Derek Jeter looked around and realized something wasn't adding up, so he did something about it.
ESPN is reporting that the Yankees legend and current part owner of the Miami Marlins is instituting a program within his organization that will require English-speaking players and coaches to learn Spanish, just as Spanish speaking players and coached have always had to do with English. There will also be an education program in the minor leagues that will offer English lessons to Latin American players.
"I've been to the Dominican and Venezuela," Jeter said. "I went to Cuba with Major League Baseball in 2016. So I've been to those countries and tried to learn as much as I could about their cultures. Everybody expects the Latin players to make an effort to speak English. Well, especially here in Miami, if you don't speak Spanish, you don't fit in. I think it's important."

How do you say “f_ck off turd” in Spanish/Hispanic/Mexican?
All the more reason to speak English....unless you want a Tower of Babel, but please invite every illiterate 3rd world $hithead to speak their oven language, make their own rules, and follow their own laws. Lord knows we don’t need conformity to make a nation. Let’s just all do whatever we want. Now please smash Jeters head in with a bat.
¡Jeter Guano!
“Now if your boss says you have to learn Arabic, you have a choice. You can quit. He can’t make you do something you don’t want to do, and you can’t make him do something he doesn’t want to do. Governments can. That is the difference.”
There will be no difference for many people. It’s a cumulative effect, a critical mass. When your neighborhood, and then your town turns hispanic, what choice do you have? To move? To move just so it happens again in twenty years in your new neighborhood? Madison, Nebraska is in the middle of nowhere. Forty years ago it was 99% white. In 2000, it was 39% hispanic. In 2010, it was 50% hispanic. At this rate it will be 60% hispanic in 2020, 70% in 2030, 80% in 2040. Hispanics will own the government, the land, the businesses. What choice will people have then?
A country within a country is rapidly being created. It’s cultural colonization. It is not simply a language issue.
Neil Diamond crap

Is that somehow related to the Baseball Diamond?
Even if the players learn Spanish they still can’t eat tacos or cuban sandwiches.
Why not? I’m pretty fluent in Spanish. Mostly menu items.
The Marlins play ball in the USA.
In the USA, we speak English.
All Marlins should be required to learn English because they play ball in the USA.
When the Marlins move to Caracas, the players should be required to learn Spanish. Until then, no need for them to learn Spanish.
Because...
In the USA, we speak English!
The team needs to communicate. What is wrong with this if it helps them to win?
It’s not the government doing it...so who cares?
Ay yai yai....que lastima.
Oh for heaven’s sake.
Get over it you idiots.
This is and will always be an English speaking nation.
If you wish to speak Spanish, there are all sorts of nations south of our border, where you can live in a perfect place according to your standards.
... and Miami is Central America’s capital.
WOW! What happened to the law that you had to learn to speak and write English before you became a citizen? I guess it does not apply to the “cattle” they bring here to play a game . I’m sick of all of these “exceptions” to the rules of law. We have to obey them but illegals and criminals don’t. If you are white you a hunted down like a dog for breaking the law. If you are black, brown, yellow or wear a rag on your head you are EXEMPT from you actions. I’m sick of it!
So they are going to release a well-performing player because he wont learn Spanish? Doubt it.
...So I’ve been to those countries and tried to learn as much as I could about their cultures...
So far, so good.
When you visit another Country you ought to respect their culture and try to speak their language.
If you plan to stay in another Country, you ought to respect and try to adhere to their customs and traditions.
Same message to everyone planning to visit the USA or stay for a little while.
Would affecting Cheech Marin’s accent be sufficient?
No they play that retarded “sweet caroline” garbage by that skankees fan Neil Diamond because it was used in an equally retarded jimmy fallon movie.
