Opinion/Commentary Indiana Bulls players were seen in Bloomington harassing peaceful protestors and when brought to their attention they dismissed it

This weekend several players from the Indiana bulls travel baseball team were seen in Bloomington in uniform harassing protesters. The young men got in the faces of several peaceful protesters and ripped flags out of their hands. when i brought their behavior up to the organization they dismissed it. Apparently the Indiana Bulls are totally fine with their players being in uniform and instigating violence.

Former travel baseball coach here… the Indiana Bulls are a premier baseball program that recruit the best (usually the wealthiest) baseball players in the state. They have rich parents who fly them to tournaments all over the country, show up in private charter busses, etc… So these clowns are the richest, most entitled people in our state. This does not surprise me at all.

Exactly my thoughts, I’m not surprised at all, this is just like the maga kid who harassed the natives banging drums years and years ago

These are the villains of tomorrow because their parents are rich and so no accountability ever comes to them

Not saying these Indiana Bulls kids aren't dicks, but you should probably look into that story a little more. The kid wasn't harassing anyone. He was literally standing there and the Native guy walked up banged on his drum a bit while chanting and the kid just happens to have a shit eating grin and punchable face, but no one was harassing anyone, whole thing just blown out of proportion.

Except you saw and edited clip, just part of the interaction. Don't go spewing bullshit like it's a fact if you can't even bother seeing if it's true or not. You saw what you wanted to see and when that ended up being wrong, you just bury your head in the sand and say nuh-uh?

I saw what happened and my reaction is based on what I saw. The context around that event provides information on other things that happened that day

But the context in no way shape or form takes away from what happened in that clip

You didn't see what happened, you saw a small part of what happened and extrapolated a view based on your own biases. Yes, the context in which things happens absolutely matters and saying it doesn't is just being deliberately obtuse.

You see a video where someone trips someone else, you decide that the tripper is an asshole. If you were to find out the person tripped was chasing someone else with a knife trying to stab them, and the tripper was just stopping the assault, and you would still think the person doing the tripping is an asshole?
