As I mentioned a couple days ago, Ozzie Guillen, manager of the White Sox, called Chicago Sun-Times columnist an offensive term relating to homosexuals. He was ordered to go to sensitivity training, but he said he doesn’t think he’ll go. Guillen has been getting nothing but criticism from the press and your average fan (as long as said fan doesn’t live in southside Chicago or northwest Indiana). But now Guillen has some support. Read to this quote. “This is a free country. If [Guillen] wants to use a lewd term, he should be able to use a lewd term. Can’t you use a lewd term in America if you want?” Of course! Ozzie Guillen should be able to say whatever he wants with no repercussions! We all should! (For the record, I think all Danes should go back to their own country. All they’re good for are pastries anyways. Flippin’ Danes.*) It’s the American way!
For the record, the above quote is from John Rocker, beacon of understanding, reason, and all that is good in baseball. In case you hadn’t heard, John Rocker has also “said he would never play for a New York team because he didn’t want to ride a train “next to some queer with AIDS”. He also bashed immigrants, saying “How the hell did they get in this country?” He also called a black teammate a “fat monkey,” spit on a toll machine and mocked Asian women.” (Thanks to ESPN) But of course, Rocker had every right to do that. – Ryan
