Sourdough fuckboy Colin Cowherd said some dumb, racist shit about Dominicans on his show yesterday, and now, according to a USA Today report, the MLB players’ union is feeling pretty heated about the whole thing.




USA Today’s Jorge Ortiz spoke to a person “close to” the MLBPA, who made it clear that the union is angry with Cowherd as well as ESPN and Fox—his current and future employers, respectively—for not yet having issued any kind of apology.

ESPN and Fox are national rightsholders to major league games, and Fox carries its jewel events, the All-Star Game and World Series.
