I just read the Jays are removing his number and banner from Skydome so that's a pretty solid statement.
yea they are removing any ties to him altogether. unrelated but isnt this the same dude that intentionally spit in an umpires face?
I think when he was with Baltimore, yeah. When the Orioles came to Toronto so it was in front of his old fans. I think I was watching that game on TV.

Imagine needing a safe space because a card was in your inventory. You don't have to use it though and it can be buried by getting better cards...
Seriously no one even knows what he allegedly did so who the hell are we to judge?
I didn’t say safe space? We have pride flags available in custom stadiums, Jackie Robinson on the cover and a huge banner in MLB 20 for a month commemorating BLM. I’m asking all movements to be equally supported.
What movement is this supporting? The "lets jump to conclusions and judge someone with absolutely no facts about the situation" movement? Sexual misconduct can mean anything from telling a woman she looks nice today to unwanted penetration. Pretty sure its not the latter because he would be getting arrested right now. He's not being removed from the MLB HOF as per their statement so i think its safe to say that it was nothing violent. Again, who are we to judge? If you dont wanna use the card, dont. There are better 2B in here so buy them up and bury him. You literally dont have to see this card at all unless you intend to go to your inventory every morning to stare at it over a cup of coffee.
Matt Gaetz has entered the conversation.
Hey, how you doing, Matt? Just a heads up....people here like to play judge jury and executioner without knowing any facts. But im sure you already knew that.

It’s an even better thing his disgusting actions are being exposed to the point his personal life will have him removed from a game that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Ty Cobb did much worse. Pretending Roberto Alomar, Jr didn't exist... what are you going to do for the 1992 Blue Jays? Have a random guy in his spot? Pretend he never existed?
-
It’s a video game, if you don’t like him don’t use him. Let’s all get stronger as people, these things don’t have to crumble us to our cores. It’s a video game.

Well, sucks for you since you won't be able to watch the 1991 or 1992 Blue Jays World Series championships anymore.
No one pretends OJ Simpson wasn't a member of the Buffalo Bills.
-
Well if it'd a sign of things they removed him from the main screen when it shows rewards for daily moments. He is still in the reward path it just doesn't display him on the main page anymore with Giambi

Can you tell me anything about these "disgusting actions" because the Blue Jays and MLB havent said anything. What exactly did he do?

You don't have to honor him, but pretending he doesn't exist? Removing all traces?
Sorry, sports don't work that way, especially team sports.
What are you going to do when playing as the 1991 Blue Jays?

But the most outrageous incident might be what happened more than a century ago today. While playing against the Highlanders in New York, Cobb was so incensed by remarks from a heckler named Claude Lucker that he charged into the stands and attacked the man. As Cobb began beating and stomping the man with those razor-sharp cleats that had punished so many basemen, a crew of his teammates held people at bay. Some in the crowd protested, since Lucker had lost all of one hand and most of the other in an industrial accident, and couldn't defend himself with his fists. A cry went up: “Cobb, that man has no hands!” Cobb reportedly yelled back in a psychotic rage, “I don’t care if he got no feet!” Protected by his teammates, the beating went on until a cop and an umpire led Cobb away.

Sexual harassment and assault.
It was sexual misconduct, which could be anything from saying "Hey you look really pretty today" to brushing up against someone walking into a room or actual intentional unwanted touching. They aren't telling us what that misconduct was. Maybe you're totally fine with crucifying someone without knowing the situation but those of us that are normal aren't.

Assault means any unwanted sexual contact.

Done even reading about it.

You keep saying assault when the media has never used that word in this case. You realize that misconduct and assault arent the same thing, right? So im gonna go out on a limb and say that you know less than zero about this.
