ESPN host SAS Stephen A. Smith made this remark on the program !First Take! last Monday morning, it is harmful to use a foreign player like Otani from Japan as the face of the league.It doesn’t help that the face of the league is a child who can’t interview in English and writes an interpreter.
I ate all the swearing and eventually apologized on Twitter, but I apologize right now.When I saw
development, I had no intention of offending any community, especially the Asian community,
and further Otani Shohei.As an African-American,
! stereotypes! I had to raise my sensitivity to this because I was well aware of the damage done to many people in this country.My remarks have failed in this respect, and I am the only one to fail.Otani is one of the brightest stars of all sports.Otani is making a difference because it is also related to inclusiveness and leadership.I had to accept it, but I screwed it up.
At a time when all the violence against the Asian community has been carried out recently,
Although I did not intend to,
My remarks were clearly ignorant and regrettable.
There is no other way.I sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience caused by my comments on this morning’s First Take!
Once again, I’m sorry.I will repeat these expressions tomorrow morning.
