There is something seriously wrong with suspending a player for five games in the next season

[malaise]

when he violated the rules in the 'world series'. This stinks.

[Not Ruth]

1. The game is rigged

[underpants]

2. Yeah I thought was a chicken sht decision

The first 5 games in the spring. No one gives a crap about those games.

[Mosby]

3. especially because it was for bigotry.

He should have been suspended for one world series game.

4. I hate this incident..

Gurriel did a stupid thing and apologized. Darvish blew it off and offered forgiveness. Gurriel played baseball in Japan, Darvish appreciates that too. I think the attention is good that it raises awareness about doing or saying things that ridicule an entire race of people. We can't and shouldn't follow the lead of the toddler in chief.

I hate that someone is defined by the dumbest thing he ever did. but a standing ovation by Houston fans? That was over the top. And he'll be soundly booed in LA. Ain't America great!

[malaise]

5. Sad indeed

[MaryMagdaline]

6. Absolute disgrace

Millions of Japanese watch MLB. Now they know America cares nothing about racism against Asians. Same with the millions of Californians of Asian descent. He played in Japan and the opposing team is from California, home to millions of Asisns? He knew exactly what he was doing. POS. not his "worst" moment; his defining moment.

[malaise]

7. The fact that he played in Japan made it worse

Agreed

8. There should had been some sort of immediate penalty.

Just like there is in the NFL and NBA. Whether removal from some or all of the remaining innings or some other penalty that reduces their effectiveness.
