An APOTO roundtable on the Mets’ firing of Jared Porter

Linda: Baseball has a serious culture problem. We’ve seen it. We’ve acknowledged it and yet nothing changes. Porter is the latest flashing light on the marquee advertising “there is no place for you here.” This whole offseason has been reporters bemoaning the fact they have to vote for Omar Vizquel despite the fact he is a domestic abuser. They write articles about it, make TV appearances about it, which makes it all about a privileged man and how awful it is for them instead of a victim who suffered at the hands of her husband. It’s Fantatics advertising they have nice, shiny new Lindor jerseys and none available in women’s sizes.
