in for derek jeter :mjgrin:

i'm not sure what you mean by "do so well" with Jeter. he is universally accepted as one of the greatest baseball players of all time due to his performance. it's not a subjective accolade lol

There are much better baseball players who don't get the same amount of endorsements and acclaim.

Derek Jeter
The Rock
Drake
etc

They are so good at playing that racially ambigious card that I don't even think of them as black. I guess cacs have the same type of thought process and don't see them as black they see them as Derek Jeter and the Rock.
They also happen to be very good at their craft. None of the people you mentioned got successful due to being racially ambiguous. They’re very talented in their own right. And yes that includes Drake.

The Rock and Vin Diesel are very palatable for white audiences and they don’t stir the racial pot. The Rock will speak up on some “let’s all just come together” sh*t but he never directly confronts white supremacy. In fact, the Rock is an honorary “bro duuuuuude” to me.

Jeter had to actually utilize his skills for 20 years so being racially ambiguous wasn't gonna help him on the field.

And it was widely accepted that there were players in HIS ERA like A-Rod who were light years ahead of him as far as talent was concerned.

But, Jeter was more calculated when it came to his image and working the media. He was out there living his life while ARod let you know he was fukking hoes left and right and even had them pull up to the damn game.

- Significantly better hitter to all parts of the park
- More power
- Home run power
- Read pitches extremely well
- 40/40 club member
- much better shortstop but had to defer when he came to NY and then excelled at 3rd
- Stronger arm
- Great baseball IQ
- And his hoe roster is only rivaled by Jeter’s
