I don’t know Norris’ history well enough to know he’s a racist. Is this a thing?

Yeah.
“I think it’s a culture shock,’’ Norris said. “This is America’s game. This is America’s pastime, and over the last 10-15 years we’ve seen a very big world influence in this game, which we as a union and as players appreciate. We’re opening this game to everyone that can play. However, if you’re going to come into our country and make our American dollars, you need to respect a game that has been here for over a hundred years, and I think sometimes that can be misconstrued. There are some players that have antics, that have done things over the years that we don’t necessarily agree with.

“I understand you want to say it’s a cultural thing or an upbringing thing. But by the time you get to the big leagues, you better have a pretty good understanding of what this league is and how long it’s been around.’’

When he was acquired there were some quotes from him that pointed that direction.

What’s wrong with this exactly? Trying to preserve the culture of an American pastime?

The game belongs to non-American players as much as it does to anyone else. I suspect you know that though.

Hating Matheny and defending Hicks from a racist redneck who is hazing him is now considered "bad" here.

Thought this was the non-Cards Talk sanctuary forum.

Some posters here need to have a little more respect. I mean GRB has been around for over 12 years, by the time you get here, you need to understand what this forum is about and how long it has been around.

Mea culpa.



Mentoring and getting up guys asses who need it is a thing and should be on a team- and in a fire house. Probably should not be the guy who has a rep as a racist or culture warrior.

And Bud Norris continues to get work in spite of egregious racism and locker room cancer
