An Italian League baseball team decided to film a spoof of the American Express commercial from the hit 80’s film “Major League”.
The remake was actually pretty good for the first 36 seconds of the 39 second spot. Then, it gets real ugly real fast as the team has a player, who is supposed to be playing the character of Willie May Hayes, in black face.
Italian or not, they get no pass for this racially insensitive commercial. Here’s the original if you’re interested.
