American Pharoah's work (and the PC Police)
Here's the actual work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQdc...ature=youtu.be
Now the article about it that caused some lame drama: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ta-anita-drill Now I'd love to talk about his work solely because wow, but the fun part comes after you read the article. Turns out some folks apparently paid less attention to American Pharoah's amazing work and got all hung up on the use of the word "victim" by Baffert. The author of the BH piece, Jeremy Balan later responded: @BH_JBalan: "Those criticizing Baffert for using the word “victim” need to lighten up a bit..." @BH_JBalan: "... It was a joke, and he immediately corrected with a better word. God forbid anybody have a personality." Then of course the cranky PC police got madder right back at Jeremy. Guys, I dunno if you've noticed, but people on the internet can be super touchy and opinionated. |

Because he quit.

Really? Sure seems like there is much more to the story.

Why, because people on social media say so?

The tone of what he tweeted seemed the way people talk when they get let go from an online media outlet (like Buzzfeed layoffs, etc) as opposed to quitting to the point that I had to re-read and wonder what happened. Might not've read the way he meant, maybe it did, I dunno. If he quit on principle for some reason, that'd explain it.
I really don't remember the original post yet I apparently made it. Huh. I assume it came up on a search for Jeremy's name but honestly it could've been in its own thread. It really has nothing to do with American Pharoah. People will click on it out of confusion more than anything. |

Sorry for the confusion, but as y'all know, I'm confused a lot.
