  4. The mlb wanted to give him a harsher penalty for that than they gave the asterisks… their priorities make zero sense

  5. They refused to suspend Guriel during the 2017 WS for doing the racist eyes mocking Darvish, but wanted to suspend Kike for his interview. Bruh.

  6. Keep in mind, this isn’t about MLB or some executive being uptight or offended by his viral moment. Networks can get, and have gotten, hammered by the FCC over broadcasting such language. Kiké can’t claim in the moment emotion either as he asked first if it was live.

    The FCC is the issue with their archaic rules. It isn’t an issue if it had happened on one of the cable channels like MLB or TBS, but it is here because it was on Fox which is publicly broadcast. As if anyone gets OTA rather than cable or streaming these days.

  9. Clearly some of you don’t understand how the real world works in terms of FCC and being fined. If MLB didn’t do anything & next season a player did something similar how exactly do you think that’s going to sit with MLB?

  17. Kiké does have a point, in that he had assumed there would have (and should have) been a delay on the live feed, and that IMO was his saving grace from getting suspended. The fact that someone could not (or did not) catch it should be investigated by the network.

    Still, it was an epic moment, one that plays on repeat in my mind several times a day.

    “Worth it” — Kiké, probably

  18. “I did have to apologize; which— you could say 50/50 on the honesty part of it.”

    Fucking legend. 😂

    (And I believe that translates to “I still don’t give a fuck, but my agent prepped me for this interview.”)
