And a bilingual speaker on sports radio explained that he basically meant he must of turned "chinko" to be able to hit Yu,


Yeah, he said that it was about his inability to hit Darvish is in his career (He was like 1-7 or something like that).

no racist connotation in his culture.


I get this part, but it isn't an excuse. He's been out of Cuba for a couple of years now. He's also played in Japan and I doubt he was doing that crap over there. Just because it's not a racist term in his culture, doesn't mean it's okay.

But yeah, I do think it's being blown out of proportion to an extent.

Honestly, more people seem upset about this than Aroldis Chapman being arrested for domestic violence.

Well, Chapman was also automatically suspended for 30 games. You won't hear much outrage when people are punished.

Regardless, nothing should come from this in terms of a suspension, IMO

Thats exactly what I was coming to post.

When the situation is right, give him a plunk in the back with a fast ball and move on with this shite. Geez, people are such snowflakes these days.

It's even more disgusting that you assume that's what he was doing. Without context of the conversation or audio it just shows what racist acts lie in your heart.

Race only matters to a racist and you disgust me, racist.

Bruh, he already admitted he did it in reference to Darvish

There’s no arguing it anymore.

It’s not a big deal to me.

I’m also a white guy who isn’t worried about Asian people watching baseball or paying to get into the stadium.

The Dodgers are supposedly pissed and I can only imagine that the MLB front office isn’t very enthused either.

Probably 80% of people watching don’t give a shite, but how many times has the minority PC crowd managed to dictate situations like this in recent times?

He's not White, so he cannot be racist.

The Dodgers probably aren’t even pissed off, they just see it as an opportunity to give them an advantage in the World Series

Suspend Yuli the first four games of next season. Don’t alter a World Series over something so minuscule.

If YU had struck out altuve and told him to go eat a burrito y'all would be calling for a suspension for the rest of the series

Yet it will be altered because he will get drilled one game, which will lead to the stupid unwritten code of "protecting" and eventually someone will get suspended.

It's lame, when Ball Sucking Homers, like these Astro fans are, just cannot accept that dude fricked up.
