The Toronto Blue Jays suspended Yunel Escobar for three games on Tuesday after he wore eye-black tape inscribed with an anti-gay slur during Saturdays game at the Rogers Centre. The salary forfeited by Escobar during his suspension will go to You Can Play and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Honestly its been a terrible experience in my life and career, Escobar said through a translator. Its something Im sorry for and something I wont do again.
The player said he was embarrassed by his actions.
It was just a joke, Escobar said through the translator. It was my idea but it wasnt directed at anyone in particular.
Escobar said he has friends who are gay and has nothing against homosexuals.

If he'd had "Kill those who insult the Prophet", how would that turn out (aside from the question of how much eye black that would take)?

Better yet, he should just declare himself a muzzie.
He could then insult gays all he wanted, and our limp-d*ck MSM would bend over (per their checklist.)

Baseball has always been boring and gay.
The latest acknowledgement shouldn’t surprise anyone.

A close-up photo posted on Twitter by Toronto resident James Greenhalgh shows the words TU ERE MARICON Spanish for Youre a faggot printed in white on the black tape Escobar was wearing below his eyes. I'm sorry, but I LOL.

“The salary forfeited by Escobar during his suspension will go to You Can Play and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.”
Escobar simply expresses his Christian Pro Famly views and his team retaliates by embarrassing him, suspending him and giving the money he deserves to some Pro Sodomite group.

Given that Escobar is an important part of Toronto’s offense, I would be upset were I in Baltimore or Tampa. This gives the Yankees a rather significant advantage over the Orioles and Rays the next three games.

Or if you like that boring game where failing 2/3 of the times makes you a success.
