Vin Scully talks politics

[m0nkey]

Maybe the only broadcaster in sports that can get away with giving his views for 20 seconds. I'm assuming he's not feeling the bern http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/vin-scully-has-strong-feelings-about-socialism-1782196988

   No, you both are horribly wrong.. We've already been socialist for as long as I can remember. America is Socialist, hidden under the ruse of a Capitalist/modern white Caste system. Sure If you use the worst case scenario for your example, like a dictatorship, then sure its terrible. Third world countries are poor for a reason and its not because their ideas are bad, it's their leadership is corrupt. Socialism brought you everything you don't do yourself. The law, the IRS, the court systems. state construction, Medicare, the VA, School system, the Prison system, the EPA, Postal system,PBS, Fire and Police departments, the Military, CIA, FBI, CDC, vaccines, WIC, Fema, Amtrak, metro Buses, OSHA, any Public or state run parks/dams/museums/beaches etc, the roads you drive on and the list goes on and on and on. The most intriguing ones are business subsidies and business welfare are provided from our taxes. If you vote for Anyone other than Bernie Sanders, you are woefully ignorant to reality and don't think things through or just plain wealthy enough to be that ignorant and don't care about anyone else but yourself. He might not be the most charismatic person but he certainly won't lie to your face and laugh about it to their rich friends when the door hits your ass on the way out. PS, this election was fraudulent and stolen right out from under those people that should have been fighting a lot harder and longer then we were for this.

I hate this thread so much already. Sure do love Vin Scully though.

Death would come to get Vin.  And Vin would tell him a story about death.  Death would walk away empty handed, but feeling really good about himself.

[tdawg87]

I'm pretty sure he'd just be bored out of his mind.

I loved it when he referenced Ali's famous line: " Move like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

Scully: On a bright, sunny summer day at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn in 1954, an unknown young outfielder took the field for the very first time...

Grim Reaper: Never mind, I'll come back later.

Now that I've heard from Vin Scully and Scott Baio I can anxiously await word from Debbie Gibson.

Now I know why my 95 year old grandmother is still alive and kicking. Death is a quitter.

67 years on the job, Hall of Fame career and loved by most baseball fans earns you the right to give zero f***s.

Actually, Death would come to get Vin, but Vin would call him Dearth. Death would try to correct Vin, but Vin would start to tell him various Ebbets Field plays made in the 50's. Death would throw his hands in the air in frustration and leave muttering to himself.

There was a classic Twilight Zone episode with a similar theme, although it was a salesman, not a sportscaster.
