I think that we should be able to have virtual barstool debates about players' effort, or lack thereof, without insinuations that someone may be racist.

Look at Juan Soto's tape from May and June, after he signed a guaranteed $765 million contract. I don't think it's unfair to say that he looked either very slow or lazy. If PCA played like that, fans would also call him either very slow or lazy.

I agree. The last thing we need on this forum is race baiting remarks.

False alarm. Nobody is race baiting.
