Yes, that's entirely plausible. Because, as you have so clearly demonstrated for us, people are willing not just to condemn a person without evidence (or even, at this point, specific allegations), but to go a step further and invent the missing evidence out of whole cloth.

from the other idiotic comments by blockedbyjames and now this tattoo commentary.

Holy crap, lock this thread up too while we're at it. So much Blatant disguised racism.

Go take a tour of your closest prison if you don’t believe me. The rapper Short Dawg once summed it up nicely: “I’m tatted up everywhere except my hands, neck, and face. That way if I have to throw on a suit I still look like a businessman.”

Wow you keep showing your ignorance in this thread. Its pretty impressive.



(Btw I have tattoos on neck and hands )

How long were you in for?

[Gthompson1978]

I wish they would lock and delete all Wander threads and ban anyone that starts a new one.

I'd be on board with a moratorium on Wander talk, for sure.

Keep this thread - it's thoroughly epic!

Never thought I’d miss the circular rookie card arguments.

[Technochocolate]

To bring things back on topic:

2021 Bowman Heritage cards should be considered RCs for the 150 prospects included in that set, which would render dozens of newer RCs irrelevant.

[Archangel1775]

I just want to thank those posting about tattoos. I was just about to get one today but now I'm worried I might wake up tomorrow and kick a puppy. My soul is saved!!!

[21Pittsburgh58]

A puppy is not an adult and this IS the Wander thread soooo - approved

I told you that this thread is epic!

I mean there is some science about tattoos and criminal behavior. I'd go out on a limb and say that the rates would be even higher if focusing on neck tattoos

Man I’ve read some idiotic, simple-minded drivel on these boards over the years, but this tattoo “discussion” easily takes the cake.

Tell me you’re a sheltered, myopic, crusty old white guy without telling me you’re a sheltered, myopic, crusty old white guy.

Slide on your Depends and hit the sheets already.

Based on children detained in Taiwan. Funny enough, lots of police officers have tattoos. You want to walk up to one and tell them they are more likely to be a criminal because of those tattoos?

This has nothing to do with baseball cards and nothing to do with sports. If the allegations are true and Wander’s career is over, it won’t be because he had tattoos.

Man, if there was one thing this thread was missing, it's 9 year old data from Taiwan.

[MoreToppsPlease]

Tattooing does have a strong connection to prison culture, FWIW.

Always the same characters with the same thinly disguised racist/sexist takes in these kind of threads. Never fails!

We need some neck tattoo memes pronto!

You literally made my point. Of course criminals from the 1970s arent likely to have a career limiting tattoo as hardly anyone did. It’s not about having a tattoo it’s about having a career limiting tattoo on your hands, neck, or face. I have numerous tattoos but wasn’t ever dumb enough to put one on my face, neck, or hands. Unless you’re a tattoo artist, fast food worker, pro athlete, musician, or independently employed they’re most likely going to significantly hinder your future prospects and you’re too stupid to realize it. Go take a visit to your local jail or Parole/Probation Office and see for yourself.

Ask yourself an honest question:

What % of people with no criminal record have a tattoo on their face, neck, or hands?

What % of people with tattoos on their face, neck, or hands have a criminal record?

In '92 I got a spider web on my elbow from a guy just starting his shop. He even told me it was a bad idea. Shortly after I was harassed a few times about it and even got into a fight since I never did prison time. Now I laugh as I see pretty colorful ones on girls all the time.

Big difference between prison tattoos and professional done tattoos.

It's very easy to tell the difference as well
