Ah yes, there's always TWO sides to every story!
Ala the George Zimmerman story
First of all, this is the way that the Huffington Post Reported it! And, why am I not surprised?
On Friday, Young got the attention of teams throughout the big leagues. He was arrested at the Tigers' New York hotel on an aggravated harassment charge. Police said Young yelled an anti-Semitic remark during a physical confrontation and was intoxicated. He did not play in the Tigers' 7-6 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.
The Hate crime, and disorderly part of the story was swept right under the rug!
And this is the way that the New York Post reported it!
" NY Post, 26-year-old Young was approached by a who appeared Jewish
... when the Major League Baseball star exploded in anger ... screaming, "Fucking Jews! Fucking
Jews!"Detroit Tigers star Delmon Young was arrested in NYC this morning after allegedly screaming a bunch of anti-Semitic slurs at a man in a yarmulke ... and then fighting another dude.
Young was standing outside of the Hilton New York at about 1:30 in the morning, where he was staying ahead of a series with the New York Yankees that starts Friday night. Nearby, a group of about four Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a YARMULKE AND A STAR OF DAVID around his neck. After, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said. It was not clear whom Young was yelling at, but he got into a tussle with a 32-year-old man sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police
Update of this story! Delmon Young charged with hate crime after making anti-Semitic statements
According to the report, Young was charged with assault in the third degree. The person he was alleged to have pushed to the ground suffered scratches on his arm and was treated at the scene.
There have been no similar incidents involving Young since he joined the Tigers prior to the trade deadline last summer, but he has had some issues in the past. Young was suspended for 50 games during the 2006 season while in the minor leagues for hitting an umpire with a thrown bat after Young was ejected from a game for being called out on strikes.
A 26 years old, 6'3", 205 pound Professional Athletic "Pushing" a man wearing a yarmulke to the ground, yelling anti-Semitic remark during a physical confrontation while intoxicated. and they call it "allegedly scuffling with a 32-year-old man and pushed him to the ground, causing minor scratches"?
A WONDERFUL role model isn't he!
I guess that someone needs a few hours of Community Service?
Yes, indeed, there certainly is a Double Standard!
It used to be that "Baseball, Inc" got rid of players who did such things.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding AOW, forget what "USED TO BE" it's a new world out there today!
ReplyDeleteYoung is a great role model for thugs, bullies and gangsters.
ReplyDeleteIn my humble, but correct, opinion, he should not be allowed to play baseball.
Joe. he belongs in Jail Period!! Along side of Mel Gibson, another "great role model"
ReplyDeleteTo digress, just a bit; I've never understood why so many Jewish people are Democrats. It doesn't seem to fit their work/business ethic and needless to say,as of late, Democrats have proven to be no friend of Iseral.
ReplyDeleteBoggles MY mind as well Jon
ReplyDeleteIf I say I hate the media for the way they twist the news to support their own agendas, would that be a hate crime?
ReplyDelete"minor scratches"...and he belongs in the MINOR LEAGUES (particularly if they put him in that crap hotel in NYC, I must say!)
