I hate that people think black people cant be Mexican , we come in all shades and like Chabela Vargas said '' Mexicans are born where ever they fucking feel like it ''

[@patches849]

@Ignacio Juárez jajajaja no you dont we are not Italy , he is Mexican by nationality there is a Bi difference between Mexican and Mexica . i could say im Mexica im from the center of the Aztec / Mexica empire but also a Mexican by nationality . Mexico is not a race its a nationality Mexica is a race/tribe .

[@lewisc9959]

1% if Mexicos population is Afro Mexican.

[@lucyfromseventeenth]

There’s are black Mexicans but he’s not one of them. He’s merely a Cuban who got naturalized. Kind of a slap in the face to actual Afro Mexicans ingrained with Mexican culture where he impersonates them due his color of his skin.

​@@patches849he is literally not Mexican, he is from cuba.

​​​@@lucyfromseventeenth " he impersonates them" hahaha this not usa, we dont care about that "look a black person is playing in the team instead of us" hahaha, if someone feels patriotic about México then it doesnt matter where they born they became mexicans thats the difference between other places that care about races and other things, "nosotros nacemos donde se nos de la rechingada gana" is something you should take more seriously why did you think almost half of the mexican team born in usa yet they played in the mexican team?

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

1. I'm glad he got the hell out of Cuba. 2. Cut the showboating. Either that or get a rib guard.

I have a lot of respect and affection for the player Randy Arozarena, but I'm not sure he was "the player of the WBC" overall. He made some great plays in the game against Japan, and he obviously loves playing the game. So I like him for that. But I also think he got a little carried away or full of himself at times. The catch where he reached up over the top of that fairly low wall was definitely a good one. But I thought it was showboating and self-absorption the way he acted after that--the pose, the faking out of the viewers as to whether he caught it, and especially stalling the game and creating an egotistical distraction by taking that baseball, signing it, and passing it to the crowd. Come on. That's not so much entertaining as grandstanding. The game was already fun and exciting without him making it a spectacle centered more on him.

なんか、ちょっと言ってる事分からない？😗

[@ancelcole4404]

Bro the game is different in other countries. In DR and Cuba they have whole bands, horns, and theatrics during the game. They blow whistles when the other team is batting. They showboat. It's normal their, it's uncommon in the western countries and Asia

[@FlippinBatsPod]

He hit like .471 and had like 10 RBI and some amazing catches. Who else would it be?

[@deltabasshunter8974]

@@FlippinBatsPod Dude may have great numbers and played great, but I still thought he was showboating and disrespectful. I thought the BS theatrics by Arozarena, the home run robbery catch and the autograph signings during the game, lit a fire in Japan's dugout with them roaring back to take the spotlight from that fool. We can agree to disagree.

[@o.d.b.5344]

Baseball needs guys like Randy. Have some fun. If not him then who?!

[@larryb1876]

That was a great catch he made in left. But the showboating afterwords was stupid.

[@Victor-ov7hw]

Why stupid? Because a dinosaur like you did not like it?

[@Victor-ov7hw]

Hey Dinosaur, He is a HUMAM BEEN!!! not a robot...if a catch is done in that kind of game and moment he has earned the right to do so
