He was on his way out anyway from what I've been reading. What a way to go out though. That kinda stuff follows you to whatever network you work for in the future. He already had a lil bit of a reputation of bordering that thin line sorta speak.

I dont see anything wrong with it , he said they have not had the opportunity for education others have had. Just a reason for some liberal somewhere to get his panties in a wad.

He made his living at ESPN by being somewhat controversial his entire time.  He basically puts his two weeks notice in because he's going to fox and gets canned by ESPN.  This way they can say they got rid of him.

Couldn't stand him myself.

I don't know.  I got the point he was making and he wasn't incorrect about the educational situation there. 

Can take ESPN radio off of my presets now.  The only reason I listened during the day was The Herd..

What he said is the truth.  Kids can be drafted at 16 in foreign countries and most are in baseball academies full time way before that.  The Dominican and other Hispanic countries see baseball as their way out, not education.  These baseball academies put very little emphasis on anything other than baseball.  

 

Kids going pro at 16 don't have near the education or life experiences of an American college kid or even an 18 yr old HS graduate.  Until the MLB changes the draft rules for foreign born players this will continue to be the case.
