We should not let hispanic players come here at all. They will not go on welfare but odds are their kids and grandkids will .

How did america benefit when albert pujols was allowed in 22 years ago?

It is good to know at least a second language. I agree with him.

The third comes easier. I'm pretty good in German, speak Spanish with my Spanish speaking patients, lived in Italy for a yr. and learned some basic Italian, and for some reason have no problem understanding French when in France, although I've never taken a class in it. I think it's cool understanding other languages!

Some people just cannot learn new languages. This seems like a good idea, require Spanish speakers to learn English and vice versa.. however some people are just no good at new languages.

Another racist dumbfuck doesn't realize more then Mexicans speak Spanish.

Considering all the Cuban, and Latin American player transplants, it's a good idea. Unless they want miscommunication messing up a game, the haters should stop pissing themselves over it.

I've got some Spanish for Derek.

Only if it's essential to MLB. Spanish is not essential to MLB; English IS.



There's no such thing as a Trumptard.

English is needed for MLB? What language do you need to know to throw or hit a slider?

Don’t like Trumptard, Trumpanzee? Tough shit, Trumpsucker.

There are a significant number of hispanic speaking ball players. Hey, one of my friends made supervisor after he learned Spanish. Think his company should have been allowed to require him for promotion?

There are? What language is "hispanic", and who speaks it?

Hey, one of my friends made supervisor after he learned Spanish.

So you say.

If a player can't already speak Spanish, should they be allowed to play at all?

Why Spanish? Baseball is popular in Japan, too.

Because he has players from spanish speaking nations but not from Japan. That's my guess.

If you want people in a predominantly English-speaking nation to speak English, you're a hater, but if you want people in a predominantly English-speaking nation to speak Spanish, you're a hero?

You've obviously never been to Miami.

There's no such thing as a Trumptard.

Then how did the fat, sleazy, lying, low-life, Russian-dick-slurping slob get elected?

Answer: Trumptards.

This is part of a league-wide initiative. According to ESPN, Jeter is a late adopter of the policy.

There are Japanese MLB players.

There are NBA players from countries where English is not the native language.

Likewise the NHL and the soy-infused NFL. Are all those players going to be required to learn Spanish?

It's Miami, dumbfuck.

English is a second language there.
