Before walking off, Shildt reportedly told Giants Manager Gabe Kapler, \u201cyou need to control that motherfucker,\u201d a reference Richardson assumed was aimed his way.<\/p>\n<p>Richardson later claimed that Shildt had unleashed a comment that \u201creeked undertones of racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened was the third base coach from the San Diego Padres was looking into our dugout, and I said, \u2018Can I help you, are you looking for somebody?\u2019 And he says to me: \u2018I didn\u2019t say anything to you.\u2019 I said \u2018I know, I want to know if I can help you.\u2019 At this time, he\u2019s walking toward our dugout. He says, \u2018Hey, I was looking for Alex Wood.\u2019 At that point, Kap came over to kind of defuse the situation. I turned to Woody and I said, \u2018Hey Woody, Shildt is looking for you.\u2019 At that point in time, Shildt started to walk back toward third base. He yelled \u2018You need to control that motherfucker.\u2019 At that point in time, I went to the top step and said, \u2018excuse me.\u2019 Because I couldn\u2019t believe what I heard. At that point in time, the crew chief decided to toss me from the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say this because his words were disproportionately unwarranted and reeked undertones of racism when he referred to me as \u2018that motherfucker\u2019 as if I was to be controlled or a piece of property or enslaved. I think it\u2019s just really important we understand what happened tonight. And the second part that\u2019s equally disappointing is that me being tossed by that umpire empowers this coach to continue to have conversations like that with people like me. And that\u2019s really unfortunate that\u2019s what happened tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Richardson also denied using foul language that may have escalated the situation, despite being charged with \u201cinstigation\u201d by the ref.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that point in time, I asked, \u2018this person called me a motherfucker, and I\u2019m being an instigator?\u201d Richardson said he asked the ref.<\/p>\n<p>Kapler claimed he did not witness the entire exchange, but he backs Richardson \u201c100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that Antoan was not out of control at all and that anything that was said to insinuate that he was is totally inappropriate, Kapler insisted. \u201cHe didn\u2019t instigate any part of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richardson also piously insisted that he was bringing light to the issue for \u201cother people that look like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important we bring awareness to this,\u201d he said. \u201cThis, unfortunately, this is what exists in our world, and I think it\u2019s important we understand that when we do make comments and we do take actions like this, what that means to communities.
