TORONTO (AP) -- Major League Baseball is checking reports that Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar played Saturday's game against Boston wearing eye-black displaying a homophobic slur written in Spanish.

"you're a faggot"
*sigh* when does it stop?
Who was he talking to, and was it true? jus sayin..
Maybe he was trying to COMPLIMENT the other players. “Congratulations, you are a homosexual!” Gay pride, you know.
The witchhunt has begun.

Homophobic shouldn’t even be a word.
Actually, the message refers to a British meatball commonly made of pork offal.
(look it up. :)

Then again, maybe he was ‘advertising’
Much ado about nothing.
Without my glasses I thought the headline said “hoplophobic slur.” For a moment, there was hope.
