Topic on Talk:Mummy Melcon

From Blaseball Wiki

Proposing deleting/changing following trivia: "Melcon's fastball clocks in at a respectable 87 mph, but she struggles with the more complex pitches due to her smooth, dry wrappings. Tigers management found some success in having her periodically touch Richmond Harrison for moisture, but in an unpleasant turn of phrase, the ILB ruled this a spitball."

"Mummy Melcon is close friends with the parents of actor Rami Mlalek, of Mr. Notarobot fame."

The first references a previous orientalist version of mummy as a mummified corpse, which tigers brought up and discussed in discord chat before deciding to retire due to concerns of racism. The proposed change would delete references to bandages while leaving the rest of the trivia intact.

The second bit of trivia seems to be making a point of including a reference to Rami Malek solely due to his egyptian heritage/role in Night at the Museum. This correlation is unnecessary and frankly a little racist.This piece of trivia should be deleted.
