WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH CANO

...lol...the actual point escaped you.

 

Incorrect. You said cano had not bothered to learn English. He very much has.

 

...oh please, stop acting coy...you knew it was a figure of speech and you knew exactly what I was saying. Majorball knew what it was about and even explained it to you.

 

If you mean it say it. You said he didn't bother to learn English after 8 years and thereby can't be a leader. And being a leader has far less to do with that aspect than so other glaring issues. You are making something out of nothing and you are wrong about what you wrote to begin with.

 

...Jesus tap dancing Christ, what part of "it was a figure of speech" don't you understand?...you're taking something I said tongue in cheek, but you're interpreting it as literal....but yeah, I'm the one who's "making something out of nothing".


...I'll remember this BS of yours the next time you use a term to figuratively convey an idea.



...you're terrible, seriously, just terrible.

 

You made multiple posts going on about how it's been 8 years and he didn't bother to learn English and if it were you you would have learned it by now and now because I called you out it's an figure of speech? What figure of speech is that exactly? How does having an accent prevent him from being a leader? You sound either stupid or racist and yet you call me terrible.

 

...right, right, my post was stupid and I'm a racist....wtf are you talking about now?...what was "racist" about anything I said. I pointed to and stated that the "language barrier" as being an obstacle for Cano being an effective "leader".
... Saying that he hasn't learned to speak English doesn't mean he can't speak a word of English...is that how you took it?...seriously? No, it meant he can't speak it very well and should be much better versed after over 8 years.

...here, just for you, the definition of "figure of speech"; http://grammar.about.com/od/fh/g/Figure-Of-Speech.htm

...I also pointed out that the language barrier probably created problematic for "English" speaking managers and players as well when trying to communicate with players from other countries....I suppose in your alternate universe, that is also construed as "racist"?

...and if you noticed, unlike you, other people understood what I was referring to and agreed with me...does that make them racists too?




...don't know what your problem is today, but you're the only one here coming off as "stupid".

 

Please. You made a very stupid comment about cano not bothering to learn or speak English. Your words. Then something along the lines that of you were in a country for 8 years you guarantee you would learn the language. The you play this as a reason cano can't lead. Just incredible stupid and yes it comes off as racist. You type it, stand behind it.

 

...lmfao...yes, I did type it, you simply cannot grasp it...why is that?

...no, for the 3rd time, I make a very general statement which others understood and agreed with, but you decided to go off on a different tangent...your problem, not mine. And the only person in this thread who construed it as "racist or stupid" is you...seems to me that it is you who has the problem here.

...and yes, if a person cared to, as Cano should, he could be very fluent by now in the English language...ever hear of Rosetta Stone?

...please acknowledge me other points; 1. are the others who agreed with me also "racists"? 2. Do you now understand the meaning of "figure of speech"?

...and please, dumbass, if you are going to quote me, do it accurately...go back and read what I said. I did not say Cano "can't lead".

 

There you go again. Rosetta Stone? That's just racist. Cano is fully fluent I. English. He doesn't use an interpreter. He answers his own questions. Rivera is hard to understand to. Sure didn't stop him from being a teacher, mentor, and leader. Yes if people are stupid enough to think cano having an accent is the thing that is going to prevent him from leading they are being racist about it too. I know exactly what a figure of speech is. When you make a very straight statement and the go on to back that up multiple times that goes beyond a figure of speech. If you think I care if others in this thread agreeing with you matters to me you don't knows very well. It was a stupid racist thing to say and I'd you didn't mean it you should go back and retract it. Because as its stands in this thread that's how it reads.

 

...wait, now "Rosetta Stone" is racist?...you do realize that they offer foreign languages to English speaking people too, no?...please, just stop with this "racist" thing...you're being ridiculous. And sorry, but Mo is much easier to understand than Cano, bad comparison.

...Cano is "very fluent"....lmao...again, you're understanding of words and terms is lacking; http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fluent

...and no, you obviously didn't understand what "figure of speech" means. If you did, you would come off as a complete tool in this thread.



..now, for the 3rd time, the people who agreed with me "racists" or not...answer the question.

 

^^^^^ agreed with Messiah717... I'm done with him... take the draft picks and move on... he isn't worth keeping on... his lack of leadership is pathetic

 

...still possible he could be dealt...but who knows.

 

...love his swing always have...and I've said he'd surely retire as a Yankee, but now I'm not so sure.

 

I have no more or less problem understanding cano than anyone else with a heavy accent. I actually commend him for doing his own interviews instead if this interpreter nonsense some others do. Sorry man, but you typed it. Very literally. A figure of speech is like saying I'm so hungry I can eat a horse. Not cano has been in the US and hasn't bothered to learn to understand or speak English. Further going on to say even more that if you were in another place you guar-en-tee you would be fluent. Cano is fluent. He both speaks and understands English. It was an awful point by you and the very last thing people should care about in regards to his leadership ability. If other nitwits on this board want to agree with your ridiculously wrong comments the they are being ignorant too.

 

...Granderson and Swisher were nearly as bad.

 

...lmao...so you're saying that Hammer and Majorball are "nitwits" and "ignorant"?..."racists" too?

...and again, dumbass, learn the definition of "fluent".


...my God, you've absolutely lost it. (this thread has officially been YB'd)
