    It was a joke, and I took it as such. Didn't see the Zimmerman observation, so maybe this is a pattern, but I thought it was funny.

    Again what's funny about it? He even took the trouble to capitalize the anti semitic part for emphasis.

    For context, Google Delmon Young.

    This. Boom, if you know the story of Delmon Young's arrest and don't get this, then you need to lighten up.

    First you said it was a "cool" story. Now you're saying it's "sad."

    Which is it?

    Original post said kind of sad and kind of cool. So I'm guessing both.

    My bad, DW. Read right past that.

    I'm not sure why it's a big deal the author didn't go into depth about Young's drug use/arrest record. That stuff isn't really relevant to this story.

    Well, it is, because the purpose of the story is to make Dmitri Young seem like a quirky, enjoyable guy, and he's not.

    I thought the purpose was to talk about his card collection.
