The article discusses the resurgence of the derogatory term ‘R word’ in public discourse, highlighting its insensitivity, especially to those with intellectual disabilities. It then shifts focus to updates on the Chicago Cubs, including thrilling moments in the Dominican Republic, the influence of park factors, and the dynamics of new networks and old friendships within the team.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
It’s disheartening to see offensive language reemerging, particularly words that demean individuals with intellectual disabilities. While the insights on the Cubs are appreciated, blending such a deeply personal, painful social issue with baseball updates feels somewhat disjointed. Addressing offensive language’s rebirth alongside team news may work better in separate articles to give both topics the weight they deserve. On a technical note, facilitating an online community for fans and families dealing with such insensitive remarks could create supportive environments that empower and educate.
