Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar has sparked an online furor
and an investigation by Major League Baseball after he wore eye-black
tape inscribed with a homophobic slur during Saturday’s game at the
Rogers Centre.
A close-up photo
posted on Twitter by Toronto resident James Greenhalgh shows the words
“TU ERE MARICON” — Spanish for “You’re a faggot” — printed in white on
the black tape Escobar was wearing below his eyes. The phrase was also
visible in a photo that moved to media outlets on Saturday by Getty
Images’ wire service.
