Re: Bud Norris: Clubhouse Narc
I'd feel better if it was a guy like Waino or Molina.
Bud Norris has done a nice job for the Cardinals, but he doesn't have the stature on this particular team to assume veteran leadership, in my opinion.

Re: Bud Norris: Clubhouse Narc
I had a boss who called me Moron Boy every day for the first 4 months I worked for him. It WAS because he was invested in my future. I wouldn't have achieved what I have if he wasn't so hard on me. But, he was white and so am I, so it wasn't racism, it was just because he was a former drill sergeant and a bit of an ass hole.
It worked for me because I am the type that likes to prove people wrong.
I can't say if Norris is racist or not - I have only seen the one very bad and stupid quote from him. If he is, Matheny is even worse than I thought allowing him to harass Hicks that way.

What in the actual F is going on in this clubhouse!?!?!? Is there any wonder nobody wants to sign in stl? A total regime overhaul isn’t out of the question IMO.

Re: Bud Norris: Clubhouse Narc
Either way this is yet another example of how f'ing toxic Matheny's clubhouse culture has gotten. This nonsense about Norris's "racism" screams moral panic, but at the end of the day this whole mess needs to be flushed down the toilet, asap.

Re: Bud Norris: Clubhouse Narc
Weirdly, I've never needed anyone to call me Moron Boy to provide me with motivation. The reason we're mentioning race in this is because Norris is a racist and has a history of racist comments, and Hicks is young and black. If what was described in the article is in any way true, then the team ought to be a little ashamed of itself.wart57 wrote:I had a boss who called me Moron Boy every day for the first 4 months I worked for him.

I didn't need him to call me Moron Boy to motivate me either, but I also didn't take it too personally either. I had kids in school tell me to go kill myself because it would make everyone's lives better, being called Moron Boy is nothing compared to that.
