what the hell? do better manfred? this is a violation of their rights you cant force them to like it

Alternatively, they could just let players who want to wear Pride caps wear them and those who don't can just wear their normal caps. The fact MLB is weighing in on this is incredibly stupid. Don't compel speech.

Writing on baseball caps is an @MLB tradition. On “Pride Night”, several San Francisco Giants’ pitchers wrote Bible verses on their hats. Landen Roupp wrote, “Genesis 9:12-16”, regarding the rainbow as an everlasting sign of His covenant. Leftist sports did not like this. 🙄 foxnews.com/outkick-sports/m…

Provocation is part of the statute. It's impossible for provocation to not be part of the instructions. Why are we still talking about jury instructions? It has literally nothing to do with the merits of the case.

Not going back to tell every single person in my replies that they were wrong, but there were basically two sides over the past week: 1. Texas Tech is evil, corrupt, cheating, and will do anything to win, and you’re a naive dumbass if you think they won’t play Sorsby in the fall vs. 2. Me, telling everyone he wouldn’t play for Texas Tech I asked repeatedly where Joey McGuire or Kirby Hocutt said Sorsby was playing. Shared statements, video, etc., asking people to have some sense and read between the lines a bit. They refused, whipped themselves into a frenzy over something that didn’t happen (and was never going to happen), and now that they’ve been proven wrong they will not behave any differently or take any accountability. Oh well. Texas Tech deserves blame in two areas: the poor vetting of Sorsby in the portal and the poor PR in the wake of the injunction. Both matters of incompetence, not malice. Texas Tech ends the Sorsby saga having broken no NCAA rules, and getting a young man with diagnosed mental health issues the help he needs. That, of course, will not be the takeaway from random fans across the country, who were misled at every turn by national media either too stupid of too dishonest to do their jobs well. But that’s fine; none of those people respected Texas Tech before any of this, despite whatever revisionist history they want to spout now. These people have *always* talked down on Lubbock, our NIL, the Big 12, whatever. Onward and upward. It’s Will Hammond time, we have an amazing coaching staff and GM, elite recruiting, and it’s time to turn the page and go for another Big 12 championship. We did nothing wrong and still get to be the villain 😈 Fun times ahead. Red Raider nation. LFG #WreckEm

It’s funny how some White folks want to say what the white kids did wasn’t murder so their sentences was ok 😂😂 Hilarious. That's why black folks cheered when a guilty oj walked nearly 31 years ago….. and his dumb ass couldn’t stay out of trouble and caught another case over memorabilia.

The Sorsby stuff has been "taked" to death but here is mine after sitting in it for a few days. Barring a change on the legal side, he will be a member of the team in the fall. That's not up to TTU. If he is on the team, he will likely (per contract) earn his full revenue share/NIL money. TTU has no choice in that matter either. The only question then for Texas Tech, is if he plays or if he sits on the bench and earns a paycheck. So what the rest of the country is asking Texas Tech to do, is to pay him to practice, to be on the team, and not play football. This, they say, will protect the integrity of the game. But what did he do that supposedly compromised the integrity of the game in the first place? He placed bets...from the bench. So what we're really talking about isn't protecting game integrity in 2026 at all. We're talking about punishment. Punishing Sorsby for 2022. Punishing Sorsby by paying him $5 million to not play. That's not much of a punishment if you ask me. When you tear away all the bluster and moralizing, what they are really asking is for Texas Tech - and Texas Tech alone - to be punished. Not Sorsby, not Indiana where it happened, not Cincinnati who played him after. Texas Tech alone. The rest of college football would love nothing more, and would be laughing the entire time. Our program should evaluate his mental and physical fitness, and his compliance with the order put in place. We should make sure that, all else being equal, he is our best option before going out on that field. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But we should not let bullying, threats, and emotion (from those who already wished us harm) to have any bearing on that decision whatsoever. Strip it all away and they are really asking for Texas Tech to be the only party in this scandal to be punished. The only party who, by any objective measure, has done absolutely nothing wrong. Do that, and the outrage from the peanut gallery will not turn to adulation, or even silence. It will turn to mockery.

They are already being into for it. Ppl donated specifically for Karmelo’s defense. They sent the money in a house & car. That is fraud plain & simple. Do your research before you call ppl a liar.

Your numbers are way off

More…. Sure, Court appointed defense attorneys are paid for by tax payers.

This is a diversion from the actual issue. The issue is that Texas Tech has a player on the roster who broke the law to gamble on his own team. Not LSU, not Cincinnati, not Indiana. The ONLY school this applies to is Tech.

I genuinely don’t see the problem. I’m sorry… I just don’t. I do see where gambling IS a MAJOR problem - so much so that like…. You’re being naive if you don’t think there are athletes at your school or on your pro teams who are actively gambling. Like, I understand addiction VERY well and I don’t think people realize how much money is being spent or how many people are going down this path… we have a MAJOR mental health crisis looming bc people can gamble from their fucking phones. Families, careers, and life savings are going to be destroyed within a few years and people are not talking about that enough. 67% of college students are high frequency bettors. 16% engage in the highest risk gambling. So, I do think it is irresponsible for the NCAA to set this precedent where a student athlete seeks treatment and transfers to a state where sports gambling is NOT legal. It’s the classic criminalization and punishment over concern for mental health and well-being. The owner of a freakin NBA team quite literally made her fortune off of gambling. Is it ok for an NBA owner to profit off of an upset loss of her own team? If yes, them there should be no problem with a kid gambling and then seeking treatment I just think it’s really wild to ignore the public health crisis that we are facing, but not preparing for while simultaneously acting like Texas fkn Tech and Brandon Sorsby are the problem. It’s happening ACROSS college sports.

This is race-baiting grift. You say White Americans are more likely to ‘encounter a White sex offender’ than get robbed by a Black person. That’s dishonest. There are more total White people on the sex offender registry because there are way more White people in America overall. But here’s the simple truth, I’ll explain it to you like you’re a 2nd grader. Imagine two classrooms. One has 100 kids and 4 troublemakers. The other has 20 kids and 2 troublemakers. The small class has fewer troublemakers total, but twice as many of its kids are troublemakers. That’s ‘per person’ or per capita. Black Americans appear on sex offender lists at roughly twice the rate of White Americans. Your comparison still fails, and violent crime gaps are even larger per capita. Stop twisting numbers to deflect and farm clout.

Oh boy indeed. I already explained it to you the other guy like he was in 2nd grade: two classrooms, one with 100 kids & 4 troublemakers, the other with 20 & 2. The small class has double the trouble rate per kid. Same here. Whites are ~4-5x the population, so more total on registries. But per capita, Black Americans register at roughly twice the White rate. “More likely to encounter” depends on rates, not raw counts. Your “just facts, no context” line is a grift.

Actually, Tech would be directly disobeying a court order and be open and liable to lawsuit by not playing him

You have to be in reasonable fear for your life or grievous bodily injury. Not just ‘fear’

Like this? Fckoff, racist little bitch
