Colin Cowherds about players from the Dominican Republic have sparked outrage throughout baseball.
On Friday, Major League Baseball weighed in with this:
<p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">MLB i sued the following statement this afternoon https://www.chibearsedge.com/chicago-bears-jackets regarding yesterdays comments made by Colin Cowherd of ESPN Radio.
MLB Communications (@MLB_PR) MORE: |
During a commentary Thursday that started as a discu sion about Marlins manager Dan Jennings, Cowherd began to ramble on about the complexity of the game" and said, in part, The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world cla s academic abilities.
<p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">Dear Mr. before i rip you a new one i would like for you to explain what u meant to say about baseball and dominicans, please
Jose Bautista (@JoeyBats19) Cowherd, whos leaving ESPN to join FoxSports, later tried to backtrack on his comments by citing the number of MLB players https://www.chibearsedge.com/gale-sayers-jerseys with college degrees and language barriers in a game with a large Latino presence.
by saying some of Colins comments yesterday referencing the Dominican Republic were inappropriate and do not reflect ESPNs values of respect for all communities.
"Colins on-air response today addre sed the importance of making sure his opinions are fact-based and responsible for all people."
UPDATE: MLB Players A sociation executive director Tony Clark weighed in on the situation with a statement.
"As a veteran of fifteen MLB seasons, I can a sure you that our sport is infinitely more complex than https://www.chibearsedge.com/jaylon-johnson-jerseys some in the media would have you believe. To suggest otherwise is ignorant, and to make an ignorant point by denigrating the intelligence of our Dominican members was not 'clunky'it was offensive.These recent comments are particularly disappointing when viewed against the backdrop of the important work being done to celebrate and improve the cultural diversity of our game. Baseball's partners and stakeholders should help such efforts, not undermine them."
UPDATE 2:Cowherdtweeted an apology shortly after that he would no longer appear on the network.
<p dir="ltr" lang="en" xml:lang="en">I did not intend to offend anyone w my comments. I realize my choice of words was poor and not reflective of who I am https://www.chibearsedge.com/jimmy-graham-jerseys . I am sorry.
