As far as Jared Fogle, he committed a crime. Did this wannabe blogger?

If the Cardinals hosted an African-American night and said he didn't want his family to be a part of that, would you feel the same?

Re: Random musings
I would feel the exact same as I do now. He is a bigot. I would want no association with him. His views should be known so that people like that can be outed.MrCrowesGarden wrote:Tim wrote:I guess my point is that I don't go to VEB to read political/religious/psychiatric view points.

If he wrote pieces about baseball that I would find enjoyable then I would read it.
I think Michael Crichton's views on global warming were wrongheaded and dangerous. I sure liked Congo though.

I would not knowingly accommodate a bigot.

Re: Random musings
I'd also argue that the [expletive] views aren't irrelevant because the subject matter is unrelated.
But the subject matter also isn't unrelated.

VEB wrote an article about why the Cardinals should host a Pride Night last year. It may very well have been the impetus to get the Cardinals to do it. They're related.
VEB writes about much more than baseball games.

Re: Random musings
Ah, well then you got me. Haven't been on VEB for awhile. If they've been writing about political/religious subjects and they almost hired someone with views counter to their core beliefs and mission, it would seem like someone didn't do their homework.MrCrowesGarden wrote: VEB wrote an article about why the Cardinals should host a Pride Night last year.
