Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
So, we have all seen him, he definitely brings some color to the broadcast, anyway as his legend builds Andy Martino calls it out as problematic

Manhattan comedian Max Wiener is the guy. I should note that the moniker "Rally Pimp " wasn't his , fans started calling him that

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
I think Twitter fanbase behavior is more negative for the Mets image than a pimp.
Personally, I think the guy looks great

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
Right , it's a bit of fun, Martino went on to say it is " racist and cultural appropriation , quite the combo"
That statement seems very odd to me

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
Is the pimp more underworld than the protagonist of "Narco"?
Irony is fun in the micro, but it becomes problematic when it sneaks into mass culture, so it's maybe a conversation better had now, before this guy becomes tired but institutionalized.
I don't know. Is there an "I don't know" selection?

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
That guy's great. Problem? What's the problem? Here's an idea: Let's all buy a gazillion Snoop Dogg records and make him out to be a toally assimilated superduperstar with major corporate sponsors and a seat at the table and hero to millions.
Oh my. Some guy cheering on the Mets in tacky garish outfits is a problem. I'm hysterical.

I guess I see Martino's point, but I'm not going to spend a minute caring about this. I don't think this guy will inspire anyone to become a pimp.

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
Martino is right. Pimps are bad people who abuse women. They are not something we should be glorifying. We wouldn't celebrate a Rally Drug Dealer. He can wear whatever he wants, like any other fan. But we should not celebrate this.

You know what's a problem? That lame ass guy in the right field corner who's been doing a pathetic sign-man Karl Erhardt imitation for like 20 or 30 years with his lame ass 'We Believe" sign. How creative.

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
We should blame him for all the pimps in the world and then chop his head off. I agree with your entire post but the last sentence and have no idea what your post has to do with the new Mets rally guy.Bob Alpacadaca wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:47 am Martino is right.

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
I'm just finding out NOW!!! that the guy is called Rally Pimp. It didn't
even occur to me he was dressed like an early 70's movie pimp stereotype.
I just thought he was being a flamboyant assclown or something.

I suppose the "woke" thing to do would be to change his name to Rally Flamboyant Assclown.
(Of course, actual flamboyant assclowns might be offended.)

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
I think -- but am not sure -- "rally pimp" was a name given to this fella by the fans and not named as such himself. he could just have a thing for feathered coats. He could call himself "Disco Max" and probably be done with it.
But like I said before fans rudely shitting on Tracksuit for bringing this up are worse for the Mets' image than the "pimp" himself.

After we're through with this rally guy, let's go back in time to beat the living crap out of Dancing Harry.
Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
And for all we know he could be a good pimp. Ya know - nice to his stable,
five-day work weeks, medical and dental, paid holidays and a 401K plan!
Kinda reminded me of Billy Squier years ago but less gay looking.

Andy Martino is a waste of connective tissue. Thanks for telling us you're "right about this," I'd have never known otherwise.

Re: Mets "Rally Pimp " Guy
Don’t love the word “pimp” getting play, but the dude seems harmless. Hasn’t yet lost its charm a la the Diesel Donnie Stevenson shtick of 2021.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

No one objects to the term “pimping” a home run.
Maybe the word has evolved from its original meaning to now being a synonym for flamboyant.
