Isn't it hilarious that the two major league sports teams in the "most progressive" city, are involved in the most "insensitive" situations? The 49er stupidity and now this.....haha....

I wonder if Omar Visquel got pissed off when various leftists referred to President Bush as the equivalent of Hitler?

OK, so I figured the "Caribbean" thing was what set everybody off and I couldn't figure out what the Cream of Wheat thing was about. Why was that offensive.

The Cream of Wheat box — and old advertisements for the product — have traditionally shown a black man named Rastus wearing a chef's hat and serving a steaming bowl of the hot cereal to a group of white children.

Oh, for heaven's sake!

You have a manager in Felipe (Alou) whose mind has turned to Cream of Wheat

Ok, I'm a Giants fan and I listen to KNBR--or used to when I could pick it up at night and I'm not a big fan of Larry Kreuger. As for his comment about Felipe....well, let's just say that as a Giants fan I have less and less confidence in him as this season goes along. But that's just me.
