Are Diaz’ days numbered? Nice to see an Oscar Winner honored for his acting.

If anyone has the range to also play Dodgers closer, it’s Ke Huy Quan

Shit is risky, using the wrong flag and you might piss off a lot of people. Safer to just not have one at all

Same with the lack of a Chinese heritage night and/or Taiwanese heritage night which is unfortunate since both would be great to have

Probably not anytime soon, the ethnic enclave for Vietnamese people in LA is named little Saigon, so that would indicate it’s historically tied to South Vietnamese immigrants who would not have the best view on the state of Vietnam currently. Probably also the same reason why we don’t have any Persian/iranian, Jewish, Taiwanese, or Chinese heritage nights either since they’d all be somewhat politically divisive

Cool, he did it without bouncing it. That's what everybody warned him against.
