re white and black racism was about the phillies in article apr princeton edu niepornt phoenix princeton edu david marc nieporent writes in article p psilink com dennis g parslow p psilink com writes to beat a dead horse i seem to remember a fair amount of sympathy for some black fringe player named roberto clemente and for roy campanella and for thurman munson and for just about anyone else who we may not even have liked as players but mourned for dying too young wiggins alan i believe he was well out of baseball by the time he died but that s besides the point i m sure people would feel slightly sympathetic for rickey if he were killed but they would also be criticizing him a lot more for his actions example how about jose canseco he gets a couple of speeding tickets and all of the sudden his attitude is awful what the hell do speeding tickets have to do with clubhouse influence anyway so why do sportswriters talk about it all the time uh he also has been charged with chasing his wife in a car and smashing it into a tree as well as carrying a loaded firearm in his car and the speeding reported was over mph reckless driving or brian hunter and keith mitchell both of whom had dwi problems towards the end of last year two years ago it was cited as a sign of their immaturity etc actually i hadn t heard about this thanks meanwhile dykstra almost killed both himself and daulton and i didn t read any sportswriter complaining about that they may have talked about how bad it was for the phillies but i never read anywhere criticism of dykstra s character or daulton s intelligence for that matter based on this incident i don t know what you were reading or watching but i sure saw a lot about that and about dykstra s poker games most of the writing was along the lines of how incredibly stupid and selfish it was and how he d hurt the team by wracking himself and the catcher up etc espn raised questions about his judgement etc the print media here in the sf area questioned why disciplinary action wouldn t be taken against dykstra and one article pointed out that if lenny wanted to kill himself there were ways that wouldn t endanger other people s lives then there was dykstra himself being quoted on how stupid it was etc mike disclaimer these opiini h h damn h h q w q wq wq d x exit x q c quitbye ctrlaltdel q q logout save quit quit zz zzzzzz vi man vi l c e x i t help helpquit d d man help c c e help exit quit q ctrlshftdel hey what does stop l a d
