Any other teams I'm missing? Probably waiting for the Cubs job to open up so he doesn't have to uproot his whole family. I don't think he is long for the org after this.

I don't know why he continues to work in Chicago honestly. Anyone who works for someone else isn't fully in charge. Wherever RH would go... he still has a boss. JR gives as much space as anyone but he does own the team and still, he reports to a board. Life is full of those little irritations.

Saufley Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) This young team is good and will hopefully get better. If they win it will be in spite of JR and Kenny. Hopefully this move will not divide and destroy the team. Hoping for a big 2021! But, I just can't watch this news conference anymore.

He basically said the events of 2020 have changed his views on kneeling during the anthem and that he'd be okay with it. Then he went even farther and said he's not racist cause he's managed black players in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll moderate the views he stated before (when there were literally zero stakes). I doubt he has interest in igniting a firestorm over this.

Saying he "doesn't have a racist bone in his body" and naming a bunch of black guys was pretty weird, but he said he supports the player's decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 He basically said he's changed his stance on kneeling for the anthem. If players are sincerely protesting peacefully, he has no problem with it. He also listed a number of black players he's managed that can vouch for him not being a racist. Which apparently, according to people on this board, is bad to say. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
