Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman wants to take a swing at the NASCAR driver who uttered a racial slur during a live broadcast of a virtual race.
NASCAR’s Kyle Larson on Sunday apparently thought his audio had cut out when he used the N-word on the popular Twitch video-game streaming app during the sport’s iRacing series, which was created with real -life sports on hold because of the coronavirus.

Lol! So true!
“In MLB, Strohman is considered a midget. He is only 5’7”, 175 pounds. All hat and no cattle.”
And he is employed.
Kyle Larson Is no longer employed.
No, it’s a double standard. If a group of people find a specific word so injurious, they should stop using it themselves. You don’t hear women running around calling each other “c**ts” for good reason.
“...out of 100,000 in the English language...”
English has easily 175,000 words in common use and by many estimates nearly a million total.
Need the next scene
Chase: NIGGER!
Pryor: Dead Honky!
Not a big fan of free speech huh?
“You’ll be the highest-paid janitor in America. Just please, don’t hurt me!”
Well I can use the word “Polack” and you can’t. Nyah!
*legal* free speech? Of course. Probably much more than most Freepers.
Pathetic whining by supposedly adult (and presumably white) guys sounding like 8 year olds crying “But but but THEY can say the N word and *I* can’t, that’s so unfair mommy, why the double standard, why why why WHAAAAA”, nah, not a fan. If someone’s bothered that a black dude can say it and that they’d be considered a racist if they did, I think they really need to get a life.
It always comes off as someone being a frustrated racist, just dying to be able to shout “NI***R” and then plopping out the same tired old crap “Buuut buuut buut *THEY* get to say/listen to it in their {c}rap “music”.
There should be no problems, no apologies, and no fights.
It was a simulation.
I had black friends and we threw that term back and forth like anything else not PC. That goes the same with Latino friends. I suppose some are extra sensitive,hypocritical and get easily butt hurt.
.. black people sound just as stupid when they say it.
Rappers throw around that word just as much as they throw around the word Bitch.
Rap is for all the uneducated morons in this world.
No intelligent person could listen to the crap.

Not a single argument with any of your statements. I *HATE* that garbage passing as music.
My entire point is that white people upset that they can’t use that word sound like racist,whiny little babies. Who cares?
How many black folk can say “My rental properties” like I can :-)
There should be equal treatment under the law.
Anybody who doesn’t agree is a bigot.
You miss the point.
They put so much energy into going after people who say a word, rather than focusing on all the black-on-black violence and the rot in the sub-culture, that have nothing to do at all with “whitey”, perhaps if they gave that the focus it needs, they would be much better off, but no, they’d just rather bitch about somebody using “that word.”
Come on, Marcus - Kyle dindu nuffin.
He wondered if the paychecks have stopped...
This is funny to me because Stroman is a baseball pitcher so he’s obviously going to use his pitching arm to slug somebody. And should he tear a ligament or tendon during his beatdown? Idiot might ruin the rest of his career because somebody used an offensive word while he thought he was off-mic.
BTW, Mr. Larson is half-Japanese.
When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.
