As a Yankees fan: they're the lesser of two evils.

wow that is my exact feeling I guess I’m not the only one who feels Astros need to disappear
From bad to worst it’s: dodgers , red sox, then astros
In other news I’m so happy the braces walked off the dodgers twice in a row

I get sox and astros but why the hate towards the dodgers?

2nd and 3rd, no outs, down 4-2 and he strikes out the next 3.
Looks like ATL is going to do it this time.

Whether it is or isn't racist, it's hypocritical that MLB forced Chief Wahoo and Indians out and not the Chop and Braves. Just make an across the board policy and deal with the fallout.

"Which is, of course, something destined to go away, like the former Washington Football Team name, the Chief Wahoo logo and countless other examples of Native American imagery in sports. It's what made the position of the commissioner, Rob Manfred, so perplexing. To see him try to explain why MLB was backing the chop was to see an anthropomorphic pretzel twisting itself in real time."

Exactly.

What don't some understand about "end of story"?

“The Native American community in that region is fully supportive of the Braves’ program, including the chop,” Manfred said before Game 1 of the World Series. “For me, that’s kind of the end of the story.”

just to be the devils advocate- maybe the argument is who gave that region the right to ‘represent’ the native Americans all over? If another region finds it offensive then what?

I can't imagine why the local tribes changed their tune after getting paid off. But thankfully that's the end of the story.

Bases loaded, two outs and pitcher due up. This is why you should not have a DH!!!
Oh and he grounded out.
