Isn’t it against the law to hire someone using religious preference as a determining factor? ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] Isn’t it against the law to hire someone using religious preference as a determining factor? [/QUOTE] Hence why they use “moral character” preference. :dubious: Same thing as when the Republican candidates pander to the “values groups” which are really “brimstone and hellfire” voting blocs. It’s not undue influence of the church on the state, it’s just “values voters” demanding to have their candidates bend over and lube up for “family values”, since you can’t argue against “the family” any more than you can argue against “moral character”. ---

In one corner, we have the Red Sox. To add to the loathing I feel for the team, it turns out that Guiliani will be rooting for the Red Sox. Guiliani, a supposed Yankee fan! It’s not like he was going to get my vote, but now more than ever before I want to see him run under a truck. In the other corner, we have the Rockies, who it turns out believe Christian ‘values’ make one a better person, an attitude which has been disproven time and time again, and which I despise. Good thing the baseball season ended October 8 and the World Series was cancelled once the Yankees were eliminated. ---

You know, I thought I did a pit thread about this last year when it first came out, but I can’t find it. Old news, but that doesn’t invalidate the OP. I still hope they win, but they’ll do it without me spending any money on tickets or paraphernalia, I probably won’t even watch the games. ---

How many times do I have to say that my issue is not players or coaches believing in God? It’s a front office institutionalizing it on a team and then going around saying how morally superior they are because of it. 3-0 Sox in the 1st. Ha! ---

[QUOTE=KSO] Anybody know why Joe Buck is babbling on about Richard Dreyfuss being in the back yard? [/QUOTE] I was paying attention the whole time and don’t know what the hell he was talking about. Those two make me wish I knew Spanish so I could use the SAP option. Who exactly thinks they deserve to be on the air at all, let alone doing the Series?
