    Racist or not, Donaldson has always been a dick

    He literally compares him to a universally revered black american hero. Obnoxious maybe, but that just is not racist in any way shape or form

    Except he didn’t compare him to JR,he sarcastically called him Jackie because the dude has compared himself to JR . I actually think it’s solid in game trash talk.

    fair enough, he is an asshole, like Browning said. But calling him racist for it was really pouring gas on the situation needlessly.

    Yep, was just in a bad mood and needed an excuse to jump off.

    Figures, been a few years since I've been to NY and thought I'd get a break from the Florida heat. Nope, just as hot up here.

    Yeah I mean there’s an element of racial undertones when it’s said with a smugness to your opponent. Especially from a guy with as punchable a face as Donaldson said.

    Way overblown though. And the White Sox are pussies for not hitting him right in the back in the same at bat.
