"It is remarkable how much worse this tweet gets with each sentence lol","Heyman dumb tweet masterclass"-MLB Insider Jon Heyman draws flak from fans on Twitter after his tweet on the allegedly racist comments from New York Yankees player
The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox got into a benches-clearing altercation after Tim Anderson alleged that Josh Donaldson was making racist remarks at him by calling him "Jackie."
The game got heated during an altercation in the fifth inning between Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal and New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson, causing the benches to clear.
Jon Heyman, MLB Insider and writer for the New York Post, tweeted about the altercation and took some harsh criticism from fans on Twitter. This article will look at some of the best reactions to Heyman's take on the situation.
Remark was clearly inappropriate. The question now is how inappropriate. The comment can be taken a couple ways. Neither is great, but to immediately judge it racist would take mind reading — why MLB is investigating further. Eventually, what his teammates think will matter too. twitter.com/nypostsports/s…

A comment is racist not because of intent but how it was received. If I go outside and start throwing rocks I may not intend to hurt anyone but if I do I'm still at fault. twitter.com/JonHeyman/stat…
