Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie "Dumbfuck" Guillen! :dunce:

And he doesn't need "sensitivity training," he needs a 2 x 4 over his pointy head. :-)

Sensitivity Training Ordered For White Sox Manager
Manager Makes Derogatory Comments About Journalist

CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was fined Thursday by commissioner Bud Selig and ordered to attend sensitivity training for making derogatory comments about a reporter this week.

Guillen has apologized for using a derogatory term in referring to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti on Wednesday. That didn't stop him from uttering further criticism of the writer.

Guillen went into a profanity-laced tirade against Mariotti before Tuesday night's game against St. Louis. Guillen called him a number of names, including a derogatory term often used to describe someone's sexual orientation.

Guillen called Mariotti ''a piece of s---'' and a "f------ fag,'' according to the Chicago Sun Times.

(snip)

Jay's a piece of s---,'' Guillen said Wednesday, according to the Sun-Times. ''If he wants to know, he should be talking to me here right now. If he were a man, he'd be here ... Why he's so afraid to show up to the ballpark? When you're afraid to do something, you feel guilty about something, then tell him we'll pay his cab. Tell him to tell us where he lives, and we'll bring him to the ballpark and we'll have a conversation. But that's the way he is. He's garbage, still garbage, going to die as garbage. Period.''

The reporter didn't seemed phased by the comments.

In his latest column, Mariotti wrote,
"Personally, I can shrug it off as an occupational hazard, knowing I'm called meaner things at the coffee stand every morning. I also know it places me on an extraordinarily long list of people the Blizzard has dissed or launched into, including Magglio ("Venezuelan '') Ordonez, Buck Showalter, Phil Garner, Sean Tracey, the Los Angeles Angels, every American League umpire, the reporter he threatened to rub out last winter and, by not showing up at the White House for a ceremony, the President of the United States.

Ozzie? He makes Mark Cuban seem like Virginia McCaskey."


The reporter went on to call White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf an "enabler who is letting Ozzie run amok." Mariotti also said that Guillen is an embarrassment to a city, a franchise and a sport and called for his suspension.

Guillen also went off on a profanity-filled tirade last season against former teammate and fellow Venezuelan Magglio Ordonez, who left the White Sox and joined the Detroit Tigers.
