Hall of Fame IDIOT!!

Oh man, I am pretty pissed right now. I was surfing cyberspace and hit up espn and read this story. It involves one of my former favorite baseball players, Gary Sheffield. He truly was one of my favorites, but the anger in his heart has really changed my view. This piece of trash claims his theory for why there are not as many blacks in the MLB than there are Latinos is that blacks are "less likely to be controlled." Here is the best set of quotes from the story: "Where I'm from, you can't control us. You might get a guy to do it that way for a while because he wants to benefit, but in the end, he is going to go back to being who he is. And that's a person that you're going to talk to with respect, you're going to talk to like a man.

"These are the things my race demands. So, if you're equally good as this Latin player, guess who's going to get sent home? I know a lot of players that are home now can outplay a lot of these guys."

Are you frikkin kidding me?! Last time I checked, outplaying anyone in the pro level would land you on a squad, so for this idiot to claim that Latin players are just more susceptible to "being controlled" is just pure ignorance. I can promise you that if this were a white guy saying this about black players, it would be front page news for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, but this will be just a blip on the espn homepage for a few hrs and disappear. I can assure you that I will be firing off emails to the Tigers and several other sources to get some attention to this ignorance until this idiot realizes what a completely stupid "theory" he has.

It's not that difficult, black kids don't play baseball because they like basketball and football. Simple as that. Baseball is probably just not "cool" to them. Like soccer, hockey, lacrosse, etc. Does that mean those sports have people in them that are easily controlled as well?

Gary Sheffield is a moron and I hope he gets hit with a pitch the next time he's at bat.
