I hope the Dodgers can win tonight to even the series at two games a piece. At some point, the home field winning streak for the Astros must come to an end.
Also, did you see Yuli Gurriel's Japanese/Asian impression after he hit his home run off of Darvish? If not,
here it is. Pretty immature, especially for a 33 year old. I bet the Dodgers acquired quite a few more Japanese and Asian fans after that.
Darvish is half Japanese, half Iranian and probably has an IQ 30 points higher than Yuli.
Also, I liked Darvish's response:
"I feel like, of course, Houston has Asian fans and Japanese fans, and Asian fans live all over the place," Darvish said. "And acting like that, it's just disrespectful to people around the world, to the Houston organization. It's not OK.
"Including him and I, nobody's perfect. Everybody's different. We've just got to learn from it. He made a mistake, and we've just got to learn from it. We are all human beings. It's just learn from it, and we've got to move forward."
Compare that response to black players that get offended and scream "racist!" in almost any situation and belabor the issue for days, weeks, months, years, or even decades on end. Even with some (the usual suspects) saying the Houston Texans owner's statement
"can't have the inmates running the prison" was racist. I'm still trying to figure out what was actually "racist" in that statement...was the "n-word" used? No. Did he say "black players"? No. It was probably a poor expression to use in that setting, but nonetheless an accurate one. When blacks hear or see the word "inmates" do they
instinctively think of themselves or other blacks in general so that's why they considered it racist? The only actual racism in any of this is the preponderance of black players over White players on his squad.
