Johnny Bench made an antisemitic comment during a pregame news conference to honor the three newest members of the Reds Hall of Fame, one of whom, former Reds general manager Gabe Paul, was Jewish.
…
During the event, Pete Rose started to tell a story about Paul, noting, “When I got out of high school in 1960, Gabe Paul signed me to a contract for 400 bucks a month.”
Jennie Paul responded, “That cheap … never mind.”
Bench then said, “He was Jewish.”
Several people in the audience laughed. Others did not.
and it’s not the same story, but we get this chit from the parent company:
Typical mainstream media coverage of labour actions. Their owners want the public to be mad at the strikers, lest they look at it and wonder why they’re not striking for better conditions in their own line of work, so they frame it as “How does the strike affect you/the little guy/mom and pop shops/average folks?”
