We did this when we were twelve. These are grown men making millions of dollars. They are supposed to be professional athletes, in a sport which is open to many nationalities. This is amazing racism. Not funny, and you folks defending it are wrong. Didn't you ever watch Star Trek - mature people respect differences. These guys are big babies who will never grow up, I guess.
Of course Chen is not going to be offended? Why? because he probably sees that all the time. If any of you have been around Latinos, they tend to do this gesture or call every single person "Chino" if they have small eyes.
The fact of the matter is, if that was a Black athlete and the person behind them was mocking their skin or pointing out their big noses and lips, many BLACK activists would DEMAND an APOLOGY and a SUSPENSION. It's not about them as teammates, when you're on camera and in uniform, you're representing your organization. This is why Ozzie Guillen was suspended, even though he was using Freedom of Speech.
The clubhouse can get pretty raw, so this is not a big deal, in relation to the atmosphere. But you do have to question the brains of Humberto to bring that smack out on live TV. Are people really that stupid?
This guy is hitting .212 and strikes out about one out of every three times he bats. He's not playing well enough for the KC management to have to put up with his infantile humor. Triple A ball beckons.
It's good to see Chen have a sense of humor and defuse the incident - although Quintero likely did offend many viewers (Asian and otherwise) who were watching the nationally televised broadcast on Fox."
Well maybe those viewers need to grow some and grow up, Chen reacted exactly the correct way.
