    Yunel Escobar Wears Eye Black For SBR Posters

    Yunel sent this message for you. Which one of you Canucks is he calling out?

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0..._hp_ref=sports

    Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar is the focus of an investigation by Major League Baseball after displaying a homophobic slur on the eye-black stickers that he wore while playing against the Boston Red Sox on September 15 at Rogers Centre.


    Photographs of the 29-year-old taken by Getty Images during the game, as well as images captured by a Blue Jays fan seated near the home dugout, make it clear that Escobar's eye-black bore the message "TU ERE MARICON."

    The phrase (with a slight spelling fix) is most commonly translated from Spanish to English as "You are a phaggot" according to the Toronto Star. The Globe And Mail notes that "Other possible translations of the phrase lack the homophobic connotation, but are nevertheless offensive."
