In case the tweet gets removed (I wouldn't expect it to), here's the image.

Go get 'em Joey!

 

Jays should hire a racist heckler to travel with the team if it means Joey is in mad bash mode!

What did this guy say?

[dbyrks]

What did this guy say?

Something along the lines of 'baseball is not a complex sport because Dominicans are so prevalent in the majors, and Dominicans are not well-educated.' This article has an extended quote. Pretty ignorant comments from some guy I've never heard of on his way out of ESPN, probably just trying to get some media attention. He probably knows very little about DR and I'd be shocked if he'd actually been to the country. Glad to see Bautista call him out. Hope he gets a reply!

Seriously? Have you ever listened to Glenn Beck? Because he is the exact opposite of that guy.

But kinda devalues all ball players too, but would explain Gump and a few ex jays Dominican or not! Lol

[CJ-Freeway]

Wow, what a f***ing dick.

[Caper]

Ok so what he said is wrong, not morally, but actually wrong. But f***ing get over yourselves already. Assume he is joking and f*** off with the internet lynch mob s***.

What a tard. Baseball is one of the better sports in terms of being able to use your mind as well as athletic skill. Greg Maddux turned his slightly above average stuff into a Hall of Fame career by accumulating knowledge and outsmarting his opponents. The NFL is the only one of the big 4 in North America imo where more thought gets put into every play, but that thinking is quite centralized at the QB and coach level. NBA...well it doesn't take a genius to grow to 7 feet tall and dunk a ball into a net.

We're an 3rd world country, but We aren't that dumb. He's a moron

[Zaun of the Dead]

what the f***, kick his ass bats

What i do find weird, why does the clip end as soon as he says Dominicans? Kinda like it's out of context or something but hard to imagine he said anything positive there.

he's a prejudice radio jockey, he'll get a ton of views (which he wants)

[GreekFatAss]

Anyone else find that statement ironic coming from an American?

The remainder of the clip was transcribed on various sites, and it didn't really get any better. He just displayed his ignorance further by trying to claim that the lack of education in the Dominican Republic is proof that they're less intelligent than Americans. He's a ****.

Agree. **** f***tard. Maybe he is positioning and is going to challenge Trump in the GOP primaries.

We are a nation of good people, corrupt politicians, but good people. We don't started wars or have death penalty

Here is the rest. It's similar to the jokes that we make at Ang...but our forum is a little smaller than his. If I do ever get famous though I fully expect this messageboard will be my downfall. For the record I love Ang. Not in the way he loves his goats but still much love here.

 

“It’s too complex? I’ve never bought into that ‘baseball is too complex.’ Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world class academic abilities. A lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have. Baseball is like any sport. It’s mostly instincts. A sportswriter who covers baseball could go up to Tony La Russa and make an argument and Tony would listen and it would seem reasonable. There’s not a single NFL writer in the country who could diagram a play for Bill Belichick. You know, we get caught up in this whole ‘thinking-man’s game.’ Is it in the same family? Most people could do it. It’s not being a concert pianist. It’s in the same family.”

Another difference. You all love and respect me. The heavy and offensive jokes just shown your love for me.

 

I have at least 9 years with you all, for that reason, I think your jokes is just to make me happy (BTS and Boxy really hate me, f*** them both)

[Caper]

There is nothing I hate worst then this f***ing fake out rage s***.

 

Ang. People say s*** to you constantly on this site. A lot worst then he said. It never bothered you because you know it's a joke. I'm from Cape Breton and get the same stuff. Newfies get it worst.

 

Or if you think he's not joking, try and think what he means without assuming he's racist.

 

Baseball as a whole has the smartest athletes, I believe. For 2 reasons. First they spend longer in college then any other sport and two they spend longer in the minors then any other sport and play in the league longer. To me, hockey players are some of the dumbest, mainly because so many of them hardly have high school. Dominicans as a whole don't spend the time in college like many ball players, but do spend the time in the minors. To me it puts them ahead of hockey players but below so many of the ball players on an educational level.

[HERPDERP]

Either way I don't know why the issue of 'smarts' is an issue. They're good at their sport. Thats all that should matter.

[BTS]

Is he even wrong?

The point he was arguing was that someone said that baseball was a complex sport. He's not wrong it's pretty simple

It's not rocket science but some players make it look like it is.... Ruben Sierra would be a good example. Some great physical skill wrapped up in a thick layer of stupid.

 

you can't be elite at any sport if you don't have a brain to figure it all out.

 

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

[Terminator]

Cowherd is an idiot and is making a false equivalency argument on multiple levels. He's always hated baseball and he'll use any s***** argument he can to trash the game.

 

Education and intelligence are two different things. Further to that, a traditional K-12 education doesn't translate to a baseball education. According to Cowherd's argument, it seems like someone with a Ph.D. would play sports at a more intelligent level than someone with merely a college degree? I'm not buying that.

 

You could argue that these Dominican players who do nothing but play baseball since a very young age are MORE educated about the game of baseball than a U.S. player who focuses on school and then practices a couple hours a day during baseball season.

Exactly this.

There have been some pretty stupid sprinters. Ben Johnson had the brain capacity of a 10 year old.
