Well, at least the storyline in this World Series won’t be old school vs. new school. It’ll be which city is more racist.

All: The old-school vs. new-school thing was playing on stereotypes, and the which-city-is-more-racist thing is doing the same. Joke. Chill.

Though I’m not sure I see the point in telling readers to take their calm-the-fuck-down-pills after a writer (in this case, Passan) has been deliberately provocative, the real cop out isn’t the disclaimer. It’s that Jeff Passan still hasn’t told us which city is more racist.
