It sounds like the fellow in Denver may have been yelling “Dinger,” not what folks originally heard, at least to many who listen. MLB has been looking into it but so far no one nearby said they heard a racial epithet. So that may actually be positive news.

if you look closely he was trying to get the attention of “Dinger” the Rockies mascot. //

The mind has a way of hearing what you tell it to hear. There are many mind-twisters where a piece of audio is played and subtitled in a way that makes you hear something that it’s not actually saying. //

Because of the similarities between the n-word and the name Dinger, it was easy for people to trick themselves into hearing what they wanted to hear, not what was actually being said. That’s why those in the crowd didn’t hear the n-word. They were not predisposed to hear it so they heard the actual word, in this case, Dinger.

But woke-ism is a disease, and that means they will never admit this was yet another made-up racial incident. Instead, they’ll keep doubling down because, in their eyes, racism is everywhere and is part of everything. It’s a really sad existence when you think about it.
