Back in the 1970s, bright white guys with no connections, like bean cannery night-watchman Bill James, started thinking harder than anybody else had ever thought before about the questions confronting baseball executives such as who to trade for which minor league prospects. There were increasingly few acceptable niches for white guys to hone their human pattern recognition skills, but baseball seemed like a Safe Space.
Nobody complained back when there was virtually no money in “sabermetrics” as the nerds developed their own intellectually exciting subculture.
But in the 21st Century, some of these nerds began to get hired for well-paid front office executive jobs by baseball teams to replace the baseball lifers who didn’t understand their new statistics.
That history has been celebrated in books and movies like Moneyball. But now we know better: the white nerds are bad guys. Why? Because, stupid, they are white. If whites were good, the New York Times would refer to them as Whites. But they don’t, so they aren’t. From the New York Times sports section:
Hailed as a Trailblazer, Kim Ng Stands Alone
Major League Baseball celebrated the hiring of a woman as a sign of progress on diversity in its executive ranks. Every comparable hire over the last two years has been a white man.
Thirteen people have been hired over the last two seasons to run the baseball operations of a front office: Chaim Bloom (Red Sox), Sam Fuld (Phillies), Chris Young (Rangers), Jed Hoyer (Cubs), James Click (Astros), Matt Arnold (Brewers), Dave Dombrowski (Phillies), Scott Harris (Giants), Ben Cherington (Pirates), Perry Minasian (Angels), Brian O’Halloran (Red Sox), Sandy Alderson (Mets) and Kim Ng. Ng, the general manager of the Miami Marlins, is the only woman and the only person of color in that group.
By James Wagner
Jan. 29, 2021, 4:01 p.m. ETKim Ng brought hope to baseball when the Miami Marlins hired her as the team’s general manager in November, making her the first woman and second person of Asian descent to run a major-league team’s baseball operations.
Shouldn’t “Hope” be capitalized when referring to actions that hurt white men?
In a sport dominated by men — specifically, at the top, by white men
The very worst kind of men, let me remind you.
— Ng symbolized the potential for change. The civil unrest of last year was bringing a reckoning on diversity to many industries around the country, and it looked as if that reckoning would include baseball.
If George Floyd’s death doesn’t lead to fewer white nerds getting hired by baseball teams, then the fentanyl-abusing retired-stick up man was just another low life who came to an unsurprising bad end. And that would be intolerable.
For the rest of Major League Baseball’s off-season, Ng has stood alone. …
Like other people of color around baseball, Stewart wasn’t surprised by the top executive hires this off-season. Their frustration arises from the continued lack of opportunities, especially after corporations around the United States pledged to tackle racial inequality following George Floyd’s killing while in Minneapolis police custody in May.
Only four heads of club baseball operations are identified as nonwhite by M.L.B.’s diversity goals — about 13 percent of M.L.B.’s 30 teams. They are Kenny Williams, who is Black, of the Chicago White Sox; Farhan Zaidi, who is of Asian descent, of the San Francisco Giants; Al Avila, who is Latino, of the Detroit Tigers; and Ng. That is a stark contrast to the demographics on the field, where 40 percent of major-league players are identified as nonwhite by M.L.B. — the majority of whom are Latino. …
Latinos of course contributed immensely to the development of sabermetrics, such as, uh, Guillermo Jaime and Natán Plata.

The highlight of the last twelve months in sports was definitely Kansas City Chiefs opener against the Texans. Before the game they had a ceremony of racial harmony with Mahomes and J. J. Watt right on the center of the field holding hands and the 15 000 fans they let sit in their seats booed the crap out of them. The look on Mahomes’s face was for the ages. He won the Super Bowl. He won the MVP. He signed a new contract for 500 million dollars. And the home town fans were booing the crap out of him.
Has anybody asked him about it?
Half.
At some point, can’t everyone agree to ignore the New York Time’s broken-record whining that there are just too many white guys around for its taste.
Isn’t the surname “Ng” kind of, well, triggering?
So, in “a sport dominated by men”, it is unusual to have men in charge…says who? Ok, now most importantly the reason andrew cuomo is not in the biden administration is because…dems don’t like him! Buffalo News, a former cuomo lap dog, has an Editorial today saying dems are tired of him. The State AG Letitia James, a black woman, says cuomo under counted Covid 19 deaths in NYS nursing homes by 40%, the News says 50%, all this against a background of his new book and an Emmy. Worth the read at Buffalo News.com.
Only zero heads of major media operations are identified as nonwhite by M.L.B.’s diversity goals. MLB still has a few non-jewish execs though.
So many fake Amerinds out there:

