Surely you’ve heard of the Jewish Media Conspiracy? Or to be correct, the Phil Mushnick-identified Media Conspiracy To Fuck The Jews While Favoring Blacks At Every Turn? Where it not for the resident moral conscience of the New York Post, who knows how much reverse racism I and my fellow tribesmen would suffer unanswered every day? On Sunday, Phil tackles the laudatory treatment recently meted towards retiring MLB umpire Bruce Froemming.
The day before the All-Star Game, Froemming was saluted as both a noble fellow and for a job well done by Fay Vincent, the former commissioner of baseball, in a guest column that appeared in the New York Times. During the game, FOX’s Joe Buck and Tim McCarver lauded Froemming as, “good for baseball.”
But neither the former commissioner, in his Times piece, nor FOX’s broadcasters, while addressing a national audience, saw fit to note – perhaps they were too polite or they just plain forgot – a certain episode. In 2003, Froemming didn’t disengage his cell phone until after he could be heard, at the end of a voice mail, calling MLB administrator Cathy Davis a “stupid Jew bitch.”
The episode made short and quick news. Froemming apologized. Sort of. He explained that his comment about Davis wasn’t meant to be heard by anyone other than his wife. “There was no anti-Semitism on my part, whatsoever,” he further explained. Gee, how could anyone regard “stupid Jew bitch” as anti-Semitic?
Froemming nonetheless served a 10-day suspension. Then, before Froemming could even be forgiven, it was forgotten.
Poof! It disappeared. Then his career carried on as if nothing had happened, right up until – and now beyond – this year’s All-Star Game, when he was saluted as a great guy and a credit to the game.
Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe it isn’t.
But it’s certainly a lucky thing for Froemming that he only slurred a Jewish woman. In a world that has lost its balance, imagine had he slurred a black person. Imagine.
Ya think the FOX broadcasters, Tuesday, would have told a national audience that Froemming has been good for the game? Ya think a former commissioner of baseball would have lauded him in a guest column in the New York Times? Ya think the Times would have run such a column? Ya think Froemming would have worked Tuesday’s All-Star Game?
Ya think Phil could’ve made the main point about Froemming without suggesting there’s some kinda anti-white media bias? Ya know, the one that has so many black sports media columnists working for New York newspapers?
