Having college students compete in halftime contests like football throwing challenges or shooting half court shots to win tuition money and avoid crippling amounts of student debt is some extremely dark stuff.

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for baseball on twitter. It sucks to see racist and homophobic language coming from inside our league - a league I’m so proud to be a part of that I’ve worked really hard to make a more accepting and inclusive place for all our fans to enjoy.

Bear with me, but it feels like we've zoomed past the most important aspect of any MLB restart plan: health protections for players, families, staff, stadium workers and the workforce it would require to resume a season. Here are some things I'll be looking for in the proposal. .

This is really frustrating. A month after MLB’s report and all we have now is more evidence and more questions. So it wasn’t entirely player-driven? This came from up top? The integrity of the game is at stake and players and fans deserve some answers.

It’s a privilege to play in the major leagues and we have an obligation to leave the game better than we found it. There’s no place for racism, insensitive language or even casual homophobia. I hope we can learn from this and make the MLB a place where all our fans feel welcome.

Hey @Reds fans! I’m new here. A little bit about me: I’m a left handed pitcher, I’m a little socially awkward, I like to read 🤓, we have a dog named Fee, and I’m scared of spiders. I hope we can be friends because I’m really excited to come to Cincinnati and join your team!.

As a white person, racism isn’t something I’ll ever experience. We have a responsibility to listen to black people, to get educated, and use our white privilege to amplify the black community’s calls for justice. Here is a thread of resources we can use to become better allies.

Homophobic slurs are still used to make people feel soft or weak or otherwise inferior - which is bullshit. Some of the strongest people I know are from the LGBTQIA community. It takes courage to be your true self when your identity has been used as an insult or a pejorative.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I brought these things up because I want to play. I want there to be a season. And I want everyone to be as safe as possible. The sooner we figure these things out, the better chance we have to resume the 2020 season.
The Nationals have also not received the PPE gear they were suppose to have, Doolittle said. This includes: . N -95 masks.gloves. Coupled with testing delays, this is not good.

One thing about my job that I’m grateful for (there are many) is the opportunity to experience so many different places during the season. Once a road series I try to get out & explore the city we’re in. This year my goal is to make it to an indie bookstore in each city we visit.

PSA for Nats fans: I’m changing my number to 63. Earlier this spring I left the team for a week to attend to a family emergency. 63 carries a special significance for me and my family so I’ve switched my number as a tribute to them, to acknowledge their love and support.

The answer isn’t for athletes to leave social media. Social media can be great for an athlete. I met my wife on twitter (long story). It helps athletes share their stories and personalities and connect with their community. Besides, it’s not like you can accidentally post a slur.

It can be tough for athletes to understand why these words are so hurtful. Most of us have been at the top of the food chain since HS, immune to insults. When all you’ve known is success and triumph it can be difficult to empathize with feeling vulnerable or marginalized.

Major props to Mike Fiers and Carson Smith for coming forward to talk about sign stealing allegations. There’s been suspicion of this stuff for years but pitchers were hesitant to talk about it bc they didn’t want to sound crazy or make excuses. Now we might have some evidence.