It like affirmative action is only a huge boosts when a white tries to claim it. It is very interesting that most or all of the people who pretend to be minorities are women. Perhaps these are people who would be natural expatriates, but America is a much better deal financially and socially (for women’s freedom and etc.) that they don’t actually leave and join another culture.
Also, how could anyone look at that woman and think ‘Native American’? Have they never seen a Mexican?

These programs pair up young college females (mostly White) with football players (mostly Black). These “hostesses” are instructed to “entertain” the players, take them to parties, and socialize with them.
These “hostesses” are recruited by college coaches and alumni, almost all of whom are White. Especially in the Southern SEC universities, these programs have been highly utilized to recruit top football prospects.
Perhaps not surprisingly, many of these “hostesses” have gotten raped over the years and then sued their universities.

The awkward fact is there hasn’t been much hostility or even mild joking/dissing, AFAICT, toward her from the increasingly genteel fan base (either nerd or non-nerd factions) over the past 10-15 years of her career, but the NY Times is trying to conjure something, anything into existence, and commence retconning.
Ng seems to have a model-minority personality type and there certainly isn’t an avalanche of women anxious to become MLB managers, last seen spitting and grabbing their crotches on TV camera feeds.
The Marlin’s drew a little over eight hundred thousand fans in 2019.
Hiring Ms. Ng is little more than a publicity stunt. Jeter will still be calling the shots.
It is an empty gesture sort of like Vanderbilt trotting out a female placekicker during a winless season.

Somewhat off-topic, but this does concern baseball. From 1906 to 1910, the devastating double-play combination of “Tinker to Evers to Chance” gave the Cubs four pennants and two World Series. This was immortalized in a famous poem. In the spirit of “refreshing” the traditional literary canon, to make it relevant: When you read the poem, for the refrain, substitute-in “Clyburn to Biden to Kam.”

The fascination with front offices I think blossomed when player contracts — salary, term, incentives etc — became mostly available to the public, not to mention the huge internet echo-chamber of trade rumors and speculation.

Not only are sabermetics nerds too white, but the entire discipline is structurally racist because their formulas will often extol the hidden value of some slow boring white guy like Mike “Human Rain Delay” Hargrove, over the value of some much more fast, athletic and powerful black or Latin player
All the talk of short squeezes got me to thinking. Something similar but not identical. If every institution in the United States wants to double the hiring and promotion of women, of blacks, of lgbtqs, of native americans, the demand would far exceed their respective proportions in the population, and all else equal, their wages would tend towards infinity. Latins though differ in the medium run – there is a reservoir of 700 million in Portugal, Spain, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America that we would draw in. I guess woke justice would count imported Canada First Nations as native americans, but their supply would be quickly exhausted. That would leave a country full of very rich women, blacks, lgbtqs, natives, a bitterly impoverished Latin majority, and a minority of white male slaves.
I’ve left out Asians. They’re oppressors, right? But also people of color. There are 4.7 billion of them. What to do? Bring them in to slot below the Latins to serve them and the higher classes, I suggest.
The other alternative is for protected classes not to magically advance each year and for HR departments to organize annual rituals bemoaning the persistence of systemic isms. The annual rituals would likely increase in desperate intensity, advancing to blood sacrifice of straight white male volunteers.

Read about the football "hostess" programs that exist in big universities.

