Moreover, it's ****ing weird to act as if it's someone's responsibility to learn a particular language in order to live somewhere.

The $700 million, supposed “face of MLB” should be able to communicate with the media… is that an unreasonable expectation? Imagine Mahomes or LeBron being completely unable to fulfill media/PR responsibilities as the marquee players in their respective sports.

Also how does Victor Wembanyama arrive from France and is immediately able to know enough English to communicate with the media/teammates, but Ohtani still required a full time translator after living in America for SEVEN YEARS?
