WFAA Story - "Whites don't like Bonds" - WTF! - 08-08-2007, 10:01 PM


Just saw a WFAA story on TXCN, and the gist was that white folks don't like Bonds because white folks think he used steriods....

They then likened Bonds to O.J. Simpson.
Must be a SLOW news day in Dallas.

What abunch of bs. I dont like Bonds because he is an arrogant, self absorbed, sob. Not because of the color of his skin. I just hope A-rod can break Barrys record in a few years.

High-Yield Bonds to some

Speculative Bonds to others

Just plain "Junk Bonds" to me.



I don't like his attitude and personally think he juiced. "Hammerin'" Hank is still my man.

Not many seems to care for him. The guy that caught the HR ball was a Mets fan with his buddy a Yankee fan... how ironic. I'd sell that baby for some serious bucks!

So I guess Whites don't like Hank Aaron then, either.. for the same reason? What a bizarre story. I guess you can make statistics show anything you want them to... and find stories that might not always be there otherwise.

When Bonds came to Arlington for the first Interleague game several years back, a reporter asked Bonds what he thought of our Ballpark (which was fairly new at the time) and his response was something to the effect of "you'd think they could have a level field for all the money they spent" .... other comments he made about our fans couldn't be printed.

Well, while I don't care for a few of the later Bonds, I do like Sean Connery the best.

great now we know where the assignments editor for WFAA look when they need a racist story that is made to look like actual news.....

Maybe we can get KXAS to do a story on how the ABC affiliate makes up racist stories just to hack people like me off....

Hank Aaron, like Bob Wills and Elvis, is still the King! I wasn't real impressed with McGuire when he broke the record either. So I guess that means I not racist since I hate everybody.

Apaprently no one in baseball, including his team mates likes Bonds. Aaron summed it up best, he went to sleep before the home run was hit.
