Explain to me how incorrectly assuming that two separate umpires who were both animated behind the plate and had similar 'wtf' strike zones at times is racist.


Not even close to the same mechanics. They didn't look alike in their "strike" calls. It is a joke bud...Racist because you assumed the black umps were the same person (we all look alike).

guy at 2nd left much to be desired, totally missed scenic route taken by UF player and used poor judgement on Slaughter's slide, followed the rule, fine, but have seen far worse dismissed..he lost his head in terms of game context and believe he bit on a wonderful sell job by UF's shortstop....doesn't excuse Slaughter and if one expects him to think then so should the umpire and he failed, imv, as we simply witnessed hard baseball play...LSU should have never allowed that game to be that close to have such a debate arise....rules, I got it, but judgement is in there somewhere...always is, just not always as obvious.
