If loving baseball is wrong, I don't wanna be white.

Steven A is in A perfect position to spew his crap.... He is on ESPN on A national show every weekday... As usaual he can say stupid crap all the time and fit right in with all the other ESPN people... He uses race because ESPN lets him.... He knows sports to an extent, but he tries to use BIG words to make him sound more impressive.....

ESPN just doing their thang...amirite?
There's unwritten rules in every sport. In the NBA it's frowned upon to invade a players labding space, it's bush league to flop nowadays, and particularly bad when you get busted. Let's not pretend every elbow thrown is inadvertent, sometimes it is retaliatory.
Hockey fights are allowed by design as a means to police hits on star players. It's all part of the 'unwritten' but well-known aspect of the game.
In college football and basketball, you don't want to stomp on the home team's center court or field logo. Cheap shots and cut blocks happen in CFB as a way to get even for that late hit on the qb, etc.
Saying the unwritten rules tie into policing the game isn't entirely true. Other sports have means of policing themselves. But it's convenient for SAS to shite on baseball because that's not ESPN's baby, NBA and CFB are.

Anyone who thinks football players don't police on the field is an idiot. If you take a cheap shot on a cut block you better be prepared for retaliation.
Not to mention the shite that happens at the bottom of piles.
And dress code? Has he seen the ridiculous things nba players wear?

I actually don't even think SAS is a racist I think he just loves the camera a little too much.

It certainly isn't racist as Stephen A is asserting.

He's likening baseball to a good ol boy network, and I see his point.
His point is to start racial crap and bring attention to himself.
Baseball, like every sport has traditions. Hes got to be a woman as much as he bitches.
