, dudes dismissed it with smilies and insults.
Doesn’t the fact that Ortiz is beloved prove that it’s less about racism and more about kissing the journalists ass? Bob Gibson is treated like Jesus among a lot of the older folks and he was an actual a$$hole.

VOTE!!!
if anyone doing too much it's u and @Shadow King right now. There's terrible threads all over the coli but a thread on a real issue in sports media coverage and fan culture is where you want to draw a line? if you don't wanna discuss it then don't. nobody is insecure. You are just following people around tryna argue about what threads should be made.

Bob Gibson was a roider? Your comparison is senseless

Costas publicly saying what he said SIXTEEN years after Bonds passed Ruth is just scratching the surface.
Years from now, some historian will point to that as a flashpoint in the rise of this overtly racist era, and just maybe you will see it then.
alright, bro. You’ve got it.
