They don't play baseball because they are insightful wise people. They play baseball because they have 20/10 vision and can throw a ball hard. 

Mental horsepower is not really a requirement, or frankly, even a useful item.

jordan's is primarily just jesus freak stuff. huston's is extraordinarily toxic and hateful maga/qanon shit.

ever since his dad died and his wife fucked around on him and left him for one of his best friends, he totally lost his fucking mind.

super disappointing.

This is where I fall. One of the primary tenets you see in assholes is that everything good in their life was becuase of their exceptionalism, and everything bad that has happened, happened TO them. There's no in between for those people.

Pretty good chance he was always this way. Social media simply allowed his abhorrent views to be seen by more people.

Some of them, if you sleep with their wives, and their wives leave as a result, and you put it in their heads that their wives are leaving them for their best friend instead of somebody their wife met through a friend-of-a-friend and then hooked up for just a weekend, they go right into MAGA territory and then off the fucking deep end and into Qanon territory.

No disagreement. I’m just saying that since then, he’s really gone public with his stupidity in a very toxic way. He’s clearly in a dark place if you look at his twitter. He responds to practically every single thing anyone says to him with childish horseshit in thousands of very cringey responses to each and every reply…even obvious bots.

But yeah, if you just consider his three sons’ names, it is clear he’s always been a dumbfuck. I’m just saying I think his very deep seated anger/rage that drips from his every post is partially fueled by the humiliation of finding out that your wife has been fucking your best friend on all of your vacations for years right under your nose (and then left you to marry him) has to embitter someone in a unique way. Like I said, very disappointing since 2002 was the first major championship that a lot of us experienced as Texas fans but it is what it is. Dumbshits gonna dumbshit. I’m still had fun in June 2002.

i couldn’t give two fucks about swindell. I was 3 when he was pitching and he seems like a complete and utter dipshit just like most baseball players.

Well, it's comparable to the level of shit. Swindell posted some shit that was dumb and MAGA. Street is actively making and sharing posts attacking Tim Walz proving he's a dumb asshole. Basically, one is a lot more aggressive and in their shittiness.

The experience I had as a kid/young man was reconfirmed by the experience my son had: baseball attracts assholes.  I don't know why it is, but my high school baseball team was all of the biggest assholes in school.  And it was ultimately what led me to give up playing (yeah--the fact that I couldn't hit a fastball that had any movement on it had nothing to do with it at all).

Playing hockey was the exact opposite experience.  Not that there isn't assholish behavior.  And not that I never got into a fight in a parking lot after a game.  But on balance, it was just a bunch of chill dudes who understood that we're all on the same team and we're all looking forward to going out drinking after the game.

[jimmyjazz 45192]

Well, hockey and basketball and soccer and football are sports that demand pretty intricate teamplay.  Baseball (as much as I love it) comes down to pitcher against batter most of the time.  It doesn't demand the team play those other sports do.

Yeah, for whatever reason hockey culture is the best. It’s probably the same percentage of dumbasses, but generally hockey dumbasses are fun and harmless vs. baseball dumbasses always being charmless hateful assholes.
