Jack Morris on the verge of being dismissed from Detroit Tigers due to racism.

Not sure why this is really racist. I noticed in 2016 Hillary Clinton changed her accent based on the demographics of every location she was ever in - especially in black churches.

Let me help you.
quote:
Detroit Tigers television analyst Jack Morris said he "did not intend for any offensive thing" on Tuesday night after using an accent when describing what the Tigers should do when pitching to the Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani, who was coming up to bat.
quote:
Bally Sports Detroit play-by-play announcer Matt Shepard asked, "Now what do you do with Shohei Ohtani?"
Morris said with an accent: "Be very, very careful." Ohtani was then intentionally walked.

Some people really like to bend and stretch the definition of racism.

She is still a liberal icon correct?

He's a notorious a-hole.

Jack Morris is probably one of the bigger “I don’t give a frick” guys I can think of in sports. Has been since his playing days.
I have a feeling he won’t care if he gets fired and shunned.

I watched the game on MLB.tv last night. I was hoping to seeing Miggy hit 500. I don't think Jack is a racist or bad guy. He did a dumb thing. But, would he speak in a Latino accent in talking about Miggy? Would he talk in a Black accent before a black player comes up to bat?
His apology wasn't very good as noted here.

I so love our cancel culture.

Saying “Be very very careful” while dropping your R’s is an Elmer Fudd thing, not Asian thing (except the actual saying was “be very very quiet, I’m hunting for wabbits). Morris probably forgot what that saying came from. Someone needs to alert him and the Tigers to this fact.
Edit: never mind, I just listened to the actual audio. It was definitely him trying to do an Asian accent. I still don’t think it’s an issue though.

He will care. He's in the HOF and he loves baseball and he makes some money doing games on tv. He likes to work with pitchers during spring training and during the season. Baseball is his life. My guess is that he is truly sorry.

MSB regarding Stephen A comments: He is racist! Cancel him!
Also MSB regarding poorly mocking the accent of an Asian person while commenting on an Asian person: That's fricking hilarious these guys can't take a joke! So sick of cancel culture
