i echo everything straw just said and let me add this: given the volitile nature of bradley, are we to believe that he's hearing all these racial taunts and just taking it? this is a guy who once slammed a water bottle into the stands. i think that if people were really getting personal with him, he would have flown off the handle by now. this is a dude who thinks the umpires are out to get him, who was called a piece of shit by his own manager, who's been traded or let go by every team he's ever played for almost on a yearly basis. but people are making racist comments and he's just sucking it up? please.
i'm sorry, but the perceived racism just doesn't fly. he's getting booed on a daily basis and instead of admitting it's been because he's sucked and because of some of the things he's said, he's trying to say it's because he's black, just like hawkins and jones. play well, shut up, and none of this is an issue. trust me, if he was white, he'd be getting the same treatment. ask bob howry.