These programs pair up young college females (mostly White) with football players (mostly Black). These "hostesses" are instructed to "entertain" the players, take them to parties, and socialize with them.
These "hostesses" are recruited by college coaches and alumni, almost all of whom are White. Especially in the Southern SEC universities, these programs have been highly utilized to recruit top football prospects.
Perhaps not surprisingly, many of these "hostesses" have gotten raped over the years and then sued their universities.

You mean “raped”.
Why? That’s obviously what sells newspapers.
Mark Spahn was attempting to be funny, but for those who don’t know, Bill James worked at the Stokley-Van Camp pork-and-beans cannery, despite having degrees in English, economics, and education from the University of Kansas and being an army veteran. Based on an article in one of his old baseball abstracts, it seems like he worked as a high school English teacher at some point.
Now, to me this raises a question. Why would someone with two degrees from a respected university as well as military experience be working as a night watchman at the local pork-and-beans cannery? That is a job for the local town retard. My hypothesis is that Bill James is so unpleasant as a human being that others can’t stand being around him for any length of time. Therefore, he is basically unemployable. Thankfully for him he managed to find his niche, but it seems like even in his time in baseball, he has managed to work only full-time for the Red Sox, and that was remotely from Kansas, which lends credence to my hypothesis.
Whenever an article claims some vibrant POC brought ‘hope’ to some organization or institution, what they mean is it brought hope to people who actually don’t have any interest in what the organization does, but want to tell it what to do anyway.
I very much doubt the ranks of MLB players were clamoring for female and Asian representation.
Here is a fact for Polistra: it seems like new Mets owner Steven Cohen has taken a bath on Game Stop, so much so that he has deleted his Twitter account. Remember, he bought the team from Fred Wilpon, who lost money through Bernie Madoff.
Frankly, while I usually appreciate Mr. Sailer’s remarks, his insensitivity here and especially his lack of appreciation for all the contributions that Asian women have historically made to baseball make me want to THROW UP!
Why?
In other news, BLM now has the inside track for a Nobel Peace Prize, and when they win that will mean that every negro in your 'hood has the right to command you as they see fit. Sort of like now, but with extra decoration. A boost to their entitlement mentality, you might say.

I wonder how the celebrations during the ceremony will go. When Martin Loofah Kink went over to Oslo, there were several incidents, including “Dr.” Kink hisself staggering theough the halls of his luxury hotel, drunk off his ass, yelling and shouting.
A more serious kerfuffle involving newly crowned Nobel “winner” “Dr/Reverend” Love, Peace, and Bacon Grease and his merry men occurred when some of the kneegarows hooked up with Norwegian hookers in the hotel. One of them supposedly ripped off one of the kneegarows (some say Kink’s own brother, another “reverend”) and the cops were called. Kink’s ghey henchman Bayard Rustin quieted things down by threatening to cry “racism” and the whole thing went down “de ol’ rabbit hole”.

This is on top of the 650,000 Metis who sued the government of Canada so that they, too could be recognized as Indians.
Indians are so mistreated in Canada that everyone wants to be one.

Just yesterday I was doing research on my wife’s ancestry to establish the link to the putative Indian ancestor.
A few years ago the Cherokee Indians began to see a revenue stream from their new Casino. They responded by kicking out all the black descendants of Indian slaves, blacks who moved to Oklahoma with their Indian masters on the Trail of Tears.
A similar thing is occurring in Canada. There were plenty of Eastern Siberians who procreated with French, and their descendants want to be considered Siberians, too, like the Metis in Manitoba. The Metis see this as interlopers trying to cash in on "their" money.Replies: @ben tillman

Why watch? Find something better to do with your time. Everyone can always improve something about themselves, teach themselves something interesting and useful. Your brain goes into neutral watching TV. Viewing rubbish filled with 1/2 breed losers and semi-literate savages should send off signals in your brain that white people need not participate.

