Takeouts: L.A. Angels’ Torii Hunter, out of line or on target? Your responses on government and genius
SPORTS TAKEOUT: Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter’s comments about the racial makeup of Major League Baseball are causing controversy in some quarters but leading others to defend Hunter’s point of view. We talk more to Ibrahim Abdul-Matin about the dust-up.
YOUR RESPONSES: The Takeaway moves away from a week long discussion on genius to hear a little bit about government gridlock and hear your suggestions to fix it. But you still had a lot to say about genius, including some fun facts about the relative IQ’s of some of our nation’s top leaders.
