Ozzie Guillen gets fine, sensitivity training for slur
The Dirt:
Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen on Thursday was fined an undisclosed amount of money and ordered to undergo sensitivity training for his use of a derogatory term aimed at Chicago Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti.
“On Tuesday night, Ozzie Guillen used language that is offensive and completely unacceptable,” commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. “Baseball is a social institution with responsibility to set appropriate tone and example. Conduct or language that reflects otherwise will not be tolerated. The use of slurs embarrasses the individual, the club and the game.”
The Spin: No suspension - just like we thought. It would be great if we could tape Guillen in training and turn it into a reality TV show…anyone for Queer Eye for the Straight Guillen?
