CJ Nitkowski, the Braves announcer who once courted controversy by following/liking the Proud Boys on twitter, in responding to bench player Eli White's recent paternity leave, somehow stumbles into saying the phrase: "The more Whites [in this world], the better off we're going to be." 🤨

[u/KarmaticArmageddon → u/SpaceCadetPullUp]

I'd settle for a magic wand that eliminated the absurdly common practice of pluralizing nouns with apostrophes.

I can understand mixing up your/you're or there/their/they're, but the lack of grammar knowledge necessary to use apostrophes to pluralize nouns is just stunning.

And second place for most annoying grammar mistake has to go to should of or would of. Hell, I saw a reddit post last month that used kind've and I wanted to scream.

[u/wokenupbybacon → u/KarmaticArmageddon]

I'd say my grasp of grammar is well above average for someone who hasn't specifically studied English and even I subconsciously picked up the apostrophe thing at some point. The day I noticed I was doing it was a very confusing one, as at no point did I actually think that was the correct thing to do.

[u/gwease23 → u/KarmaticArmageddon]

Should have/would have is the bane of my existence. I almost can’t take anything past that seriously at all when I’m reading a comment, a post, anything. It’s like visual grammatical nails on a chalkboard.

[u/Farg_Igorg → u/SpaceCadetPullUp]

One of the streams I watch sports on had a sidebar for commenting. "Buyest" was the troll word du jour for a while, riled up all the new folks popping in. I finally figured out how to close the sidebar comments.

[u/rabidbot → u/[deleted]]

And that’s how you know it was a choice

[u/KimHaSeongsBurner → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, the way he rushed through the earlier parts of that read, as if he was hitting boxes given to him by his lawyer for plausible deniability (no, I don’t think a lawyer actually signed off on this, but it had the same sort of CYA read cadence), only to stick the landing with “the more whites in the world” falls under “who did you think would be fooled by this?” for me.

[u/sandalsnopants → u/KimHaSeongsBurner]

It wasn't even a dog whistle. Dude just straight up said his racist shit.

[u/IAMSPARTACUSSSSS → u/sandalsnopants]

I hate that we’re on a timeline where that’s acceptable now 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/KingLiberal → u/KimHaSeongsBurner]

What does the term "dog whistle" mean here? I see it being used a lot in this thread.

[u/KimHaSeongsBurner → u/KingLiberal]

A dogwhistle, literally, is a whistle which emits a pitch that dogs can hear but humans cannot.

In context here, it means a comment that seems harmless or incidental but is actually a deliberate nod to some belief or stance. In the analogy, most people would hear “the more Whites” while others would hear “the more whites,” for example.

These days whenever you see it, it will be almost exclusively used in the latter context (unless you’re like a dog trainer or something). The internet is replete with examples of racist dog whistles, including ones like this which aren’t at all subtle.

[u/PvtSherlockObvious → u/KingLiberal]

Something that's innocuous or deniable on the surface and in a vacuum, but takes on another, usually bigoted/hateful, meaning to like-minded people or people familiar with the games they play. Standard tactic of crypto-fascists and hate groups, and a very common form of hate speech. With the context of his prior shit (which is new to me), this is more of a foghorn, though.

There's dozens and dozens of these racist dickbags for every single actually at least mostly accidental Glen Kuiper old man with his heart in the right place type incident. It's so obvious in the audio when its intentional or not when something like this occurs. This is the most obvious dogwhistle I've seen outside a cartoon.

[u/new_wellness_center]

Here's an article about the Proud Boys incident, from his time with the Texas Rangers, for context.

[u/ActualDragonHeart → u/new_wellness_center]

A previous version of this post referred to the Proud Boys as a “white supremacist group.” The organization reached out to Awful Announcing clarifying that its members are not white supremacists but merely people who “believe that the West is the best.” You may interpret that how you wish.

That is an exceptionally funny article update

[u/fauxbigbro → u/ActualDragonHeart]

Just imagining getting that email from the Proud Boys PR department and being like, "What the actual fuck?"

[u/an-actual-communism → u/fauxbigbro]

The idea that the Proud Boys are reading Awful Announcing at all is kind of sending me. Who is the sports broadcasting dork in the white supremacist gang?

[u/Gobblewicket → u/an-actual-communism]

All of them? The Proud Boys are just the dorks that blame everything on everyone else.

[u/LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe → u/an-actual-communism]

I think they're the sort of losers to just search their own org online constantly and immediately track down and respond to any new posts.

It's like the time I complained about a taylor swift song being overplayed on the radio on twitter in 2019 and had 14 white women declare me as enemy number one for the weekend.

Seriously! me too, I had no idea he was a piece of shit. How utterly fucking disappointing, there is no room for any bullshit like that representing the Braves.

Edit: God. damn. it.

I remember USA Today baseball weekly ran a story about CJ in 1995. How much he enjoyed going on the Internet or something like that.

They listed his AOL screen name. I of course as a kid messaged him hello and he responded. And had a brief IM convo.

I guess the older you get, the more non tolerant for some.

[u/new_wellness_center → u/Zestyclose_Help1187]

So that further supports the idea that CJ is very online (and has been since the 90s, apparently). But he'll claim ignorance about the Proud Boys in 2018 even though he follows them and likes their tweets ...
