Michele Tafoya isn’t any stranger to controversy, whether or not made up out of complete material and probably not even involving her, or missed when she was too cozy in her sideline job with a few of the NFL’s worst people, or fully of her personal doing by occurring cable information and advocating for white supremacist insurance policies.

That final one ought to most likely make Saturday night time a lot much less stunning, however no much less silly.

Tafoya took the time, along with her very personal fingers, on an iPad, to tweet maybe the dumbest grievance a couple of televised sporting occasion within the historical past of complaints about televised sporting occasions.

Shohei Ohtani grew to become the third Japanese participant to succeed in 100 profession homers in Main League Baseball on Saturday, through the Angels’ 9-1 win over the A”s. And he hit the shit out of the ball for quantity 100.

Should you’d just like the technical specs on “hit the shit out of the ball,” it’s 110.1 mph at a 22-degree launch angle, for a 418-foot homer. That’s the third-hardest ball Ohtani has hit this season, trailing solely a ground-rule double off Jose Urquidy and a line drive that Xander Bogaerts snagged at Fenway Park.

Ohtani is the reigning American League MVP, and it was really throughout that collection in Boston that he began to come back round after a sluggish begin. Within the final 9 video games, Ohtani is batting .297 (11-for-37) with three of his seven residence runs — a 12 months after he belted 46 dingers.

If the Angels’ broadcast wasn’t speaking about Ohtani, it might need been comprehensible, because it was a 9-1 recreation, however on the night time that he reached a historic milestone, it’s additionally fairly apparent why, particularly throughout a blowout, announcers would proceed to speak a couple of distinctive expertise who’s essentially the most magnetic determine in baseball. Ohtani connects with American followers with out talking greater than a few phrases of English publicly, and it could be the type of malpractice we often affiliate with baseball broadcasting to not discuss him.

Except, in fact, there’s a cause that you just don’t wish to hear about Ohtani… and if you’re friends with Tucker Carlson and co-chair of a Republican gubernatorial marketing campaign in Minnesota, it’s not too onerous to guess what the reason being, now, is it?

And why would she tag Ohtani in her tweet? So he may see that she’s a xenophobic piece of shit? Shohei Ohtani doesn’t have any have to know who the washed up sideline reporter from American soccer is, and even much less what she tweets.

Due to that, he’s not even on Twitter. Tafoya tagged a Johannes Vermeer fan from Japan who final tweeted in 2014 and largely appears, by way of Google Translate, to be confused about methods to use a pc. Like, actually, it’s a number of tech assist questions. However no less than that particular person isn’t going to get up to hundreds of notifications as a result of some dopey girl in the USA can’t deal with the truth that somebody who isn’t white, and is from one other nation, is nice at baseball.
