Is John Sterling’s Ichiro Home Run Call Racist?
Ichiro doing the thumbs up/thumbs down from Gladiator to determine Sterling’s fate as an outed racist.
“The Yankees rising sun says sayonara!”
Is Sterling’s call for an Ichiro home run racist or not? It’s definitely bad, and it lacks any semblance of creativity, but that’s to be expected. Is it racist?
1 for Nah, let it slide. John is just that inappropriate relative at the family party still living in the 60′s OR 10 for yes… how is he getting away with this?

Nice to see one NY team blogger takes his job seriously. T2 goes down, maybe for his career and not one blog from 610. http://10over12.blogspot.com/
There is nothing the least bit racist about that call whatsoever. Stupid as it may be, Ichiro is Japanese, hence the Japanese theme. Japan in the land of the rising sun and everyone knows what sayonara means. While I appreciate the real time Yankee updates, this one is fucking stupid.
I asked my Japanese wife. She said it’s not racist.
Granderslam was a masterpiece the other night.
whats supposed to be racist about it.
I understand KFC is a racist KKK member and will probably be put down for his bullshit ways, but no need to overcompensate and be ultra politically correct
Seriously 610 was the worst possible choice to be the Giants blogger.
how the fuck is this not racist? without him ever saying the name of the player i can infer who he is based on racial stereotypes 100% of the time. that said, fuck niggers, spics, japs, chincs, jews, boarder jumpers, etc. fuck all ya’ll this is america where only white people can live because we were the first ones here to rape and almost kill an entire country of people. fuck you we buy more guns to prevent gun tragedies that wouldn’t have occurred if not for gun control, we tell women when they can or cannot have kids, and we damn well refer to asians as the rising sun!
Quit being such a faggot.
dfreshmaker always speaks with such eloquence. you stupid idiotic fucking piece of shit
Someone’s mad…
yeah at you being such an ignorant fuck
it’d only be racist if the call was “Yankees’ bucktoothed nip says you pay now round ball!”

Awww.

sorry to be a liberal marine but suck it. we’re a fucked up country with fucked up ideals, but i intend to try and bring the us away from you conservative commie fucks. LONG LIVE MAO!!!
Who gives a shit. Sterling sucks balls.
Tautau, nobody asked who you are or where you’re from, and yet you felt the need to share with us all that you’re a) drunk, b) in Iraq, c) a Marine, and d) a liberal disappointed with the “ideals” of the United States. Shut the fuck up already.
oh and your dads a drunk, your moms a whore, your sister a cunt, and your brother an asshole. your grandma is a bitch and your grandpa fucked dogs. you my friend are a class a citizen. why do you troll blogs sober ya fuckwad; do u really think i am any of those things? or if i even exist at all?!?!?!
common nigger loving chuck berry douchebag
Tautau, go step on an IED.
i did and you’re glorious god saved me. he said if i only refute anything logical he will become a zombie which will you force you to believe that at the end of your life you will either face fiery doom or eternal bliss; obviously the world can be lumped into just two discernible factions and we will all either suffer doom or eternal bliss. that’s what a caring god would do!
Christ man, we get it…. you like getting attention from people for once in your life even if it’s by making up things on the internet for shock value. Sweet life you got going there
Sterlings the worst announcer that has ever lived. I’d rather have that “boom goes the dynamite” kid calling Yankees games. Also, can the Yankees stop losing every fucking 1 run game?
This is a very racist call and it makes me sad to be an American. We should treat ballplayers with more respect. Ichiro has a cute ass.
Anyone who remotely considers that racist is 100% retarded.
Racist? No. Typically idiotic home run call from John Sterling? Yup…
how about “The Yanks new nip with a round trip!”
you guys are fucking GAY in neeww yaaawwwk. who gives a shit
