My brother is trying to argue it wasn't a racist gesture.

Then again he also thinks drones are spying on our poor-rear end home :suicide:

While I concede that racism against Asians is particularly tenacious and rampant while being subtle, and there should be zero tolerance for racism and whatnot, I think the punishment for the gesture has far exceeded the crime at this point. People are essentially ignoring Darvish's response.

Does he think you guys are important or does he just think everyone's getting spied on?

Cause that's a lot of drones.

And like, are there multiple drones per house or do I get to sneak away if they're watching you?

These are important questions.

He got booed twice. He got at least one standing O. It doesn't seem that rough.

I'm not posting at all about baseball and imagkne that's super annoying.

Verlander is sick and I feel a little stupid that I was happy the Yankees got Gray instead of him. I mean, long term maybe that's right but it feels very dumb this playoffs.

Which response are they ignoring? The one where he said it was disrespectful and Gurriel should be punished for it? I don't know where this narrative that Darvish was cool with the gesture comes from, but he was obviously bothered by it, based on his response

The punishment from the MLB was appropriate and the best they were capable of. People wanted him to miss a World Series game and the Astros could have done that and probably should have. But I doubt it would have stopped the boos
