Delmon Young was suspended by Major League Baseball on Monday for seven days without pay following his arrest on a hate crime harassment charge last week in New York.The commissioner's office said the suspension is retroactive to Friday, when Young was arrested after a late-night tussle at his hotel during which police say he yelled anti-Semitic epithets."Those associated with our game should meet the responsibilities and standards that stem from our game's stature as a social institution," commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement. "An incident like this cannot and will not be tolerated. I understand that Mr. Young is regretful, and it is my expectation that he will learn from this unfortunate episode."The statement from the commissioner's office also said that Young would be required to participate in a treatment program.Young is eligible for reinstatement from the restricted list May 4.

But your reigning MVP testing off the charts for steroids and Bonds/Clemens etc being indicted for steroid use is okay. But don't say anything against the jews!!! Screw Major League Baseball.
He was arrested for a hate crime.......there's a big difference between that and sticking a needle in your butt. MLB has to suspend him or all hell would break loose in the form of protests from the various Jewish organizations.
