Maybe they learned the technique from George Soros, who as a young Jewish boy turned in Jewish people to the Nazis for a nice little nest egg. They all went for a boxcar ride. he parlayed the dirty money to where he today.

People like that deserve to be asked "Why don't you take your walk in a more urban setting?"

900 snitches adds up to quite a few stitches. Will these sutures be provided by china?

Social media, like KARMA is a bitch...stay afraid Karens'...stay very afraid.

And said he doesn't feel bad about it at all. If he didn't do it others would have.

The stitches are considered non-essential elective medical procedures. They’ll have to wait another month.

DUDE! That was funny as hell (at least to me)

Thanks man. I try.

What was that old saying that DI's used to use?

"Never miss an opportunity to shut the f@#% up"

Just wait till those of us refuse to take the mark of the beast!

Then it will really be game on, Karen!

Now, on the lighter side. Sorry for the thread drift. Here is the title:

Column: Will the new coronavirus kill spitting in sports?

We come not to praise the loogie, but to bury it.

Already banned on sidewalks, outlawed indoors and pooh-poohed by polite society, that gob of saliva and Lord-knows-what-else is done mucking up sports. In the wake of the new coronavirus, teams are revoking the germ-landing privileges that turned dugouts, benches, boxing rings and even grass fields into potential biohazard sites.

No sharing towels, hats, bats, gloves or water bottles. Which could mean the golden era of spitting, slobbering, gleaking, glanding, hawking, hocking, venoming and expectorating is about to dry up. Or not.

About time they did something,” said Bobby Valentine, who played and managed in the major leagues for more than 40 years, including two stints in the Japanese Pacific League.

“I was over there for seven years and I could probably count on one hand how many times I saw a ballplayer spit. Heck,” he added, “they don’t even chew gum.”

But a moment later, Valentine remembers a photo tucked in a drawer somewhere in his Stamford, Connecticut, home. It reminds him why the loogie will not disappear without a fight.
“It’s a picture of me after a game from 30 years ago, back when I was managing the Rangers and behind me there’s this elongated view of the dugout. There must have been 200 of those green Gatorade cups and all this other … let’s just say gunk, laying around.

“And I used to wonder even then,” Valentine mused, “why guys couldn’t clean up after themselves.”

The answer may be as old — and as American — as the sport itself. Baseball began as a working-man’s game on sandlots and dusty diamonds, and more than a few players struggling with “cotton mouth” turned to chewing tobacco (and later gum and sunflower seeds) to work up some moisture. It became an institution in no time flat.

Pitchers figured out that loading a glob onto one side of the ball made it dip like crazy. Fielders pounded spit into the pocket of stiff leather gloves to soften them up and hitters rubbed it on their hands or lacquered up bat handles to improve their grips, at least temporarily. But it had psychological value, too.

Spitting helped some soothe jangling nerves, show contempt or machismo, or just mark their territory like dogs do. It was only a problem when an opponent got in the way of its gravity.

So how are you going to feel when some newspaper publishes a list of firearms that you own along with your home address? Bet you won't like that. Especially after your front door was kicked in and your firearm collection carried off.

It's a slippery slope and this crap always end up having an effect much wider than the original intent.

Yep, because informing to the Gestapo is just like exercising a Constitutional Right.

I thought you bragged you studied the Constitution and understood it, Scooter?

I know, it's no wonder that you'd want to protect and side with the statists who informed to the government on people who weren't doing what you wanted them to. If it saves one life and whatnot.

They can publish the address of homes with guns, but that would mean those not published don’t have guns. If you were a criminal which address would you go to, if you were going to rob it?

Life trumps liberty, am I right?

To protect them from a virus that 99 percent will survive.

And 85 percent will have little or no symptoms.

How cute.

How long until people get it? Math doesn't lie. Ridiculous what fear does to people.

You, the guy who equates not shutting ourselves in our houses and not wearing those stupid masks with attempted murder, and thinks the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are in the Constitution, presume to lecture us?

That's some fine manure ya got there, scooter.

All slippery-slopey and other excuses, uh huh.

Apples and oranges, man. But hey, you got the fertilizer to grow 'em both.

Say, scoot- just between you and me- who'd you narc on? C'mon, you can tell me. I can keep a secret.

These are the same people who snitched in school and wanted to be hall monitors. It makes them feel important.

The wanna be Adam Schiffs of the world...

Paltry excuses for humans, missing something very big in their lives, thrilled by the "power" they have and the exhilaration felt when "exercising" it...
