I don’t know Norris’ history well enough to know he’s a racist. Is this a thing?
Yeah.
“I think it’s a culture shock,’’ Norris said. “This is America’s game. This is America’s pastime, and over the last 10-15 years we’ve seen a very big world influence in this game, which we as a union and as players appreciate. We’re opening this game to everyone that can play. However, if you’re going to come into our country and make our American dollars, you need to respect a game that has been here for over a hundred years, and I think sometimes that can be misconstrued. There are some players that have antics, that have done things over the years that we don’t necessarily agree with.
“I understand you want to say it’s a cultural thing or an upbringing thing. But by the time you get to the big leagues, you better have a pretty good understanding of what this league is and how long it’s been around.’’

Some posters here need to have a little more respect. I mean GRB has been around for over 12 years, by the time you get here, you need to understand what this forum is about and how long it has been around.

Mentoring and getting up guys asses who need it is a thing and should be on a team- and in a fire house. Probably should not be the guy who has a rep as a racist or culture warrior.
