I have a real, fundamental, actual pained problem with MLB’s usage of the verb “elevate” in regards to “status” re: the Negro Leagues.
that just flatly hurts my feelings as a black person nevermind a baseball fanatic.

I just dont understand how anyone could see that framing as remotely appropriate, nevermind accurate. I truly do not. Nor want to. Or will.

ancient african proverb: you cant just talk to black folks any old kinda way.
so often that’s what all this comes down to. Baseball or whatever it may be. It’s exhausting as hell to have to keep saying that

ever since I visited the Negro Leagues museum in KCMO, I’ve thought about this, deeply, every single day of my life and it genuinely actually really affects me https://twitter.com/gnu162/status/1339356401097977856
the only usage of the verb honor in the entire release from MLB today is in reference to something they already did in the past.
