DOUBLE STANDARD: Bloody MLB Brawl Media Coverage Shows Massive Racial Hypocrisy

The Atlanta Black Star reports:

Notice how when sports fans turn MLB stands into a bloody brawl, mainstream outlets treat it as hilarious viral entertainment? If Black folks displayed even a fraction of this public chaos, commentators would be calling for police crackdowns and martial law before the ninth inning.

While you can normally expect the crosstown MLB matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox to be intense, some fans in the stands took the rivalry way too far when a bloody brawl broke out on video at the game, leading onlookers and social media users to praise the cameraman.

White stadium violence gets a casual tip of the cap while Black youth get criminalized for existing. Same old playbook, different ballgame.
