How about this at the World Series?
Yuli Gurriel returned to the Astros’ dugout, where he put his fingers to the sides of his face and lifted the corners of his eyes — a “slanted eyes” gesture widely regarded as a racist mockery of Asians. Gurriel also used the word “chinito,” or “Chinese boy,” in reference to Darvish, who is of Iranian and Japanese descent.
Gurriel will be suspended without pay for five games at the start of the 2018 season and will have to undergo sensitivity training. He won’t miss any games in the World Series.

Unlike you, I'm not losing any sleep over a tasteless thing a guy did in his own dugout. Yuli Gurriel is a Cuban/Russian guy. He hasn't had his American sensitivity training yet.
I hope Darvish recovers from his hurt feelings.
