Yu Chang calls out anti-Asian racist social media messages after error in Cleveland Indians' loss [View all]
Cleveland Indians infielder Yu Chang shared on Twitter that he received racist social media messages after his decisive throwing error in Cleveland's loss Monday to the White Sox.
Chang tweeted early Tuesday morning: "Exercise your freedom of speech in a right way, I accept all comments, positive or negative but DEFINITELY NOT RACIST ONES. Thank you all and love you all. #StopAsianHate."
Chang's tweet included a screenshot of anti-Asian racist social media messages he purportedly received from three different users. Two of the accounts no longer existed as of Tuesday morning, and the third is private.
Cleveland lost 4-3 on Monday night when Chang hit Chicago's Yasmani Grandal with a throw while trying to force him at second base in the ninth inning, allowing Nick Madrigal to score the winning run.
