    Foul (His comments were not well placed but people are sensitive)
    Im dominican and agree with him about the education being awful in DR, the country does not have a history of allocating serious resources to it, instead they focus on tourism which brings in more money at the moment. I talk to my cousins about education and baseball all the time, as far as kids being taken out of school at a young age to do nothing but play baseball. So I agree with that part of what he is saying. The reason I voted foul is because he basically said baseball is a "dumb ? sport" for lack of a better term and thats just too generalized and ignorant to come from the mouth of a veteran sports reporter. What about the college kids that play here.

    I see why Fox sports hired him now.. He's views are perfectly right in line with their parent company News Corp.. I won't be surprised if Faux News decides to give him.. A weekly segment on their network to help promote that trash ass sports network & his radio show on fox sports radio...

    everyone who is a conservative and lives in the south hates colin tho. everyone in comments and on emails calls him a liberal. dude has defended the nba and pointed out racial biases of white callers. If anything hes usually the opposite of anything on fox news.

    Yeah he grew up in like Seattle Washington I think. I've lived there when I was stationed at McChord AFB. Even now that place is ? hippie central.

    He got a lil hoity toity once he got some money but he damn sure ain't conservative.

    Racist? All white people got it in em. But I can give him the benefit of the doubt on this one

    People think cowherd a racist because if you didn't know who he was and just seen him on the street he kinda look like one. He got that pointy ass racist face like bill oreilly

    It's a third world country where only the wealthy receive education. It's cold blooded but he's right. It's not nuclear science.

    But ain't ppl from the DR racist towards black and don't even claim their African heritage?

    That's pretty much the case. They are ostracizing Haitians and driving them out as well...even if they were born in the DR.

    You say that as if it's the general population pushing this and not sugar plantation owners trying to drive out the Haitians so they can avoid paying them any sort of pension or other compensation
