Or maybe you believe that Donaldson was simply poking fun at Anderson by calling the Black player \u201cJackie,\u201d which Donaldson said stemmed from the White Sox standout once telling Sports Illustrated he feels \u201clike today\u2019s Jackie Robinson\u201d in terms of breaking the \u201chave-fun barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The truth \u2014 whether it was a long-running joke that went sideways or a malicious, racist taunt \u2014 hopefully will be uncovered by Major League Baseball, which is investigating the circumstances that led to the benches being emptied Saturday during Yankees-White Sox, Anderson to be furious and Chicago manager Tony La Russa to say Donaldson used \u201ca racist comment.\u201d More context \u2014 including whether Donaldson indeed had called Anderson \u201cJackie\u201d in the past in a lighthearted manner that was accepted as teasing \u2014 will matter.<\/p>\n<p>But set aside your personal opinions about what you believe transpired and where you draw the line between ribbing and racism. Let\u2019s go through Donaldson\u2019s major league past \u2014 he is new to the Yankees, but not nearly to baseball or controversy \u2014 to see whether, at the moment, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are really not supposed to like me being on the opposing team,\u201d Donaldson told reporters on July 1, 2021, when he first became a hated player in the South Side of Chicago.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
