"Furman. You have a legitimate argument here. Baseball is losing some of its traditions. No one can argue that. But it's a shame that you have to stoop to pathetic racist language to make a point. It's fine to argue that opening day should begin in the U.S. But really, what does Pearl Harbor have to do with anything? Really? You're saying that because we fought the Japanese in WWII, they can't be part of baseball or God forbid they'd get an opening day game. The baseball played in Japan is some of the best on the planet (witness the World Classic) so if any country deserves to get one opening day game, Japan has as much right. This game is global now. Don't you see that? Can you imagine how mediocre our U.S. game would be if we kept out foreigners? Is that what you really want? Cuz that ship sailed a long time ago. By referencing the bombs at Pearl Harbor and the Latin ladies making baseballs, you're using race to a make a point that doesn't need it. Instead, you're coming off as an ignorant racist who appears to have the idae of people who are not white Americans meddling in your game. Give it up. By the way, were you this outraged when Dirk Nowitzki won the MVP? What? A German winning our highest individual honor? Didn't we fight them in WWII? And now he's dominating our game, a sport we invented? You have a point to make and I defend your right to say it. But get with the times for two seconds and ditch the veiled racist crap. I'd like to think you're better than that."

the guy who wrote that comment is God.

remembering actual history make one a racist ? That is far sadder to note than what was written in the article.

Until we develop a transporter, playing games that count across the date line is just stupid.
