Summary

ESPN's Stephen A Smith says on First Take that Ohtani can't be the face of the league because he needs an interpreter to tell him what's being said and to respond. That may be the case but so what? Nobody is going to a game, much less the All-Star games to listen to Ohtani speak. Hey, unless I'm wrong, the millions of us watching are looking at something special, incredible. Honestly, I'm pretty content if most of the athletes today kept their mouths shut and didn't speak anyway. Then again, that's just me. Let me know what you think and leave a comment.

1:06.3	Okay, I don't think it helps that the number one face is a dude that needs an interpreter
