    Ozzie at it again....

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2494491

    I don't like Jay Mariotti either, but this is going to far. I do like the dancing shoe's Ozzie put on to get around his comment though.

    wow this guy is becoming the biggest tool in all of baseball...seriously. If I ever go to Venezuela I'll make sure that when i step off the plane i'll call the first person I see a "fag" and then see the response I get.

    HA, I also love the comment about how he has many gay friends, and "attends WNBA games and a Madonna concert". LMAO

      Guillen certainly likes to stir up controversy doesn't he?

      Personally I think he should be suspended for the comment. I don't care if "fag" means something else in his country it's still offensive to the extreme IMO.

        I have absolutely had it with this f***ing guy. Someone needs to seriously beat the piss outta him.

        Sooner or later he will realize this isn't Venezuela.

          I laughed at that as well.

          I guess I never realized WNBA games and Madonna concerts were a breeding ground for homosexuals.

              Actually the WNBA actively gears their promotion and advertising towards gays and lesbians (mostly lesbians) so on that count you can say it's a breeding ground for homosexuals.


              I don't get the Madonna one tho as she was every man's fantasy for a while there.

                Should be fun seeing the ChiSox fans trying to rationalize this.

                      he's a tool... he'll get his someday...

                      There is no other manager or coach in sports I hate worse than Ozzie... with the exception of Coach K... but that's a whole other topic altogether.

                        wouldn't you know it... I went to the White Sox's fan board on mlb.com and guess... Everyone thought it was funny and anyone that speaks out against it they call worse names **shocked**

                        The Sox have quickly become the most hated fans in sports if you ask me.

                        Serves them right.

                          Just for fun, and since I'm a White Sox fan, I'll do my best to rationalize this and make everyone happy. On a side note, I'm not sure how one could describe White Sox fans as Hillbillies. Have you ever been to Chicago? Not a hill to be found. Though I do appreciate the irony of displaying outrage at someone using a derogatory term against a group while referring to another group as "racist hillbillies". Good stuff.

                          First off, having brought a championship to Chicago, Guillan now pretty much has a free pass from White Sox fans to do or say anything for the rest of his life as long as it's not a direct attack on us as a whole. Now those Sox fans who also happen to be either gay or a bundle of sticks may have a different view right now as is their right to do so. I try to make it a habit not to be offended for other people.

                          Though I certainly don't condone Ozzie calling anyone a fag, or really any childish name for that matter, I really don't consider it a huge deal. Mostly because it's simply immature and people that play sports for all their adult life aren't by their nature the most mature of people. Even though he's a public figure, I hate to think the words of a baseball manager have much effect on society as a whole. Let's face it, this is what guys do. We're generally immature, especially when we're in or around a locker room.

                          As far as Mariotti goes, I personally find him to be the worst type of sportswriter. I've never understood how a man who seems to hate every aspect of sports ever got into the business. Does that make it alright to call him names in public? Of course not. However, I do understand why, after so many years of reading the trash Mariotti spews, Guillan would lash out at him. The fact is, he was wrong in doing so. He'll likely apologize. The world as we know it will keep turning.

                          For all those who are highly offended by Guillan as a whole and will now hate him for all time I have to ask two questions. First, would you as a sports fan prefer that every coach and player give us all stock answers pulled from the same "meaningless answers to sports interview questions," or do you find some amount of entertainment in hearing such classic comments as Guillan trying to prove he has gay friends by saying he has attended WNBA games and Maddona concerts? I look to sports for entertainment and Ozzie is nothing if not entertaining. Like Ditka before him, he definitely seems the type that will likely step on one too many toes and we will be happy to see him on his way in a few years, but such is life. Second, if you have you ever had a friend or family member use the term "fag" to describe someone in a less than complimentory fashion do you still hold it against them to this day?

                          Okay, I tried to do the best job a racist hillbilly is capable of.

                            I like Ozzie and have defended him in the past, but I can't defend him here.

                            He knows better than to call somebody a ****ing fag and pretend it's not offensive in the US.

                            Also what the hell does going to WNBA games and a Madonna concert have to do with sexuality.

                            He needs to understand he's longer in Venezuela.

                              Its impossible. I dont like Marrioti but Ozzie has simply went to far with the comments. I can fully say that I understand why you guys hate him.
