this doesn't make sense he didn't come here as an immigrant he came here to work as a contractor and go back to japan....

should American contractors in Iraq oil fields need to know Arabic?
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

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


Nah he is right if he is speaking from a marketing perspective for baseball, it would better if he spoke English

I hated watching a boxing match or ufc and the interview come after the fight and they gotta have a translator.

it’s cool everyonce in awhile but for someone that’s the face of the league it would be annoying

Honestly he is right, the Dominican starts sell because of the latinos in the US that love baseball, it's not the same with the asian community.

So the player speaking English wouldn’t help market him to a wider American audience?
