    You guys see Stephen A. Smith's comments on Ohtani? What a total scumbag. I don't listen much to him because he's so unbelievably annoying but this stuff was way, way beyond the pale, imo.
    More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

        I have not. I have always despised Smith. he is an ill-informed, bombastic blowhard. How someone who knows so little about so many sports is allowed to, nay, paid millions to talk about him, is a great travesty of tv. When you look up the Peter principle, you see a picture of Smith. Him and Skip Bayliss are the sports equivalent of the worst kind of political pundits. Loud idiots who get paid to enrage half their audiences.

        In other news, Ohtani is an absolute boss. We will be talking about him to our grandkids.

          He clarified(?) his comments in a follow-up video (click the link and scroll down). He still sounds like a moron, but I guess I'm glad it isn't blatant racism.

              Sounded more to me like "sorry I showed my arse and got caught doing it, I wish I didn't get caught" rather than "sorry I said something offensive and I can see how hurtful that is, especially in the current environment, it won't happen again"

                  Amen. I’m still trying to figure out if this clown is borderline racist, or just a pure racist.

                    I'm calling for a comprehensive and partisan audit of this home run derby because it was obviously rigged to prevent Ohtani from winning. Now, i just have to figure out who to call.

                        I told you that Ohtani is tired. He looked completely wiped out. If I had the option to place a bet, I would bet on the NL and the over. Ohtani has difficulty throwing strikes when he is tired and I can see him giving up 3-4 runs in the first inning.

                          Rudy Guiliani losing his lawyer license has really limited my options.

                                I was definitely rooting for Mancini.
