Am I the only one who was irritated by Rick Reilly's ridiculous racial rant while Justin Morneau took his first few swings in the Derby last night?
Honestly, how many of you even noticed that all eight participants in the Derby were caucasian before he started his monologue? And during his rant he made reference to the eight Derby participants as the Kiwanis Club, effectively stereotyping Kwianis as an all-white organization.
Reilly's timing was just as ridiculous as his words. He decided to let his rant fly duing Morneau's time at the plate. Instead of the usual positive build-up for the participant, Reilly told the world why he thinks Morneau shouldn't even be a participant.
In the end, it was sweet justice for Morneau and sweet silence for Reilly.

Report Offensive CommentI am in total agreement with you, what a moron. Way to pick an inappropriate thing to say at an inappropriate time. I'm sure Justin Morneau will let it slide because he's a class act. Small market teams got the hose all night. They did the only interview anyone cared about (the first Hamilton interview) during someone's at bat. Then the ridiculousness of not even showing the intro for Evan Longoria on TV, just straight to his at bat. Then the most astounding, the ignorant comment about race in the derby. For God's sake Grady Siemore's father is African American. I won't even get into the moronic "It's a bad day to be an atheist" BS
