Racist because.....he doesn't agree with Obama? Or he was on the "show your birth certificate" bandwagon? I don't follow the guy much, so maybe there is more to this.braden said:

He's not racist ::facepalm:: Felix Pie was one of his best friends on the Orioles
Does he say stupid things? Sure.

He threw bananas (or banana chips, can't remember) at black teammates when they acted like "animals".
I don't care if they're friends, THASS RAYCESS. You don't have to hate a race to be racist. Scott clearly sees his Latino and black teammates as inferior. He leaves no doubt to that.
EDIT: From the insane ESPN article:
"So I throw bananas in his helmet. Here are my banana chips to remind him that whenever he acts like an animal, 'Hey, that's what other people are thinking. They're just not telling you, but that's what they're thinking about. And I'm telling you so that you're aware of that so you can make a cognitive decision to not behave like that.'"

I refuse to put the Racist label on someone for a one off comment. Granted his comment was very insensitive and was definitely not politically correct, but to label him a racist because of one comment is unnecessary. People throw the racist moniker out way to easily, without thinking of what the title implies.
The definition of Racist is:
noun
1. a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others.
I would say that what he said was stupid and inconsiderate, but not racist per se. Were he to say that all non-anglo players acted like animals, that would be a different matter. He was clearly addressing one player's behavior and not generalizing an entire race.

Gotcha. So one example leads to being racist-that is quite the standard you have there.braden said:
What he did was wrong, but what he did alone does not make him racist.

What he did is pretty funny. I'm sure he was joking around. But I guess it'd be different if a black or Hispanic did the same thing. But because he's white them that makes him a racist. That's pretty funny. I guess cause I think it's funny them that makes me a racist in your eyes. Which for the record I'm not.

Makes it easier when players I hate join teams I hate, just like when A-Roid and Clemens signed with the Yankees. Scott is probably one of the dumbest players in the game, and that says a lot considering some of the other geniuses that are out there.

Hey, I've been a Rays hater for a long time, back when they were the piss-ant Devil Rays, a pathetic excuse for a baseball team that was lucky to win 50 games a year. Just so happens I hate them even more since 2007!
