波多黎各終結者本季報銷 大都會鐵粉主播崩潰喊：取消經典賽！

First Freddie Freeman, now Edwin Diaz.

The WBC is a meaningless exhibition series designed to: get YOU to buy another uniform, to hell with the real season, and split up teammates based on where their grandmothers got laid.

Call it off. Now. https://t.co/A5IT4rJWON

波多黎各終結者E.迪亞茲（Edwin Diaz）慶祝時不慎傷到腳，檢查結果為右膝髕骨韌帶撕裂，預計缺席整個賽季。對此，身為大都會球迷的《ESPN》知名主播歐伯曼（Keith Olbermann）感到很不滿，在社群發表激進言論引發爭議。

歐伯曼在推特轉發E.迪亞茲受傷的消息，「先是弗里曼（Freddie Freeman），現在是E.迪亞茲。經典賽是毫無意義的比賽，旨在：球員穿上另一件球衣，讓真正的賽季見鬼去吧，然後在祖母上床的地方分裂隊友，請馬上取消！」

歐伯曼言論一出引起軒然大波，外界認為「在祖母上床的地方」有性別歧視之嫌，面對質疑聲浪，歐伯曼出面回應，「好吧，我為性別歧視道歉，應該改成『他們祖先下葬的地方』。」但他仍堅持立場，「經典賽威脅到真正重要的東西：賽季。」

《FOX》分析師韋蘭德（Ben Verlander）則在社群駁斥「經典賽無意義論」，「在你發表愚蠢言論前先提醒你：世上最偉大的選手曾說過為國出戰經典賽是他們的生涯巔峰，你算老幾來評論經典賽沒意義？這代表一切。」

Reminder before you make a ridiculous comment today:

The best players in the world are having the time of their lives in the WBC and saying it’s the highlight of their career to represent their country.

Who are you to deem the tournament “meaningless”?

It’s means everything.
