Four years before taking Major League Baseball's All-Star Game away from Atlanta to protest Georgia's new election law, Commissioner Rob Manfred pandered to "woke" activists by overreacting to one situation while underreacting to a far worse one. Manfred suspended a player who childishly mocked an opponent's ancestry yet ignored another who pulled a gun on a woman, leading to his arrest for felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Five weeks before his arrest, that player became the major league's first to kneel during the national anthem as a protest. This tale of double standards begins Oct. 27, 2017. In the third game of the World Series, the Houston Astros' Yulieski Gurriel hit a home run off the Los Angeles Dodgers' Yu Darvish, a native of Japan. After Gurriel returned to the dugout, cameras caught him manipulating his eyes to imitate Asian facial features and describing the pitcher as a "chinito," Spanish for "Chinese boy."
