It turns out that a Japanese pitcher for the Indians, years ago, participated in a Gay Japanese porno. So if you watch Late Night TV shows. You've got six months to God knows when of Homophobic, Jingoistic and Sex obsessed media driven jokes coming:(


I hate the fucking media.

[Fenris]

1. WE ALL hate the fucking media.

[LSdemocrat]

2. actually that's why he's here

No team in Japan would give him a fair chance because of the video.

3. Well good for the Indians

Maybe I'll have to watch them instead of the Reds. The Reds have the payroll to the equivelent of the spare change on my dresser:(

8. Your spare change tops the Indians payroll

You might as well stick with the Reds. Since the Indians were sold several years ago, they have downsized everything. All the well paid good players are gone and we are back to "rebuilding".

[oxymoron]

4. Damn. I'm sure glad the guy apologized.

"I did participate in a video and I regret it very much," he said. "It was a one-time incident that showed bad judgment and will never be repeated. I was young, playing baseball, and going to college and my teammates and I needed money.

"Frankly, if I were more mature and had really thought about the implications of what I did, it never would have happened."

Through an interpreter, Tadano added: "I'm not gay. I'd like to clear that fact up right now."


Thank God he isn't actually gay.

6. Yeah he's just "pay for Gay" I think

:eyes:

5. I hate the fucking homophobic RW media.

Pisses me off. :grr:

[Exultant Democracy]

7. I heard about this a while ago and I guess it was just

wishfully thinking on my part but I didn't think it was going to get any traction.

[sasquatch]

9. It will once he reaches the Majors

Then the hack writers of late night tv will just hack'em to pieces.

[Bertha Venation]

10. but-but-but-there are no homosexuals in Japan

At least that was the official position of the Japanese government for years.

[sasquatch]

11. That's the same positition of the religous right

:eyes:

[sasquatch]

12. Kick