It is interesting that when whites claim to be minority x (but not when men claim to be of the minority ‘women’) the minority identity is a big part of why they got whatever opportunity, but it is vile racism to think that an actual minority x gets a similar opportunity, it is because they are a minority.
It like affirmative action is only a huge boosts when a white tries to claim it. It is very interesting that most or all of the people who pretend to be minorities are women. Perhaps these are people who would be natural expatriates, but America is a much better deal financially and socially (for women’s freedom and etc.) that they don’t actually leave and join another culture.
Also, how could anyone look at that woman and think ‘Native American’? Have they never seen a Mexican?

I’m a big fan of his writings, so I’ve read and watched interviews with him. He chose to work there because he didn’t feel like getting a Phd, and it gave him the free time to work on sabermetrics. And he admits that he can be unpleasant. He jokes “people like me don’t have mentors, they have parole officers.” And his early books had lines like “Doug Flynn is a horrible excuse for a major league player” and he wonders why Flynn was angry with that. James said “it had nothing to do with him as a person.”
A similar phenomenon in football is the fascination with offensive and defensive coordinators. When the giants of old prowled the sidelines -- Stram, Landry, Lombardi etc -- you never heard boo about these assistants. Now there's an obsession with hiring these alleged geniuses and comparing the success of coordinators who served under Walsh vs. Belicheck etc, like competing schools of philosophy or economicsReplies: @ben tillman, @Paperback Writer
Dunno nothing about football, but about baseball, I’m old enough to remember the era before free agency.
You didn’t really need a front orifice then, did you?
Well, in baseball, the Pirates have recently hired a new front office, manager etc that will usher in “a new era” and that probably will be front men and sacrificial offerings to revolting fans in a few years. The owner appears to be happy to live off the welfare doled out by the wealthy teams and spending as little as possible on the team and pocketing the rest – so he can build new lifts at his ski resort etc. The only thing is; that even if he spent every penny on the team it wouldn’t get much better. I hear the Dodgers spend about $20 million/year to just beat all the bushes and turn over every rock on the Earth to find overlooked players; whereas the Pirates’ entire roster makes about 4 times that figure. Just in the past month the Pirates traded their 2 best pitchers admittedly only 3-5 slot pitchers at best but you can imagine what the rest of them are like – hovering on the edge of bumhood. And at best they have 2 decent hitters so that if teams really want to humiliate them they can just walk them at every at bat and strike out the rest – every game will be like 15 to 1. At this point it really doesn’t even make sense to draft good players because they will never get a critical mass of talent to go anywhere.
It’s funny but the owner constantly says they want to win a World Series. That’s like a 5’3″ , 120 lb man getting a fight with Mike Tyson and saying “I really want to win!!” It may be true but it’s either idiotic or a scam of some kind.
I have repeatedly suggested they legally move to Washington Pa. and rename the team “The Generals” which would be fitting. They never take me up on it.
Oh and by the way pretty consistently they are given a 0.3% chance of winning a World Series. So they can expect to win a Series once in the next about 300 years.
The Indians are sensitive about who gets the Gibs.

Oops, someone forgot to say “inequity”. Perhaps the NYT editors were asleep at the switch.
"A brilliant (indeed, Nobel Prize-winning) concept made unbearably tedious by endless case studies. Kahneman going on for over 400 pages about his two systems reminded me strongly of Bernard Shaw's comment on Darwin:
"If very few of us have read The Origin of the Species from end to end, it is not because it overtaxes our mind, but because we take in the whole case and are prepared to accept it long before we have come to the end of the innumerable instances and illustrations of which the book mainly consists. Darwin becomes tedious in the manner of a man who insists on continuing to prove his innocence after he has been acquitted. You assure him that there is not a stain on his character, and beg him to leave the court; but he will not be content with enough evidence to acquit him: he will have you listen to all the evidence that exists in the world."Replies: @Anonymous
This is why it’s recommended to read the 1st edition of Darwin’s book rather than the later ones. The 1st edition is much shorter and simpler. In the later ones Darwin gets bogged down refuting all of his critics and their arguments. This adds nothing of value and just wastes the reader’s time.
Thanks.
