Weird story alleging that NY's Josh Donaldson committed a nasty racial comment, hurled at Chicago's Tim Anderson:


The way the story unfolds is that Donaldson sarcastically calls out Anderson with the "slur", "Jackie", in reference to Jackie Robinson. The benches clear a couple of times, Anderson is apoplectic and some teammates push and shove a little bit. The drunken weirdo who manages Chicago then demands that there's accountability for the racist act.

It turns out that Anderson had compared himself to Robinson a couple of years ago, saying he's "today's Jackie Robinson" in how he's "getting to a point where I need to change the game." Kind of a lofty comparison, but it seems like race-baiting akin to if Benjamin Crump said he was today's MLK Jr. and then reacted negatively if someone dared to call him, "Dr. King".

I tried to see if I really care, and then I remembered it was the Yankees, so... screw them.

The race baiters are real noisy aren't they? Must be an election year.

“I am the modern day Jackie Robinson!”

”Hey Jackie.”

”YOU RACIST!”




I hate this world.

Careful. Someone might suspend you for a game too.
