ヤシエル・プイグさんのインスタグラム動画 - (ヤシエル・プイグInstagram)「Seven years ago today I played for the very first time on a Major League Field. I fought so hard to get here, America was a dream. Today, as I look back on that memory, and take account of everything that I have lived through since then, I want to speak up for the very first time about my personal experiences as a man of color. I came from a country where I could not speak up, we could not express our thoughts and protests were and are a punishable act. I want my black brothers and sisters to know that although I have had the privilege of playing on a national stage, that privilege has not prevented me from feeling the sting of being an Afro-Latino man. My privilege has not afforded me the total escape of others having preconceived notions about me based on the color of my skin. Today, 7 years later, now a proud American Citizen, I will raise my voice and demand the necessary change. It is time that everyone is treated with the respect that all human beings deserve. Black, brown, yellow or white- our hearts are what matter. Let’s keep taking these steps forward and give to our children the beautiful future that they deserve.」6月4日 8時29分
