Just give up on the deflection attempts. They're predictable and feeble. If you don't have a decent retort don't bother.

Go read the title of the article as well as reading the entire article. Whoever started talking about politics first is the one deflecting. Just to break it down for you, Shohei Ohtani is a Japanese athlete playing a sport in the U.S. called baseball. His interpreter is under investigation for gambling on sports illegally. You can search past articles to get caught up and what you missed.

As for Democrat coverups, the most recent already-litigated examples being?

The better question is why do you feel the need to bring a political discussion into a story about baseball and gambling when there are plenty of articles to do so?

 I think Mizuhara was really the fall guy for him. Mizuhara has less to lose from this.

Less to lose? Just because they are in a different income bracket doesn't make his livelihood have less worth. Ippei's parents who run a restaurant in SoCal had to shut their doors. His wife unfollowed him on social media meaning she may be out the door. He may even go to prison for this. Nobody is going to hire him after this in Japan or in U.S. His only cash grab would be a tell all book but I doubt that happens.

going to be the tastiest 30 for 30 in history after he gets hit with an investigation and a 200 game ban

Sorry, Commissioner Manfred isn't letting go of his league's biggest cash cow.

A lot of Japanese can get away with it in Japan but not in the US

So you see a few pachinko parlors on your way home from the station and you think Japan doesn't have strict gambling laws? Most sports gambling is HIGHLY illegal here too and both baseball players and sumo wrestlers have been charged and banned for life for doing so.

Hopefully a new curse hasn't arisen. Hanshin has been the worst team in Spring training lol Go Tigers!

There may be more to this than what meets the eyes. Who knows, maybe Ohtani knew of this addiction and bailed Ippei out. Lawyers have to protect their guy. Evidence of Ohtani doing this would be massive and could lead to repercussions.

 no non-Japanese who can speak Japanese to date or is that they just don’t feel comfortable getting out of their bubble just a little bit?

This isn't a Japanese thing per say. A lot of people only date within their Nationality. Japanese tend to be more open than other Eastern Asian countries in dating outside their ethnicity.

knowing that if they do let rip they will be helping their arch nemesis Donal Trump in his campaign to reclaim the white house.

Joe has it soooo easy. Everybody is so focused on the last President that Joe could burn down the country and the media and their sheep would still be focused on the former guy. They are doing their darndest to hide the protests going on from the progressives because they know full well it could be detrimental to Joe.

Any non-bias news sources from you? Every day are these far left links you give and try to pass them off as 100% factual for pats on the back. Give us some substance please!

Stop being 'Merica centric! These guys are unknown here in Japan, just like she is unknown in the US.

FYI, my comments about these guys would be the same as I wrote about her, regarding the desire for more "fame".

Oh and who in the hell are Jolie, Penn and Stiller? Meaningless names to me!

Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn and Ben Stiller? Never heard of them?!?

Also the Sean Penn article was here on this site the day before this article.

I have lived in the Philippines off and on over the last 5 years. I have yet to meet a Filopino who did not appreciate the drug war.

Exactly and it made the country safer than it was. I went to a friend's wedding down in Mindanao a few years back. It was under martial law then. Everyone told me that pre-martial law, there were dead drug users everywhere. Also people were often robbed and shot if they didn't give up their money to these drug addicts.

Such hypocrites, I didn't see any uproar when Letterman, Jolie, Penn or Stiller went. What makes them OK to go but not her?

This is the person who smashed a woman's face with a wine glass requiring over 30 stitches. She's damaged goods

Well Sean Penn was a woman abuser. I didn't see you mentioning that in yesterday's article through all the comments about his greatness and muscle mass.

So excited about this as a Lakers fan. When Nunn signed, we thought he was a steal at the MLE level but he was out last season and hardly plays this season. We have enough guards as it is.

Yes. To make excuses for this kind of violence on partisan grounds is pathetic.

Didn't see much of that preaching for partisan unity the Summer 2020 when the burning/looting of businesses, death of 25+ and destroyed livelihoods was "justified." Oh and Antifa either "didn't exist" or weren't actual people but an "ideology." Don't forget the who's who of politicians were out supporting the mayhem. Where are they now? I guess no elections in the near future so no need to act concerned.

4%? Things I buy frequently are now twice the price. I thought Gyomu Supermarket was the go-to cheap store and now I am exploring my options.

Many of these people outside NZ would struggle to name another NZ PM.

Well Kiwis in NZ can probably name every NZ PM and they are the ones that gave her a 30% approval rating of late. You can gloat how she is the greatest politician of all time but that doesn't mean the masses have to.

I already did. And I didn't even have to read CNN. It's called thinking for yourself. Try it.

Things people say when they disagree with their favorite news organization once in a blue moon.

threatened countermeasures against countries involved, which include the U.S. and several European nations.

I will laugh if China bans foreigners from entering because of this because I am sure 99.9999% of people have any desire to go there in the near future.

RIP

20/20 was a steeple in many households every Friday evening at 10pm following the great sitcoms on ABC(TGIF) from 8-10.

They shouldn't have been walking on the road, especially at night.

Maybe he shouldn't have been driving through a residential neighborhood hitting people then driving away.

It not sad or tragic,it just a symptom of Japanese society failure

We can't determine that until we know why she did this. Until then, it is really hard and sad for me to wake up to this type of news especially since I have kids the same age.

Way to get yourself killed, too. Press the emergency button on the platform and call it a day.

Not an easy task when you have to make a split second decision.

Lanez -- whose real name is Daystar Peterson -- is scheduled to be sentenced on January 27.

Not to worry, this is L.A. and the Canadian wannabe gangsta will only be doing community service.

If they don't like vaccines, no one is forcing them to have one.

Yes, people say this then turn around and ridicule/cancel those who choose not to. The same people that were anti-big pharma 3 years ago, currently treat big pharma like God and even rush their kids to the front of the line to get poked.

The same people in here whining about Elon Musk owning Twitter are also the ones saying before that they don't use Twitter in the first place. Why gatekeep a site you don't even use?

RIP!

Now I can go to the thrift store and buy Donpen junk to sell to the "mourners" on Yahoo Auction who will act like they have always been Donpen's biggest fan.

Toronto has high gang population in certain parts of the city - gangs like in American cities.

So can I waltz into one of their unlocked trap houses and expect them to whip me up a batch of maple cookies as a guest?

Oceania, traditionally forced to compete for a World Cup place via a playoff, will receive an automatic qualifying berth.

This part always confuses me. So Australia is part of the AFC and New Zealand the OFC though both are in Oceania. So basically New Zealand will get an automatic birth and Australia has to go play a bunch of Asia teams to qualify?

I was told though that Canada was so safe that doors were unlocked and you could walk into a stranger's house unannounced to have dinner with them.

I've watched 13 world cup finals and that was the most exciting since 1982.

No doubt! That was one of the best games period I have seen. Both teams deserved to go home winners. All the focus is on Messi and rightfully so but Mbappe single-handedly tied the game for them twice and got every French goal on an injury depleted team. France is going to be a scary team as long as he is playing for them which might be another 3 World Cups.
