Good point - that doesn't scream for attention at all.

 

Those are some serious quads for a chick

I would like to report this post for making me feel my ass is inadequate.. I was in a really good mood until I looked at that.. I feel the spiral of depression fast approaching.

[Spanky__99]

We know that this thread will end up deleted because we can't have adult conversations here. Here is a list of accomplishments of Rachel Luba:

 

Best arbitration record of any attorney the MLBPA has ever hired (12-10)

National champion in 2 sports (gymnastics and boxing)

Used a personal relationship with Trevor Bauer to represent him and essentially allow her to pick the agency of her choosing outside of Boras Corp...she chose to start her own. The nature of the relationship does not change anything nor do we know

Changed the way agents charge clients opening up opportunities for lessor paid sports to get represented. Also allowed her to sign Bauer as she is probably the only agent who will represent him the way he wishes.

 

She is attractive, one could argue the same for Casey Wasserman. But her look, her sex, or the nature of her photos don't change any of that. When it comes to baseball she is just an agent.

 

I have made misogynistic comments in my life and probably will again in the future. i hope that men and women will call me out on them as that is a positive change in our society which I happen to like

 

lol... I knew of her accomplishments, misogyny, give me a break.

 

By the way Hurl, I've been openly accused of being a racist/homophobe/misogynist/incel/and a gutter dweller... just saying???

[Spanky__99]

This usually doesn’t end well for you, just leave it:)

 

lol

Saying that her and Bauer have boned or calling her an attention "whore" are both pretty textbook examples of misogyny.

 

These are s***** things that women have to deal with. An attractive woman can't be a player agent without everyone assuming she gets her clients by f***ing them? This is a problem in lots of industries. Men typically don't have to deal with criticisms about sleeping their way into professional positions.

A woman who is committed to fitness can't be proud of her body in a modern way without a bunch of people calling her a "whore"?

 

lame as f***

[King]

People who repeatedly make racist, homophobic or misogynistic comments are those things, yes. You've checked all of the boxes in the past few weeks. Please be more self aware.

[Laika]

Basically, this board now belongs to us kids and we WILL achieve social justice for hot women.

Hey guys, there's a playoff game going on.

I commented on their past relations and their relations even now on social media, I added a joke, so what! I've never called her a whore, if you read back, I've said nothing but good about her, screw you f***s!

^^^^ Edit - and gals, I'm dead. We're watching Jim, we're watching.

[TheHurl]

Are you f***ed? If a man posted a picture of himself in a g-string having an outdoor shower, I 100% would call him an attention whore...especially if it was 1 of several of him wearing a speedo. Stop trolling you prick.

 

It isn't trolling. It is being an ally to women in sports. Calling out comments is okay. If you don't choose to listen to the comments that is okay too

[dineke]

No problem with her being a women or posting her ass on insta but the real question is are we allowed to make fun of gingers???

You take a shot at Spanky, don't contribute to the conversation and then ask for it to be deleted. If we can't work through this as adults then I will delete and give you your proper ban

maybe you shouldn't make so many assumptions.

The definition of 'attention whore' is a PERSON who behaves in a provocative, outrageous, or reprehensible manner in order to attract attention. It's your choice to associate the word 'whore' with a woman - not mine. Men and woman can both be attention whores (obviously). Men and women who post pictures of their ass in a thong on the internet do so for the attention it brings. She has SEVERAL provocative pictures and thus meets the very definition of an attention whore. The only argument is whether you find them provocative or not, but I'll render a guess that exactly 0 people have ever posted pictures of their ass on the internet without hoping for and expecting some attention.

 

This is the world we live in...you can't point out facts and use definition from Oxford Languages correctly without being attacked as being something you're not. THAT my friend, is lame as f***.

Or she was promoting a swimsuit line

Calling someone an attention whore in a derogatory and misogynistic manner and then pulling out the dictionary and saying "BUT WAIT - she is actually an attention whore" is, the definition, of lame. Sorry Brownie, but you're wrong for this one.

 

This attitude towards women in sports makes me sick to my stomach.

[TheHurl]

I knew we were ready for adult conversations. Will discuss with the other mods and decide how we move forward

I hope you puke

 

Just calling a spade a spade. Lots of people are attention whores. Bauer's an attention whore. Some attention whores I like, others I don't. I'm sorry if you feel as though by suggestion she is one that I'm setting the female movement within the sport back. That wasn't my intention. I actually suspect that being an attention whore is by design for her - as previously noted, that's part of how people brand themselves these days whether we like it or not.

99% of the prostitutes in the history of our world have been women. Whore is a gendered insult most commonly

levied at women.

 

If I called your mom a whore she’d be very insulted. If I called your dad a whore he’d probably be confused. You’re a joke if you can’t grasp this.

Today's culture... you're a villain(ad hominem), by a comment or default.

[King]

yeah she's an attention whore (is that disrespectful, or simply the truth?). Tight bod though, so I'm good with it.

 

Brownie, you are contradicting your initial comments. Suggesting she is an attention whore and objectifying her body is misogynistic and sets the sport back. Rachel should be celebrated for what she has done for women in sports - instead people like you and Spanky say that she is a f*** buddy of Bauers and that she is an attention whore. It's extremely disrespectful and wrong.

Social media has made almost everyone an attention whore in reality. I live for 'likes'

 

Problem is the term you used isn't really associated with men, but with the fairer sex. So it's use tends to promote a perception of women that is wrong.

 

Some will say this is politically correct culture run amok. But reducing the use of slanderous terms associated with certain groups is a good thing.

The incel attitude towards women needs to stop, Spanky. Hopefully one day you will learn.
