Anger Management Indeed


Building a bridge for racial tolerance he is not. Milton Bradley is in trouble again. The Dodgers outfielder, who has no relation to board games other than a cruel joke by his parents, has been ejected twice this season for throwing things. The most recent of which was a plastic bottle that had been thrown out onto the field after Bradley made a costly error. This time he decided to toss out some words. Forget bottles, Bradley’s going for that abuse that only racial insults can bring. He was interviewed recently by sources he didn’t call ‘Uncle Tom’s, and explained that he is seeking out anger management therapy to work on his tantrums. TRY HARDER DOUCHEBAG! Keeping yourself calm can be hard sometimes, but you’ve taken it to that next step. You’ve verbally abused a reporter who simply asked you questions about the bottle throwing incident and his five-game suspension.


As far as I’m concerned, the guy shouldn’t play the post-season at all. Racial intolerance, even though both of the gentlemen are the same race, is a very serious matter; far more serious than throwing a bottle or a bag of balls. Throw him out. That’s enough.

    And then the Dodgers' thugs pressured Fox Sports into erasing the incident from a video tape.

    FUCK THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS.

    AND! Major League Baseball has decided not to press charges against Milton Bradley. Does that make any sense what-so-ever? I'll answer my own rhetorical question, hell no.
    A MLB player was in a confrontation with a reporter in a locker room where racially charged rhetoric was spouted for no reason and they're going to do nothing. Hmmm, seems a bit hypocritical with all that John Rocker did. Remember that crazy bastard? He was suspended and docked pay because of his racially insensitive comments about New York City, but Bradley will not. Why? Was one situation worse than the other? I mean, Rocker did make his comments in a very public way, but Bradley nearly accosted a reporter after he, Bradley, called the reporter an 'Uncle Tom'. I don't care that the Dodgers are in the play-offs. I don't even care that Bradley was making a racial comment to someone of the same race. I do care, however, that the comment was made. I don’t care who you are, you don’t make those kinds of comments. If Major League Baseball is going to be fair and honest in all things racial they should, at the very least, suspend Milton from the post-season. There were no grounds for his comments, and that's that.
