Reggie Jackson talking about the racism he faced early on during his career.

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)pic.twitter.com/7WqjlppvF8

I love that he highlights the good while also making sure the bad is called out.

This is exactly correct, problems arise when there’s excessive focus on either side.
