: 7.2000年的今天,John Rocker重返Shea Stadium,700警力严阵以待,Rocker投出完美的第
: 八局并向球迷为他的失言道歉
John Rocker如果是在今年做这种发言 直接被枪杀也不ey
简单说
故事是从1999年的季后赛开始的
在分区决赛中 John Rocker帮球队解除满垒危机后成功把球队带进国联冠军赛
然后在国联冠军赛中，大都会的球迷极尽能事的挑衅Rocker
而战斗力十足的John Rocker也直接各种回呛
然后再加上纽约媒体的推波助澜
最终是由SI的一篇采访报导让整个纽约 甚至整个美国都爆发
以下是当年的一些相关报导

但建议参考WIKI的部分原文
可以看出 如果要说歧视，不如说是Rocker对于纽约的不屑与歧视
而与黑白无关
I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having
to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut
next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next
to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some
20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't
like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times
Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and
Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up
there. How the hell did they get in this country?
当时媒体的焦点都在这一段
基本上如果你只看这一段，会觉得他就是一个混帐的高傲白人
再加上他又是南部白人区长大的球员
很容易给人不好的联想
但实际上他想表达的在下一段
Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you,
throw quarters at you, throw batteries at you and say, "Hey, I did your
mother last night—she's a whore." I talked about what degenerates they were
and they proved me right.
他的反击只是针对大都会球迷对他的人身攻击而以
但毫无疑问的整件事情差点毁了Rocker的人生
才会有700警力护送他上球场的故事
要知道当时勇士队上已经有不少黑人球员
要不是三巨头出来打圆场 可能勇士自己就打起来了
