Toronto Blue Jays Escobar Gets BITCH SLAPPED!
Toronto Blue Jays player Yunel Escobar, who took the field over the weekend with “Tu Ere Maricon” (“You are a faggot”) painted in his eye black, will face a three game suspension and donate his lost salary to anti-defamation group GLAAD, and You Can Play, an organization dedicated to combating homophobia in sports.
He will also undergo sensitivity training.
Said Escobar at a press conference this afternoon, through a translator: “I don’t have anything against homosexuals. I have friends that are gay…It’s just something that’s been said amongst the Latinos. It’s not something that’s meant to be offensive.” – seriously dude? You are a Faggot, is not offensive??
Said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick:
“Today’s actions show that MLB and the Toronto Blue Jays are committed
to creating an environment that all fans and families can enjoy, not a
place where discriminatory language and anti-gay attitudes are
accepted.”
