According to The Japan Times article, Juri Morioka and MLB “quietly settled” the case. She filed her multi million dollar law suit last year. Well I don’t know the situation but original report say she was alegedly subject to “unreasonable, offensive and demeaning anti-Japanese and anti-Asian hostility” and one executive “repeatedly referred to people of Japanese ancestry with the term ‘Jap’ or ‘Japs’ and frequently said Japanese clients were ’stupid’ or ‘a moron.’”

It is sad that baseball is still run by bunch of white male. Incidents like Morioka or Former Mets scout Bill Singer’s stupid atitude towards Dodger’s Assistant GM Kim Ng last year is a disgrace, considering that Major League Baseball is possibly the most popular sports in the world.

UPDATE: Singer finds new job. Hope he has learned. Singer, fired for insensitive comment, gets job
