Barry Bonds Might as Well Play for the Kleveland Klan
Barry Bonds is a racist, John Rocker is not
According to the above article, Barry Bonds, who was quoted by one source (Ron Kittle) as saying "I don't sign for white people" is more of a racist than John Rocker who said in print (Sports Illustrated):
On ever playing for a New York team: "I would retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you're [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."
and
On New York City itself: "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
and
In passing, he calls an overweight black teammate "a fat monkey." Asked if he feels any bond with New York Knicks guard Latrell Sprewell, notorious for choking coach P.J. Carlesimo two years ago, Rocker lets out a snarl of disgust. "That guy should've been arrested, and instead he's playing basketball," he says. "Why do you think that is? Do you think if he was Keith Van Horn -- if he was white -- they'd let him back? No way." Rocker is rarely tongue-tied when it comes to bashing those of a race or sexual orientation different from his. "I'm not a racist or prejudiced person," he says with apparent conviction. "But certain people bother me."
and finally,
"So many dumb asses don't know how to drive in this town," he says, Billy Joel's New York State of Mind humming softly from the radio. "They turn from the wrong lane. They go 20 miles per hour. It makes me want -- Look! Look at this idiot! I guarantee you she's a Japanese woman." A beige Toyota is jerking from lane to lane. The woman at the wheel is white. "How bad are Asian women at driving?"
Barry isn't merely an asshole, but a racist of a larger degree than John Rocker.
Bonds' marriage to a white woman at the time of his comments? Obviously a hate crime.
Bonds' two children born to a white mother? Obviously Bonds berates them daily for being mongrels.
Barry Bonds, you sir are worse than Hitler. The only difference is that we know for certain, thanks to Ron Kittle, that you committed the crimes you were accused of.*
*This is obviously a joke, please don't label me a holocaust denier.
