this is not news, market watch.
hank aaron has long been swooning over the statists who pretend to care about the downtrodden.
he is a liberal from several years back.
sorry to say, because i think he was a class act as a player.
oh well.
So my otherwise non-racist friend who used some ‘colorful’ terms to describe his exceeding of Babe Ruth’s record...he was right, I guess.
He may be a victim of too many head injuries in the sport. Did they always wear helmets when batting back then?
I’m sure he’d have said something a lot different had an NHL team or whatever refused to attend the White House during the Obama regime.
When I was a boy in the 50’s you had Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ernie Banks as my hero’s, of course Mickey Mantle was the king! You never hear Willy Mays or Ernie Banks make these kind of comments!
Free Speech does not include the right to disregard the demands of your employer ordering you to go to the White House.
Any athlete that refused those orders should be banned from their league.
He always was an ungracious arrogant a-hole. If you follow his public statements for the last 40 some odd years, he always loves to play the victim. It’s all about taking for this selfish loser. No giving back. Just all about what society owes him.
What if, at the outset of the Founding, an amendment was written that abolished all slavery.
What would have happened to blacks today and their ancestors?
I'll tell you what would have happened.
They would have been mauled to death by animal predators in the African jungles.
Died of disease or starvation.
Killed by other rival African tribes.
Enslaved by other Africans or Middle Easterners.
Not defending slavery. It was evil and wrong. But can blacks say that they are better off here in America than if it hadn't happened?

Well then it's a good thing no one invited you, racist assclown!
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens for the 2018 World Series Champions and going to the White House.

People in Mobile, AL where Hank lives know he’s a POS. Most cannot stand the sorry bastard.
This is not something new. It has been this way for many years. I’ve known some of his neighbors and they can confirm.
It is always funny how these people that have never been asked to visit the WH or design Melania’s cloths were never asked to do so. It is also a shame that someone like Hank Aaron degrades himself like this. Another person who had really dropped I my opinion.
Sort of like Hollywood zeroes using their fame to speak out, huh? I don’t think that makes them intelligent observers or worthy of admirable opinions.
One of Henry Aaron’s sisters, Alredia, is the wife of Rep. David Scott (Dem, GA-13). Hank Aaron is hardly apolitical, but his day has come and gone and I couldn’t care less what he thinks about anything.
Wow, another Snapped Negro, I’m so surprised.
Blacks are like Moonies, after a century of Conditioning by Democrats, they would sell flowers at airports and chant Hari Krishna, if their Owners told them too.
Hank Aaron SHUT UP AND SING
I thought Hank had died during the Obonzo era. He was always shooting off his big mouth. Then he went silent for eight years. Now he’s back to shooting off his big mouth again. Sorry, never was a fan of his.
Of all of them, Jesse Owens had the most class. And he was a staunch Republican.
