Hank Aron that experienced real racism and hatred, fought it with class, dignity, grace unlike the frauds and phonies of the world “ Colin Kapernick”!
Quote:
Hank Aaron’s incredible talent on the baseball field was only matched by his dignity and character, which shone brightly, not only here in Cooperstown, but with every step he took,” said Baseball Hall of Fame Chairman Jane Forbes Clark.
“I think he’s getting a raw deal,” Aaron said. “I’ve been watching pro ball a long time, and if you look at all the quarterbacks in the league right now. I think you have to say he is 1-2-3-4...I don’t think anybody can do the things he can do. I just wish somebody would open up and give him a chance to do his thing and say hey, he’s entitled to whatever he did, and let’s forget about it. Let’s get on with it.”
In addition to vouching for his talent, Aaron also said he would love to see more players stand alongside Kaepernick in protest.
I'll go out on a limb and say that Trumpers (fast forward 40 years) were the ones who sent him death threats when he was about to break Ruth's HR record.

Seek help for your TDS. Off topic on a thread about a great man.
BTW it was 47 years ago that he broke the record. Long time.
Hank Aaron, was an athlete. You should compare him to the other athletes. You may not BE a racist, but when you type things like that, you'll have a hard time convincing many that you aren't.
RIP Hank. Hopefully others will respect his accomplishments as an athlete, and not everyone will only see him as a black guy.

What TDS?
OP brought up Kap, who was one of Lysol Man's more prominent fictional enemies, and I simply said that Aaron strongly supported Kap and the entire BLM movement.
If you supported Big Daddy Tariff, as OP did, then I'm not buying this revisionist history of calling him a "good and decent man".

Telemetry Downlink Severity......it's the series of signals outside the parameters that gives the range officer early warning that a destruct may be necessary.
(seems like a good, decent answer to me.......OH, YOU ASKED "WHAT"....not "what's".......never mind)
Sorry to hear of Mr. Aaron's demise, I remember the picture of him fishing on the back of a boat, when he broke the record, in an article about him.

I don't know what this means. It's probably for the best though.
