There was a free preview to DirecTV’s “Extra Innings” MLB access channels which we have been taking advantage of over the last few nights. The preview is over now, but we got to see some pretty good games.
Last evening, Damsel and I watched the baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Oakland A’s. The broadcast originated in Oakland, but the sportscasters were with the Yankee organization, so the broadcast and the commercials shown were intended for New York’s fans.
We watched several games, but never saw this TV spot until last night. We’re sure glad that we live in a place where this sort of spot never has to be televised.
Well, I want to start by having people look at this quote from Jesse Jackson about 18 years ago in which he says, [“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery … then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”] Jesse Jackson is saying this. In other words, if the people he looked at were black, he would feel anxiety or fear.
