					<description>Mariotti has written &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay22.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a rebuttal&lt;/a&gt; regarding the incident. The most interesting part:

&lt;i&gt;Obviously, Guillen hasn't learned his lesson about using such ugly language. He hasn't because his boss, Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, is an enabler who is letting Ozzie run amok, whether it's offending homosexual groups that want Guillen punished or saying someone should &quot;shoot the [bleep]'' after Jason Grimsley served as a steroids informant in a federal investigation. Reinsdorf, as I pointed out last year, is co-chairman of Major League Baseball's Equal Opportunity Committee. Years ago, he and Bud Selig led the charge to oust Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott after she made racial and ethnic slurs. Sports and America are better off for that deed, yet where is Reinsdorf when his own manager has slurred the gay community not once but twice? Isn't Reinsdorf hypocritical when he refers to Guillen as &quot;the Hispanic Jackie Mason'' and asks us to take everything he says in a humorous light?&lt;/i&gt;</description>

					<description>This is an outrage. What if Mariotti had written a piece and used a derogatory word for a Hispanic? They didn't take care of this jerk any of the other times he spouted off (and this isn't the first time he's used a derogatory word for homosexual), they had better do it now.</description>
