I do not condone what Pillar said but Kelly saying Pillar got preferential treatment compared to Escobar because Pillar is a better player is incorrect.  Both unfortunately used homophobic slurs however Pillar said it out of anger in the spur of the moment, Escobar had obviously thought about his word as he was writing the slur in his eye black and therefore a deliberate thought out action.  Typical Kelley, overreacting.  However, if it is known the pitcher is a homosexual that changes the matter in my opinion.  Then I would have suspended Pillar for a month.  Also Kelley is wrong when he says Pillar should have included the term in his apology.
