Cavalli racist… Hitting James Wood, not racist.
Do I think he was trying to be racist in the moment? No
Do I think he is racist based on his political leanings and the way “boy” naturally came from his mouth? Yes
Do I think Red Sox fans who said to hit James Wood, were saying they should throw at him cuz he’s not white? Fucking absolutely not, genuinely the most insane take I’ve heard from the pod.
What is going on in Coley’s brain to think that Sox fans who thought Cavalli was being racist actually think the solution to that would be to be racist back. If anything the suggestion would’ve been to throw at all of the white players on the team.
“We can’t throw at their best player cuz he’s not white”, is a ridiculous take and I struggle to believe that Coley actually thinks this. Seems to me he was just frustrated with the guys not agreeing that Cavalli was being racist so he went to hyperbole.
Either way fuck Cavalli. He’s racist and this discourse is enabling a lot of other racists to jump on his side and defend him.
