The “42”
-
I think putting politics into a video game by celebrating anything based on identity is pretty lame. I think we should progress as a society and start thinking and looking at everyone as human beings and not what group they identify with...
since i cant quote literally ANYTHING in this thread ill do it the old fashioned way....
completely agree here. identifying by color and not just being a special human is just NOT IT.
-
Some people will never understand!!
If you really think this is political...
That's all I'm going to say!! SMH -
It's not political. Y'all are giving SDS too much credit. It's 5 ball players and it's a pre order pack. 5 more to get revealed next week.
They'll all be low diamonds, they'll have these packs scattered everywhere in the game as well for a collection.
Oh. The skin tone of the 5 revealed happen to be people of color.
Let's play ball here.
If you want political stuff or cancel culture discussion, I'm sure you can find a reddit thread about Aunt Jemima, Mr Potato Head, Gina Carano, or D Watson.

Why are so many of you making this about race??? Mariano Rivera isn’t African American. Jackie is on the cover for the deluxe editions.
-
I took it as a celebration of Jackie and what he accomplished,nothing more.
-
I’m curious if any of the diamond choice packs will include any white players.

He wore 42, and is still a minority as well. We’ll truly know if it’s about race if they don’t include Bruce sutter in the pack, given that he was also a prominent player that wore 42.

Last years was political, we all know why they did it and nobody blames them for sharing their stance on it. Not going down that rabbit hole, but this is quite a bit different since this is just celebrating the man who changed the game, and thats Jackie Robinson.

Sharing their stance? You do know the political group they backed is anti-America right? Do a little research and you will see what they really stand for and it’s not about their t-shirt slogans either.

The WHOLE country had it. It's a little more laid back right this moment. People are trying to focus on the baseball side of things, including the developers and content pushers.
Take it easy son... It's going to be ok. I promise...

Are some people really whining over the mere possibility that "the 42" will be people of color?

I blame them kind of. I think they should shut their mouth about their stance. There are a lot of law enforcement officers that were killed due to that sugar coated hate speech.
And a lot of those officers play this game.

Would people whine if there was a ty Cobb pack that was labeled something and only included white players for the reason of white culture? or is that racist? I’m just anti-racism. Creating packs and ostracizing whole groups or creating groups based on a group identity seems racist to me

I love Jackie Robinson! I love the 42 pack! And i love the card art! I love the fact that part of the proceeds are going to the Jackie Robinson Foundation!

This exactly. If it’s considered racist for one group to do something, it’s just as racist for the other group to do it as well.
I’m a black man that had relatively successful parents growing up, lived in a good neighborhood, and went to a good school. Point being, I’ve had a ton of white friends in my life. And I’ve had a lot of opportunities that were handed to me purely because of my race. We aren’t the most oppressed group in america anymore, not by a long shot. One look at all the anti-white rhetoric from the media and companies will tell you that. I’ve heard too many stories from my friends about being turned away from jobs solely because the company needed more diversity hires. It seems SDS is potentially bringing anti-white feelings and politics into the game this year more than ever, which is just sad and pointless, in my opinion.

Celebrating Jackie and recognizing the doors he opened for generations to come (not to mention acknowledging the grace and way he carried himself amidst all the needless suffering he endured) is not “anti-white.” Explain to me why that’s “anti-white.” A set of cards featuring African American or PoC is not divisive. You know what’s divisive? People spinning it as “anti-white.”
That’s insane. Celebrating Jackie’s legacy doesn’t do anything to hurt white people. I’m white, and all us white people got together at the country club yesterday and we are going to find a way to power through this. So don’t worry about us, man. We’ll survive.
All the people crying about how this is racist because it excludes white people should just do this little trick: tell yourself that any cards of players up to 1947 are part of your very own all-white people collection. So if any white people out there have their previous feelings hurt, just collect Honus and Cobb and Babe and Lou and Foxx and Cy and Lefty and Walter Johnson, etc etc etc and just rock your fragile self to sleep by telling yourself you’ve collected all the cards from the whites only collection.
