AllTel C-Phone: #970 • Toll-Free: (800) 969-WFLA

   


OJ Simpson murders his wife, but the jury sees a racist LAPD. Louis Farrakhan’s son is busted on DUI, but the Nation of Islam charges racism.

Now Sammy Sosa is caught using a corked bat, we all saw it, and now a few Major League baseball players say “if you wrote about it in a newspaper, if you talked about it on TV or radio, you are a racist.” I am not joking, the race card has been played, and the biggest name to toss it is Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez.

I guess if the ‘race card defense’ worked for OJ, then it is a good defense to deploy whenever you get caught doing something illegal. Major League Baseball rules state you can not use a corked bat, it does not say “you can not intentionally use a corked bat”, the rule is clear and Sammy is in the wrong, period.

Pedro Martinez is claiming Sammy is a victim! A victim? A victim of what? I would love to be a victim at his salary rate. Please make me a victim.

I think it proves what we have been saying for so many years, there is no feeling of responsibility left in America, it’s always some one else’s fault. Whose fault is it Sammy used a corked bat?

I guess the media forced him into it, after all those racist reporters talked and wrote about the slump Sammy had been in, he had to do something.

That's how I see it!
