"I don't have anything against homosexuals. I have friends who are gay. In reality I'd like to ask for the apologies of all those who have been offended by this."

Toronto Blue Jays' Yunel Escobar suspended three games for gay slur on eye black - ESPN



Why...even.........do it then?

[Trendy Bastard]

What an idiot.

He gone...

third article ive seen on this, none of which stated what it said. i need to know what it said for the sake of my fantasy baseball team name next year.

[Hammer]

ok i found it... tu ere maricon. you are a ****** is the translation

and as far as im understanding this article... on an august 29th game, he wrote 'k pinga no' on his eye black. which translates to no penis.

totally awesome, go yunel.

Did Yunel Escobar previously write “no penis” or “WTF” on his eye black? – Outsports

[Kingdom]

So...suddenly he's wearing strange messages on his eye black when previously, he never wore eye black.

Something is afoot. :sam:

Ozzie Guillen did a spot on the Dan Lebatard podcast yesterday. Explained how in Latin America, it's a different meaning. But Ozzie was quick to point out that this isn't Latin America, and Yunel has to play by these rules.

I kinda enjoyed Ozzie in that moment.

[Kingdom]

He does have his moments.

I am still confused by some of this though, seems weird all the way around. On top of being stupid.

[Foster]

It's just being stupid IMO.

I would have thought that Omar Vizquel would say something, but he was too busy trying to catch the babe in hits.

[Kingdom]

Well, we all know Colby Rasmus wouldn't have caught it. He probably barely reads English.

[Foster]

Colby only reads what his dad tells him to read.

[Kingdom]

Which apparently doesn't include pitches now.
