The only laughable part is the racist organization that is the seattle mariners ....

To be frank my viewpoint falls more in line with blm and protestors of police violence than they do with that idiot Clevenger ....

But you know damned well if someone made a pro blm or pro protestor tweet it would be perfectly fine.... but this dude makes one and is suspended without pay for the rest of the season and thrown under the bus ?

Either you allow all viewpoints or you allow none .

I thought Americans stood for freedom.... lol


There's a big difference between saying, "I think the kid was at fault." And, "Obama and all his animal friends should rot in jail."

Also...I would certainly hope you're not in line with Clevenger... Violence be it physical, verbal, or mental should not be tolerated...

He has the freedom to say whatever the hell he wants, but when he is saying things as a representative of a business he has the freedom to face the potential consequences. His viewpoints are "allowed". He simply can't damage the reputation of a business by airing those beliefs with a megaphone like twitter.

Except when people make inciteful statements that are the opposite of this viewpoint

I think you missed a key point in that post, my friend...

I'm certain the mariners would act the same if he was doing it the other way around.

I.e. "White people cheering the slaughter of black people because a crooked cop killed an harmless youth! Shit is wack! All the cops can burn at the stake like the soul sucking twinkling vampiric witches that they are, including our secretary of defense he ain't defending shit!"

It's equally offensive (or as best as I can do, I'm not great at it).

I'll reiterate, it's not his opinion it's the way he said it. Though... It could also be opinion, since they were told not post stuff like this...

Last Friday, at the Mariners' Social Media Night, team General Manager Jerry Dipoto told us that the team has a preseason workshop on what is expected for players who choose to use social media, and a reminder that they are a reflection of the Seattle Mariners organization. Given that context, and the beautiful diversity of the Mariners' big league and Double-A rosters (the two teams that Clevenger has played for this year) Clevenger's comments stand out, first and foremost, for their incredibly poor judgment.

Ketel Marte needs to be put down. That single error may have ended our season.

So the way it looks if there were a tiebreaker game or if we were in the WC game, Paxton would be the likely starter
