Punishing him is unfair. He's Cuban so he doesn't have the ability to know any better. The only people capable of understanding the difference between discrimination and acceptable behavior are straight white males like myself. It's fair to hold only that group to a higher standard and punish them for making mistakes.

Makes mlb look bad and costs them money

Hes an employee and has to be a positive reinforcement of the brands he represents at all times. Not surprised hes getting a slap on the wrist, they had to do something.

What he did harmed no one physically and had zero effect on the game.
Baseball has no reason to get involved period.
Doesn't matter if anyone thinks it was wrong or not.
There is no crying in baseball.

If Gurriel was white, would this punishment be: too severe, just right, or not enough?

people are trying to defend him because he's Cuban...

obviously it would be a fair suspension if he was Caucasian
