Baseball Umpire Chases Player Around Field
--NY Times--
In terrible echoes of the Jim Crow era, a baseball umpire has today disgraced the sport of baseball by
chasing a young black baseball player around the baseball field.
"Hey! What are you doing? I thought we were done with this shit? You don't own me."
"What the fuck dude?" said the young player. "Why was the umpire chasing me around the field? This is a clear-cut case of racism in action. That umpire should be held accountable for his ludicrous behaviour."
The umpire has excused his behaviour by stating he was "bored as hell" stuck at home plate so impulsively grabbed a glove "to get in the swing of things" and started "chasing the black man."
