Thank God Yu is not openly gay. Otherwise, the LGBT would have us forfeit the entire damn series. SJW's and social media sucks so hard.

For some reason, I'm thinking a bunch of white women from LA (the not hot kind) are way more upset about this than any genuine "China."

Pull your eyes back, roll your r's, have a lazy tounge, punch each other in the nuts. It's what guys do. Let guys be guys. Take your sjw sheet to Harvard. Let us live our lives.

Let's shift the narrative. If we're all about cultural relativism, then we're unfairly applying American PC culture to someone from a culture with completely different values. We should celebrate our differences in values, not suspend or fine people for acting them out.

Sure, this crumbles when it stands up to logic, but so does almost everything else about that ideology.

The only people up in arms about this are black's and whites. Just skimmed a bunch of comments on the internet and don't see any Latins or Asians even commenting on it.

So you remember when in America, every Asian was "Chinese"? Same thing still exists in Cuba and Puerto Rico. It's not like there's bunch of Asians in Cuba fighting for cultural sensitivity over there. The guy didn't mean any disrespect, and there was certainly no malice. Educate him and move on.

If he did it in the dugout IDGAF.

Now if he ran the bases making fun of Yu then it'd be an issue. In the dugout whatever.

F*** apologies. Yu should make some joke about Cuban boat people and then move on. No one is cool anymore though.

If Yuli is suspended, it should only be half a game since he only made fun of half of Yu.

That is one of the worst translations in history. It's "chinita", not "china" - among other things and general typos.
Joe West is a fat piece of **** and a waste of oxygen.

Negating a Harvard education because of your hatred for a political party is exceptionally ignorant, but I applaud your epically failed attempt at a straw man.

A guy I worked with used to say, "imagine a guy of average intelligence, and then realize that about half the population is dumber than him." I'll add to that and say that most of those people are on twitter and posting in the comment sections of articles. Do yourself a favor and just ignore the stupidity.

Ha, never read twitter replies. Take the dumbest people in society and put them in a barrel, scrape the bottom of that barrel and you have the people who reply on twitter.

Apparently Yuli admitted to calling him "chino" since that's what they say in Cuba. That translation was awful. Sounds like someone hit speech-to-text, didn't proof and threw up the screenshot on twitter.

LOL, I think I asked myself about 5 different times, "why are you reading this?"

So MLB has a team named the "Indians" and people want to suspend yuli for perpetuating a racial stereotype?


How can you as the MLB suspend yuli for the gesture if you promote this as the official logo for one of your teams?

Forget all this BS

Our manager loves a good bar brawl and our 1Bman is a biggot.

Bottom line is we just have to win 2 more, with 2 starts by Keuchel and Verlander.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I like our chances to win a World Championship.

Oh yeah..To hell with cone.

Worried that even if he's not suspended this will affect Yuli's performance. Maybe even stoke a fire in the dodgers as well.

Agreed. Don't sit him, don't apologize. In this SJW infested world never show weakness in your public image. When **** like this happens either own it and double down, attack your opponent, obfuscate, or lie about your intentions.

There is no good that ever comes from apologizing.

As someone who is way more liberal than you crazy ass conservative ****s, suspending Yuli for that would be totally absurd. It was clear we had been hitting Japanese pitchers like ****, so he decided to have a little fun with it. I work for a Japanese company and we have tons of Japanese nationals in our office. If us crackers in our office ever did what Yuli did they'd laugh and make fun at how we lack peripheral vision. While its a bit insensitive, its not nearly insensitive enough to warrant suspension.


I don't think you know what liberal means anymore...
