Well, when the name calling starts, that's the time for me to leave. To sum up, then: you think you're "doing something" by advocating for MLB to change the name of the MVP award. I, on the other hand, think that "doing something" means doing something that tangibly benefits the black community, and that "raising awareness" of Josh Gibson by naming an award after him is the equivalent of "sending thoughts and prayers" to the families of a mass shooting's victims. It's an empty gesture that primarily makes
you feel good about yourself while doing very little for the people that you are ostensibly trying to help. And why is it necessary to raise awareness of Josh Gibson anyway?
He's in the freakin' Hall of Fame! Didn't that raise enough awareness of him? And if not, then why do you think naming an award for him will make a difference?
Forget it, don't bother answering those questions. Like I said, I'm done here.
