Now I'm pissed.....I found out a couple of days ago that Larry Krueger, the San Fran radio personality, was fired for saying the Giants have too many "brain dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop nightly". The fact that Krueger and two other employees lost their jobs over this is extremely offensive to me. White males rarely get second chances when they misspeak. Why wasn't Alou outraged two summers ago when one of his own players told a national magazine : "Baseball is in trouble. It's becoming a Latin and White game." I wonder who could've said that? It was the same person who, when asked to sign some autographs for a charity auction for cancer victims, refused saying " I don't sign for white people." That's right, none other than Mr. Barry Bonds. Does anybody else detect a double standard? John Rocker saw his career trashed for making idiotic comments about homosexuals, yet 49ers RB Garrison Hearst received no backlash for saying " I don't want any faggots on my team. I know this might not be what people want to hear, but that's a punk. I don't want any faggots in this locker room." Former Cowboys lineman Nate Newton can say that Florida produces better football players because they are descendants of Africans bred during slavery, yet Jimmy "The Greek" said basically the same thing only to find himself unemployed.........things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
