For the moment, it appears that Steve Clevenger has gotten a slap on the wrist from the Mariners organization. His undeniably, racially targeted comments yesterday have earned him a suspension without pay for the remainder of the year. Only problem is, the season has less than two weeks remaining.

In one tweet he wrote:
“Black people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha sh@t cracks me up.
