    Couldn’t agree more. I think it was genius by Donaldson. What a way to clown a guy. Use his own words against him. Donaldson can’t help that Anderson is black and said he wanted to be the next Robinson. If anything Anderson comparing himself to an all time great that was also black is racist.

    How was it a genius move? They lost a doubleheader yesterday. Maybe the black players of Yankees do not agree with Donaldson and let the team lose twice so the management can reprimand him.

    Not a genius move. But the Yankees aren't throwing games. Maybe worth saying that the White Sox had extra motivation.

    Donaldson's more of a douche than a racist though.

    Yes. I don't know what caused the losses. Not saying that the Yankees intentionally lost the games but they definitely lost focus and the Whitesox were motivated to beat them like you said.

    Networks will attempt ANYTHING to fan a controversy and have you tune in more often and for longer.

    Yes but I'd argue this racist/woke narrative causes most people to change the channel nowadays

    Yeah that's what I figured. He has a reputation as an idiot, so he probably does get a suspension here. It might have been funny in 2019, but that was a long time ago. I didn't think we needed to hear about it for the first 3 innings though. I didn't watch after the hockey game started so no clue if they dropped it or kept going.

    Lost a double header and still have the best record in baseball f*** face so it was meaningless. Lol a double header in May? Oh wowwwww how significant. Guess they will miss the post season now as a result of Donaldsons insensitivity. Any man who thinks it was racist is a straight up BITCH. End of story.

    Sports in this country is becoming a joke. It used to be people messed with each other because they actually liked them. If it went to far people handled it by telling them to shut up or even throwing hands.

    What they did to Paige Steele they were pretty much saying "Sorry doll, you have the right skin color but wrong agenda"

    Hypocrites.
    You have to be both black and a liberal, not one or the other, but both.

    Lemme get this straight.
    Anderson insults Jackie Robinson by calling himself the modern day Jackie Robinson BUT gets offended when someone else calls him Jackie Robinson?

    Is this a real story?

    Guy's all white people are bad. Then all this nonsense is easy to understand.

    Soccer mom's and liberals that are white are sorry they are white. Make sense?
