Seattle Mariners President and CEO Kevin Mather resigned yesterday. On February 5 th, he spoke via Zoom to the Seattle-based Rotary Club. Mather told them in somewhat of a joking fashion that one of their former Japanese players spoke terrible English along with the Mariners' Julio Rodriguez, the No. 9 overall prospect in MLB — not to go into depth with what he said to this group, because it was callous and moronic. After all this country has been through with bigotry and disrespect, this guy says this hurtful and shameful stuff to a Rotary club. All I can say is this guy got caught up in his own ego, status and the prestige of his job with the Mariners.
