Because I'm sure what Avery said was not a slur. If it was, I guarantee you that Simmonds would have made a comment about it without actually revealing the word.
And it is usually made a big deal by the media (ex. Wisniewski last season).
Add to it that Simmonds was just the victim of bigotry? The media doesn't even need to make the story...it made itself.
For once, I'm not anti-Avery here. It's not like, after the game, he called all the reporters over to him and started ranting about how Simmonds called him that. It was one reporter who kept asking him about the incident and Avery actually stayed away from revealing anything specific.
Rays leading the Yanks 4-2
O's and Sox were tied but after an RBI double, Ellsbury slammed into the wall and dropped a fly ball giving Robert Andino a 3-run inside the park homer
