Ridiculous. Then why don’t they ban Kikè Hernandez for not changing his “offensive” first name?
How can a guy that’s lived in Cuba most of his life know that it’s only acceptable to be racist to white people in America? Leave him alone.
Raffi Torres begs to differ. When they do suspend a player in the playoffs they suspend him IN the playoffs. The only time those suspensions hit the next regular season is if they don’t have enough playoff games to finish.
And racist crap is racist crap. No sport needs it, especially not on their biggest stage.
Raffi did what... head shot while leaving his feet?
Different situation... different outcome.
Suspended due to action in a playoff game, suspension went into effect immediately and cost the player playoff games. That’s the way the NHL has always done it. That’s the way the MLB has always avoided. The MLB is wrong.
