Bradley says Cubs fan booed him because he was Black

[Ace Bandage]

:Angry Face:

At least that what's he's claiming in Premium Link Upgrade and interview on ESPN. It's a good thing he cleared this up. I thought he was booed because he batted .257, hit 12 homeruns (yes, only fucking 12 ), threw a live ball into the crowd during a game, didn't hustle, jumped into the stands to ****** a fan, beat up his pregnant girlfriend, tore an ACL while arguing with an umpire, was suspended for the remaining 15 games last season, and had an altercation with a broadcaster. But you're right, we booed the **** out of you because you're black. Why is it okay for people like this to play the race card as a cop out? Face it, dude. You sucked ass last year. You were a huge embarrassing failure. Own up!

Fuck, I'm probably racist for even questioning him. Fuck you, Milton! I hope you have as much success with your new team as you did last year: absolutely zero. What a useless piece of gutter trash. No wonder you're on your 9th team in 11 years. Maybe you're the problem! </rant>

Excerpt from the article:

Bradley, who was traded to the Mariners for Carlos Silva and cash on Dec. 18, was asked if Chicago is a tough place to play for African-Americans.

"Well, I mean unless you go out there and you're Superman -- you're Andre Dawson, you're Ernie Banks, you're in the Hall of Fame -- then it's going to be tough," Bradley said. "People are just the way they are.

"When you get paid a lot of money to play this game, they expect miracles. And when you don't go out there and perform like that, then people don't like it. People don't want to see a guy that's brash and cocky and a little arrogant and kind of does his own thing making a lot of money. They were like, 'He doesn't deserve that.'"

Bradley was asked if race played a role.

"I got the same mail LaTroy [Hawkins] probably got; the same mail Jacque [Jones] got," Bradley said. "Every time I got mail, I handed it to the PR guy and said, 'Here it goes.'

"I was getting so much until I didn't even have to open up the letter to know what it was, I could see from the envelope. I could just tell, you get an envelope, no address on it, no postmark, it's just in your mail. How does that get in your cubby hole? I don't know how that happens."

Note: I wanted to post this on ESPN, but it was too long of a response and they don't allow profanity. This post required profanity.
