Yuli Gurriel did something profoundly stupid during Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night. After hitting a home run off Los Angeles Dodgers starter Yu Darvish, who is from Japan, Gurriel returned to the dugout, held his index fingers to the outer corners of his eyes and pulled to narrow them, mimicking Darvish. Major League Baseball will meet with Gurriel before Game 4 on Saturday, and if the league intends to stay consistent with its message of inclusion and follow past precedent, it will suspend Gurriel for the action.

The MLB risks pissing off the Hispanic community. No win situation here
Ought to suspend him for the bad haircut.......
Brown people cannot be racist.
Baseball had a windfall of goodwill with NFL idiocy driving viewers away.
Now will the World Series be hijacked by media virtue signaling?
Lighten up, Jeff.
Is Gurriel Cuban? If so, bet MLB will give him a pass...
Might help if they stopped hiring jerks.
Ditto for the NFL.
I’m sick and tired of watching the Hispaniolas taking over baseball....most are cry babies, can’t speak English and are way too temperamental.
What a terrible situation for baseball. Who has to pay for this incident? The Asian guy for being mocked and baseball doing nothing or the hispanic guy and baseball irritates much of its base? Too bad its not a white racist, those guys are so easy to deal with!!!
Darvish released a gracious and sensible statement on the incident, but the race baiters want to stir up the hate every time.
Looks like he has a bird's nest on his head.
I’m more annoyed with all the players with the ZZ Top beards.
Yeah, they look like real schmucks, too.
It is kinda a secret in the media, isn’t it?
My pops is from Mexico as is most of my moms side of her family. He has told me horrible stories about how Mexicans treat the Indians and lower classes, or “the help”. Here in the states Latin people can be some of the most racist people you’ve ever heard. We get a pass though, because as has been stated in later posts, brown people can’t be racist. And most of our racism is said in Spanish.
Its not the fact that he did something that was racist.
Its how much offence the offended party wishes to take.
What is Jeff Pissant up to now?
