I watched about 5 or 6 episodes, but the genre is less than appealing to me, so I bailed.

Reminded me of too many in the GOP.

I think it reminded a lot of people of today's twisted and perverse Republican party.

The show to date, is disturbing as hell in its portrayal of the cruelty and inhumanity, it probably makes Mike Pence hard, and Amy Coney Barrett giggle. but I digress.

Reading about Toronto's basketball team in the news and of the Celtics and their GM reminded me of this headline from 1981:

Excellent piece on why "Red-light" Schilling needs to be allowed by the BBWAA to fade to black. Unrepentant racists have no place in the HOF. Voting for one is an act of complicity that should be unforgivable.

Given who else is in there with political foibles, it's hard to see a consistent reason to keep him out.

Not that I find the HoF voters to be especially consistent.

Not good news for the (former) rookie. I hope it turns out to have been a tempest in a teapot, with nobody hurt beyond feelings, but I am not optimistic.

And there's the rub. NO SPORTSWRITER should be involved with putting players in the HOF.

Especially those who can not see that putting someone as indecent a person, as bigoted, as racist, and as narcissistic as this one. The excuse of saying "given who else is in there" is just that. An excuse. There is no need to perpetuate mistakes that have been made in the past.
