yankpapi said:I dont know what you are talking about and obviously, you dont either. If you dont know about it then you cant talk about it. You said your not U.S. or D.R.
Therefore your opinion is void.
Now off with you!
I think your words under similar situation would be "Yeah, yeah .... whatever!!" - However, I can be a little more expressive & expansive than yourself! The fact that I am not from the US does not make my opinion void. The fact that I am not Dominican does not make my opinion void! I LIVE in the DR & have done for many years (check my records if you doubt that comment) & have watched the spectacle of 'Baseball' both here in the DR AND on several sports programmes from the US. Whereas I would not call myself an expert or 'fanatic' for the 'Game'??, I would state quite confidently that I know sufficient about the game to have an opinion!!
Your comment that you do not know what I am talking about does not indicate too high a level of general comprehension for it is most clear what I am talking about to most others who have contributed since my post. CERTAINLY the fact that YOU do not understand my comments does not in any way indicate that I do not know what I am talking about, this is a foolish supposition on your part!!! It is quite concelvable, even with my limited knowledge of the game, that because I have an open & inquisitive mind, my opinion might be more subjective & plausable than your own.
Was your comment "Now off with you" supposed to indicate scorn or a dismissal of me??? NOT something you should attempt to do with me 'Dear Boy'. Been here too long & am too long in the tooth to be "shoo'ed" off by a beginner to insults & jibes on a noticeboard!! I would gladly debate any reasoned & logical argument you can put before me, but perhaps we should continue your differences with me in another forum? HERE we need to keep it Domincan &/or subject related.
I say again - it is pressure within SPORT itself that causes aggression on the playing fields NOT a particular nationality. Dominican players are no worse than other Latin American, US, Italian, British, Australian or any other nationality - that is purely a suppostion on your part or a desire to inflame with incorrect or ill-considered statements. Grahame.
