I don't know anyone that wishes the term be used for them.

As someone who works in a field where this is a topic of conversation, I can assure you that 95 percent of Latino folks despite the term.

I was trying (and struggling) to think of the last Orioles player who would have scored from first on that Santander grounder just inside the third base bag. I was even going back to Eric Davis… or Alan Wiggins. That was impressive.

No one seems to know.

One theory is it came from the Latin LGBTQ community as it is a non-gendered term.

a 2021 Gallup poll shows only 4% of the Hispanic community uses the term.

I feel like it’s more likely it came from the white LGBTQIA community. But yea, everyone Latino person in my life rolls their eyes at it.

I mentioned this in the game thread but I learned today that the Hangout wants Mateo replaced because of racism.  Who knew?

I know we're moving on, and so be it, but I saw that on twitter and wanted to comment.

Thank you for standing up for Tony and the Oh.

But could you have done it without referring to yourself as the "highest profile poster" from the OH?

That appears to be wrong.  But we should get off this non-baseball topic anyway. 

Good to see Mateo’s wheels in good working order today.

I have no problem using inclusive language but the term "Latinx" is not consistent with how words in the Spanish (or Portuguese) language are constructed.  The term "Latine" is also inclusive and is linguistically idiomatic.

Felix Pie?  Brady Anderson?

It was a impressive run.  I dont think more than five or six guys playing today could do it as well.

Ham Bone?  Probably if your using the version before he got injured.   He was quite a talent.

[Tbone83]

Such an exciting play, couldn't believe they waved him in but it wasn't even that close. Dude is such a burner.
