While Pillar's slur has no place in ANY walk,and should have been more severely sanctioned by the Blue Jays and MLB,let's stop portraying Escobar as basically a disliked scrub.I don't know Escobar's level of acceptance among the Jays (and obviously abhor the homophobic slur on his eyeblack),but he has a career 27 WAR,indicating he's a good to very good player.
Seemingly,MLB hasn't progressed much since the days when gay players such as Billy Beane and the late Glenn Burke played 30 years ago. I know Beane is used in MLBs inclusion department;maybe he should be given more power to legislate on such cases as Pillar's.
