Not Stephen A, but semi-related: Ozzie Guillen said the same thing about how Latinos are thrown into the wolves and judged on their English-speaking. But Asian players "get a pass" and get to have interpreters.

I think Ozzie is speaking to a much larger problem that isn't the fault of any Asian players. It should be very okay for Latino players needing an interpreter too. Anyways, not to sully thread either, but this take reminded me a lot of Ozzie's but for different reasons.

And they took it? They took the money from someone who uses an interpreter?
