Sure. Again, everything is racist. Perhaps his batting average was low and that asessment was a racist act. Maybe his behavior was not conducive to the team winning ballgames and was therefore racist.

Hint- if Atilla the Hun could bat and keep his mouth shut off the field, he would start on any major league team.

Hint. I was being sarcastic. Trying to play on the current political environment. Surely nothing Milton has done wrong is performance wise.

Sorry- saying that his dismissal is racist is exactly what the lefties would say in all seriousness. It shows how ridiculous the left has become when, in another time, a statement that would be taken obviously as a joke has become a routine and normal accusation by the left.

I do not see any racism,Bradley has had trouble almost where ever he goes.When in Cleveland he was warned about not running hard to first base no matter what.He did not listen and loped his way to first and then made a big production on his punishment.Cleveland solved the problem by trading him to another team,what were they supposed to do?Was he supposed to get special treatment and be able to ignore the manager?

Being paid 30 million dollars to perform your duties as expected is to much to ask?
He was signed as a free agent and paid big bucks to perform and he has NOT performed. In fact, he has been known to be lazy, not running out grounders, pulling a Manny Ramirez and being lazy in the field.
Then slamming the fellow teammates and corporation added to his poor performance is what lead to his canning.


Chicago signed the switch-hitting Bradley to provide balance in the lineup, but he struggled throughout his first season with Chicago, batting .257 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs.

He just has not lived up to his potential and his season has been terrible and he is finding a way to lay blame on someone else.

Is was not worth 30 million dollars for 2 years in the first place. He should consider himself lucky to even have had a contract as poorly as he has played in the last couple of years.

Face it Milton, you are washed up and need to blame one person for your not being worthy of the 30 mils, yourself!

Racism has nothing to do with this at all. Performance and values is what is it all about.

I'd bet a doller he's broke & living under a bridge in 10 years.

That is what I was going off of.

So in short, you are trolling.

The issue of race and racism deserves serious discussion, which is why I rarely participate is such discussions on C-D, and this certainly isn't one of them.
