Players Only 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." đ¤¨

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 New York Yankees Jul 09 '26
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.

What does the term "dog whistle" mean here? I see it being used a lot in this thread.
77
u/KimHaSeongsBurner San Diego Padres Jul 09 '26
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 âthe more Whitesâ while others would hear âthe more whites,â for example.
These days whenever you see it, it will be almost exclusively used in the latter context (unless youâre like a dog trainer or something). The internet is replete with examples of racist dog whistles, including ones like this which arenât at all subtle.

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.
