Members Pete1111 Posted 22 hours ago Members Posted 22 hours ago I have a specific question about the meme below. This meme has been floating around since the MAGA crowd has voiced anger that Bad Bunny will perform during halftime of the Super Bowl, the championship game of American NFL football. It says, "if it hurts you that I will play at the Super Bowl, put Vicks on and that's it" or something like that. I have a hunch where it is the meme refers one might plop a dollop of Vicks. 😃 Does anyone else know? Any Vicks experts here? 😉 Quote

Anyone care to explain that to me??? All the hoopla is just pure racism, and HIS performing at the SB is contrary to the MAGA narrative of having a pure WHITE America. Pure and simple.... The meme suggests VICKS will take away your pain..... Quote

PeterRS Posted 56 minutes ago Posted 56 minutes ago 6 hours ago, Keithambrose said: And they provide a lot of players to Major League Baseball! Surely this illustrates the blatant hypocrisy with so much of the MAGA crowd. Basketball would be a third tier sport without all the black Americans and non-Americans playing in the sport. Remember all the hooplah about Linsanity, the Taiwanese Jeremy Lin who set New York alight for a season or two? And the much better Chinese Yao Ming who became a national figure? Baseball likewise where Japan has started to feature. I can remember all the razzmatazz when the ultra cute ichiro Suzuki left Japan and became one of the early Japanese players in the major league. He joined the Seatle Marriners in 2001. Known simply by his first name Ichiro, Suzuki featured on the cover of TIME. He is regarded as one of the sport's greatest ever ball hitters. Before Ichiro, the pitcher Hideo Nomo was also lured to America in 1995. He became the first ever no-hitter to play at Denver's Coors Park, an extremely difficult pitching field because of the city's elevation. And more recently Shohei Ohtani has lit up the Los Angeles Dodgers seasons since 2018 even though his first seasons were plagued by injury. For 2023, he was paid US$30 million, then a new record for a player in his third season. His present contract is for $700 million over 10 years. So much for white American MAGA ideals! And while on the subject of sport, why is it that the end of the baseball season is called the World Series? It has nothing to do with the world! It is exclusively American. What about the Canadians, Central and South American nations, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, all of whom have major national baseball leagues of their own? At least MAGA can't be blamed for that as it has been going for 102 years! Definitely time to change the name! Quote
