Feeling the hate this morning

yendiSo, on waking up, I learned that the Mets had traded Keppinger for a Royals player named Ruben Gotay. Knowing nothing about him I figured I'd Google him, and hit upon this Wikipedia entry.
Needless to say, I've edited it to remove the last sentence. That racist claptrap came from IP 72.225.168.221 (no login, of course), which resolves to cpe-72-225-168-221.si.res.rr.com as a host name (in other words, some putz on his home broadband connection). No way to tell who the moron is, but it's an annoying way to start a Monday morning. I'll be keeping an eye on the entry to see if the asshole returns.
Oh, as far as the trade goes, I'm indifferent. Gotay doesn't look like anything special, but it's not like Kepp was contributing all that much.

Kind of far for a commute...

But it's out there.
It's an excuse for people to hate Omar and the players.
Oh, and it goes back to the underlying resentment that some people of certain hues have with their sports becoming having fewer people like them.
However, what is interesting is that of the big three sports, baseball is probably the most white.
