Well played, Robinson Cano.
The former New York Yankees second baseman will return to The Bronx tonight for the first time since signing a $240 million contract with the Seattle Mariners in the off-season.
Fans are expected to boo the living heck out of the All-Star, and Jimmy Fallon gave them the opportunity to practice on Monday:
The Tonight Show host constructed a giant poster of Cano on the sidewalk and asked fans to give it their worst. Many obliged… but quickly changed their negative tune when Cano himself emerged from behind the photo.
Pretty hilarious stuff, no?
Gotta give Cano props for being a good sport in this case – and Fallon props for interacting with a minority. Suck on that, Donald Sterling!
Dog Sees Squirrel, Adorably FLIPS OUT
It doesn’t take much for dogs to go crazy.
Sometimes, an owner leaves her bed and her pet alone. Other times, the canine’s master comes home from fighting abroad.
And other times, a Springer Spaniel named Rocco sees a squirrel from inside a car and makes a sound that must be heard to be believed. So go ahead and listen to it now:
Annoying if we owned Rocco? Probably.
Adorable to simply watch when we choose to? Definitely.
This has earned a spot in our Cutest Dogs Ever video countdown:
Donald Sterling Reaction: What Are Celebrities Saying?
The Los Angeles Clippers made their feelings about owner Donald Sterling known yesterday afternoon, taking the court for a playoff game against the Warriors with their warm-up jerseys inside-out.
It was the team’s mini protest of the horribly racist comments Sterling uttered on a pair of audio recordings released by girlfriend V. Stiviano over the weekend.
The story extends beyond sports, however, with a number of celebrities chiming in and expressing their disdain for this bigoted billionaire.
From Presidents to rappers to reverends… here’s a look at how some famous folks have reacted to Donald Sterling’s comments:
[Donald Sterling is a] bitch-ass redneck, white bread, chicken sh-t mother f-cker. If I was a Clipper fan, I wouldnâ™t be one anymore. Itâ™s that simple. But if I was a Clipper player, a current Clipper player, you wouldnâ™t see me on the court anymore in that uniform. Donald sterling is the definition of racism …. He could b your judge…. Your doctor…..your teacher etc. time for #Clippers players to step up. Refuse to play till NBA moves against this racist jackass #Sterling. NBA can’t defend him. When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything. You just let them talk⦠We’ve made enormous strides, but you’re going to continue to see this percolate up every so often. No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language. It’s a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans. He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.Shaquille O’Neal: Everyone has their thoughts. When your opinions and thoughts become public knowledge, the question is, now what? Another question is: will his team shut down on him and take his remarks personally?… Are you looking for business translation services? Contact Translation Services UK
