Bart, I like your comments. All too true. The strike zone for Bonds is
ridiculous. Intentionally. I remember being on a nationalist type site a
few years ago, and one of the members claimed to have worked in sports
television, for several pro sports teams and such. He said that he knew
for a fact that Bud Selig wanted Bonds to have the season HR record, and
that word was out to let his obvious drug use go, not to mention making
sure umps were very stingy toward pitchers facing Bonds, never mind
pitchers being told to give up the HR ball(!). He said Selig privately
claimed this would bring American blacks back to the game, but that he
felt this wasn't Selig's real reason for this. Bonds then went out and did
indeed get the record. While the stories this guy told could have been
crap, he also said that baseball would be slowly gearing up to put more
and more and more latins (from the US and Central America) into MLB,
along with more foreigners (as long as they weren't white). He stated that
MLB wanted whites down to 20% or less, and their records 'purged'. When
challenged, he would fire off snide remarks and state "just you wait". As I
said, the guy might have been full of crap, but the things he claimed/
predicted did happen, and his predictions about the '04 Olympics were
worthy of a psychic. And he was saying all this stuff before Bonds'
records, etc. I wish he would post here.
His comments on boxing were also insightful. He predicted E. Europeans
would take over the heavyweight division and that that might bring other
whites from the US and the rest of Europe in - but not without a huge
fight from the 'real folks in charge' using their media manipulation to
control the federations, judges, buy off fighters, etc. Who knows?
The more I think about it, the more I think I should go back to that site,
see if I can dig up his posts and e-mail and try and get him to post here.
Could be interesting and/or fun.
