What is he doing, can't he see the logic behind what he said
Trying to protect his bag is the only logic he sees

Team USA bout to take the bronze. We def not winning gold this year. Got a team full of jump shooters. No interior or mid range presence whatsoever. This team will live and die by the outside shot

"obvious truth?" the obvious truth is rooted in xenophobia? baseball's marketability has nothing to do with shohei needing an interpreter
baseball's declining viewership is connected to many things, including, the deadball era, lower run production and long games during an era in which society has so many other forms of entertainment to engage with. matter of fact, you could argue that shohei's bat makes the MLB more watchable.
saying that a person needs to speak english so that the MLB is more watchable is akin to white people going into a mexican or chinese restaurant and then telling the workers to speak english.
i'd watch manny pacquiao's pre- and post-fight pressers during his prime and barely understand a word he said.. but boxing wasn't hurting for an audience.

someone in my group text randomly sent out "****, marry, kill: basketball, baseball, football"
unanimously, baseball was sent to the grave.

Good point bringing up boxing. Half that sport needs translators and they're doing fine.

In todays' day and age this language barrier doesn't mean ****.
Y'all know dude's politics are just a counter argument to the demographics he doesn't like at this point

especially with our best players opting to stay home. Only one superstar went to the games this year and he's not alpha mentality. The rest are tier 2 stars and below.

Do you really feel like SAS comments were xenophobic? A few years back I made comments about MLB players needing to speak English and then having to have translators leading to me thinking less of them. It was a blanket statement to all Latin born players and it was birthed from pure ignorance. It was something I was able to realize, not immediately but eventually and I did/do see the error in my thinking. There’s no excuse or explanation for my stance and comments back then other than, my own ignorance. It was one of the more stupid things I’ve said here or anywhere, but it doesn’t mean more than one thing, I was uneducated and insensitive and more or less an idiot In that instance. That whole situation allowed for growth, personal growth and understanding. Does that situation and those comments make me an awful person at a core level? Does it make the opinions of those who think that I am a **** person and a racist valid? There’s enough opinions to go around I’m sure. Does it give me a “those without Sin should cast the first stone” type of attitude? No. It does give me perspective on this ordeal, and though I don’t particularly care for SAS, I can read the room. Xenophobic wasn’t what came to mind.
At times we all act as if these talking heads or anybody with a voice/platform aren’t with Sin and can’t make mistakes, shouldn’t make mistakes, can’t make mistakes. Without mistakes there can be no growth. I believe that It’s what you do after you’ve ****** up, that really shows who you are.

Lots of Americans who grow up in the usa, even if they have parents who can speak another language, grow up only being able to speak in English.
Whereas with people who grow up in the EU or Asia, it's not uncommon for the average citizen to speak two, or even three languages.
It's always the people who can only speak one language who are loudest about 'speak English only'

I wouldn't say it's doing just fine. All the best boxers in the world speak English. Hell, even all the most popular MMA fighters speak English as well.
Boxing isn't in the same class as the NFL or NBA. Yao Ming had a translator for a few years, but picked up English.
