Maaaaan look, if I’m making 8-12 million dollar over the past several years.. and sitting on millions, they gonna have to just fire me.

I’m not apologising for pointing out the obvious fact that old WHITE Americans are xenophobic and that likely impacts how much they celebrate international stars from different cultures.

fukk that

Does the dude hit home runs? Does the dude steal bases? Does he strike mfers out? Yes he does. Interesting that our media wants people to shut up and dribble and they want players to never celebrate. Now we want their take. Who gives a fukk what these dudes say. If they have something great to say then great. But we want hot takes like this is the 5th Element or some shyt. Its dumb. Next thing yall gone tell me, they hate Tatis and Ronald for the bat flips and step backs. Wrong!

Maybe if dude just want to play ball I,guess but when you have to interact with media I'd say you need to learn English. Do the contractors really need to learn Arabic to do their job? If they do I'd say the same for them too. You going to be somewhere for some real time you should learn the language even if you don't have to. That's for anybody
Most republican talking point I’ve heard in a minute :dead:

American basketball players who cant cut it in the states go overseas all the time to play and don’t speak a lick of language.

Just like the Japanese man were speaking about they are brought over for their athletic talent not knowledge of the home language

the thought of dudes like Ty Lawson and Lance Stephenson going over to Beijing and learning Chinese to talk to the media is laugh out loud funny

Leave the linguistic mental gymnastics that way :camby:

And for the bold - Because there are athletes (who are the same complexion and race as SAS) who go overseas and do the same thing :what:

He not right, its a choice, its not different from white people saying that about hispanics who dont speak english. It would behoove them to do it if they want an easier time here in the country but it should not be degrading and looked down upon for
I’m not a person who defends Steppin’ A Smith, but he was basically saying the older white demographic of baseball fans may not find him marketable, which is what the debate question was. He wasn’t speaking about his personal feelings.

nah no you don’t …you’re only obligation is to the team and interpreters are provided you don’t HAVE to learn English but it’s encouraged for players looking to expand their brand like a Yao Ming.

the funny part is dude’s English is at least a little serviceable and I’m sure Stephen A Smith has no idea because he knows nothing about baseball.

I know cats literally don't have to know English. I was moreso talking about what you mentioned about Yao when I was saying the English part.
