The White Sox had a day off Monday. They are not scheduled to play the Yankees again this season.
Donaldson said he twice called Anderson by “Jackie” — as in Robinson, who famously broke MLB’s color barrier in 1947 — during the Yankees’ 7-5 win on Saturday. The benches and bullpens emptied as tensions escalated. “Basically, it was trying to call me Jackie Robinson. Like, ‘What’s up, Jackie?’” Anderson said after Saturday’s game.
“My meaning of that is not any term trying to be racist by any fact of the matter,” Donaldson said Saturday.
Yep, the same MLB the threw Atlanta under the bus for the All Star game over another contrived narrative.
Fucking bullshit
Manfred’s MLB:
Tim Anderson should be suspended for comparing himself to Jackie Robinson
No one will say it but Anderson claiming he’s the “modern” Jackie is more disrespectful than the other guy mocking him for having said it. But taunting black players is racist so it’s banned. You can taunt whites but not blacks. I’m not sure about Hispanics?
What bullshit! If Anderson calls Donaldson Babe Ruth, is that racist Would Anderson get suspended. Anderson had a chip on his shoulder since 3rd base incident. The race card gets play when all else fails. This shit is getting old.
