It's pretty clear it was an act out of pure ignorance. Really don' think there's any hate -- he's just a dummy. That said, if there isn't some form of a suspension, the media will lose their ****. I'm expecting at least one game.
It was a very stupid thing for Gurriel to do. Suspending him more than a game would be an extreme punishment during the World Series. Gonzalez will have to move to first and Maybin or Fisher will play in the outfield.
The only thing he was ignorant to was the fact that he may lose his ability to play in the world series because it and that there would be backlash toward it.
If MLB suspends Yuli they should get on that suspension for the entire Indians organization. You know, because of cultural sensitivities.
I have to say huge props to Darvish and he now has a fan in me with the class he handled this situation with. I'll be rooting for him when he isn't playing the Stros
The reporter doesnt have any authority. I stopped reading when he said, let me tell you about my background.
Thank you. And to the "RACIST!!" crowd: Wouldnt it be racist for white journalists and a white commissioner to come down on a Cuban ball player for a comment not considered racist in his culture about an Asian that clearly wasn't offended? Keep crusading America.
In a time where everyone wants to spew their opinions on sports forums and social media suddenly journalists have no room to talk? Awesome. Maybe if his views aligned with yours you'd feel he'd have authority.
Damn, Yuli, why did you have to go and taint a perfectly good World Series to this point? Can't we get through anything these days without some distasteful thing occurring? I'm a little pissed. This is dumb.
