Being serious...is this satire?
I refuse to click on time...
I tire of this. I’ll bet we could raise the money for one-way tickets for all these disgruntled people.
This is just bullshit.
Why pollute this forum with it?
I guess it does serve a purpose to display what warped people might be thinking, or lack thereof.
And he’d probably be earning $10,000,000.00 per year which would make it easier to handle.

I don’t know if it would be worse racism, by and large I think there’s fewer racists in this country. But thanks to social media a very small number of people can make a very large amount of noise.
Oh wow, as if anyone has to actually read everybody else’s Facebook, etc.
This is so shrill.
This child was probably not even alive when Milo Hamilton called 715. He also probably never witnessed the Civil Rights movement and only has knowledge from the propaganda he was spoon fed by his communist educators.
I hope Mr. Friedman doesn’t take this as racist...but he seems to have a very black heart.
The only way Hank Aaron would be threatened worse today is if he is in favor of traditional marriage.
The sports fans I hung out with (mostly white) didn’t have a problem with it. Most people want to see records set in their lifetime. (except when you are juicing to do it). I didn’t know Aaron, but I never saw any negative associated with him. Maris may have had tougher time when he passed Ruth’s 60.
Sad. The truth is that Aaron, who was quite conservative, WOULD be hated today - by leftists. The author obviously didn’t do much reading on Aaron.
I tire of this too.
Fishing, casting out there, will anyone bite?
Substantive conversations if you please.
I remember that. Hear the thousands of white bigots shouting the N word.. and at the end of this short video two whites rush from the stands and attack Aaron as he heads for home plate.
Hint: must be wearing your liberal / progressive hat to actually see it that way.
Ridiculous
If Hank Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth's record in today's age of computer databases and baseball sabermetrics, I think a lot more attention would be paid to the peculiar career Aaron had as a baseball star. He held the career home run record for a long time, but he was never really much of a "slugger" in the traditional sense of the word. In his best season he hit only 47 home runs, and I believe he only won three HR titles in his long career.
Aaron was a line-drive hitter with strong wrists who hit a lot of home runs because happened to play most of his career in small ballparks. Oddly enough, his home run record has overshadowed the fact that he was a magnificent all-around hitter. He's still #3 on the all-time list with 3,771, and he has a higher career batting average than Pete Rose (who has very little to his credit beyond his records as a singles hitter).
And here's what I consider to be one of the most amazing baseball numbers of all time: Hank Aaron would still be a member of the 3,000-hit club even if you took his 755 career home runs out of his hit total!
B.S.!
This nation accepted BARRY BONDS....a juicing, cheating, cocky, arrogant, obnoxious, two-faced jerk as Home Run King, and did so rather graciously. And he is as black as anyone on the planet.
Hank Aaron is a saint compared to this guy. America would embrace him whole-heartedly if he set the record today.
Sarcasm?..... then I saw Time. Well maybe not. Maybe they really do believe this crap.
But I never heard or read anything racist toward this Home Run King.
So, did Jon Friedman learn his racism at the feet of President Simba, the “media community organizer”, or is his racism home-grown?
