MLB investigating slur on eye black
Major League Baseball is investigating reports that Toronto Blue Jays
shortstop Yunel Escobar played Saturday's game against Boston wearing eye
black depicting a gay slur written in Spanish.
At least one photo taken by Getty Images shows Escobar wearing the eye black
with the slur during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
Getty Images confirmed the photo's authenticity to ESPN.com's Keith Law.
MLB spokesman Pat Courtney confirmed to ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick and The
Associated Press the commissioner's office is looking into the reports.
"The Toronto Blue Jays do not support discrimination of any kind nor condone
the message displayed by Yunel Escobar during Saturday's game," the Blue Jays
said in a statement Monday night, adding the club "takes this situation
seriously and is investigating the matter."
The team said Escobar will be available to the media Tuesday afternoon at
Yankee Stadium along with general manager Alex Anthopoulos, manager John
Farrell and coach Luis Rivera.
One of Escobar's agents declined to comment when reached by Crasnick on
Monday.
Escobar, 29, played the entire game Saturday but was scratched from the
lineup Sunday due to flu-like symptoms.
蓝鸟游击手 Yunel Escobar 在周日对战红袜的比赛中 由于当天是午场
所以他贴上遮阳膏来防阳 但是他在上面用西班牙语写着 TU ERE MARICON
意指 " 搞同性恋的人 " 现在经由球迷拍下在 Getty Images 上发布后
引起极大的争议 目前联盟官方决定要介入调查此事
所以蓝鸟球团将于明天与洋基比赛之前 召开记者会说明此事来龙去脉
包含事主 Yunel Escobar GM Alex Anthopoulos 教头 John Farrell 以及
另一位教练 Luis Rivera 等人出席说明此事
据蓝鸟高层说 由于他来自中南美 生性幽默 他写那段话是很多中南美球员常拿来
开玩笑的话语 如今用在球场上造成很大争议 明天记者会后联盟应该会做出惩处
开玩笑开大了 ......
