Joakim Soria no longer wants to be known as the "Mexicutioner"
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/spring...ory?id=6151322

Quote:
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- There is a long and storied history to baseball nicknames, from Ted Williams (the Splendid Splinter) to Randy Johnson (the Big Unit) to Babe Ruth (the Sultan of Swat).

Kansas City closer Joakim Soria has a nickname he wants no part of.

The Royals pitcher said that "The Mexicutioner" has a negative connotation and is a particularly jarring choice given the drug violence racking his homeland. He is from Monclova in the northern state of Coahuila.

"It's been really bad in Mexico right now," Soria said Wednesday. "There are a lot of guns in Mexico. It's out of control right now.

...
We should all come up with new nicknames to help the kid out.

god no. I've never objected to it, but I think its silly. Its fine on a message board as an inside joke, but as a widely-used baseball nickname it would be dumb.

Well, I thought this was silly until I discovered that 53 people have been murdered in Juarez over the past 72 hours. I also believe I heard that the 20 year old female police chief that many of you talked about on here was abducted recently and nobody has seen her since that time. Joakim says he requests this change because of the negative connotations it would carry with the children within Mexico, and after briefly examining the sheer amount of violence found there, I am definitely willing to comply.

There have been three public figures with that nickname:

Joakim Soria
Manny Pacquiao
Rebecca Gayheart

Yeah, normally I have an extremely thick skin and I think this sort of thing is silly knee-jerk political correctness, but not this time. I'll be sad to see the nickname go because "mexicutioner" is pretty good, but I absolutely understand.

The violence in northern Mexico is God-damn insane. The mexican drug cartels are some of the closest things that modern man has ever come to pure industrial-strength cold black-hearted "evil", in that they think nothing about, not just killing, but publicly hacking people apart and hanging or strewing body parts around the street in a bloodthirsty psychopathic message to everyone else in the town of "don't get in our f***ing way, we're making money and your life means nothing to us if you threaten our illegal profits". I even read a story about how they murdered this big group of mexicans who were going to some sort of drug therapy program to kick their drug habits, as if "you want to quit buying drugs from us? Oh screw that, you are all dead!"

The violence in mexico is jaw-droppingly mind-numbing insane, and no one should know that better than Joakim Soria. So given all that hellish background, if he doesn't want me to call him "mexicutioner", I'll quickly back the hell down and call him "Joakim Soria" unless a better nickname comes along.

The Interahamwe, Tonton Macoute, and the Janjaweed all have something to say about that.

(They are all good fantasy team names, too)

The Nick Berg video was pretty hard to watch b/c of the noises.

So your right to be an asshole is more important than Joakim Soria's right to define his own identity/request sensitivity w/r/t the hundreds of people being literally executed in his homeland. Got it.
