Espn started this whole circus. Their reporter Tisha Thompson never checked with Ohtani to begin with lol Where the f is she?
Apologize to Ohtani
*Nope. Bookies don't ever allow random gamblers to generate a $4.5 million debt unless they know that the person making the bets can easily cover the debt. The bookie knew he was dealing with Ohtani directly, or by proxy via Ippei. If it's not true, then the only other explanation is that Ohtani is a gullible fool, not noticing that millions and millions of dollars were missing. That's almost worse than gambling.*
Where is the apology? You guys assumed Ohtani was involved last week
He did apology in previous upload.. KINDA...just so he dont 100% burn the bridge with all Asian player.

Rich, your fans will think you are cool for honestly admitting that you were biased and apologizing to Shohei. The time to apologize is right now.

Now that's what you call actual reporting the facts and not speculating on what could or couldn't be. Take notes brother
Best comment in a long time.
HEY LOOK at Rich trying to pivot acting as if he's been fair the whole time. 🤦♂😅
He had Tisha Thompson and didn’t ask her any of the tough questions. Now he’s claiming he was skeptical because of the Mark McGuire situation. They blew this whole thing up. Horrible journalism
100% right
Why did she post her story to include what seems like the full interview w/ippei when he told her he lied. This was deliberate on her to get views. Everyone believed the lie more than the fraud. Ohtani's camp has gotta sue her for defamation.
@@tomriddle8699 Exactly. Reckless reporting. Ohtani was guilty by the public but no one ever spoke to him.
people of Rich's generation have PTSD from Pete Rose in 1989
they never failed to put together the common sense: Shohei Ohtani is not Pete Rose
I hope people will accept the investigation that came out as the truth. Do not allow yourself to be angry and jealous, you will gain nothing by destroying someone.
Ohtani's agent, accountants, and financial advisors all kept asking Ippei to see the account, but Ippei spoke for Ohtani and said Ohtani wanted to keep it private. Thought you read the 37 page report, Alden.
Haters gotta hate
Did he understand the content?
Waiting for an apology video.
hes a coward
@@era_emissary he's not apologizing at least until all the legalities are sorted, that's normal
Sadly, like many of the other sports analyst, they will either go consprcy or double down or like Rich, will try to distract and act like he was fair from the beginning and will NEVER apologize.
They saw what happened to Fox news and Tucker Carlson and the backtracking already started.
Rich needs to be FIRED or canceled!!! Where is the personal accountability as a professional? Excuses excuses excuses ... uses McGuire as an example. Put your feelings aside and speak facts and not fuel hate w/falsehoods.
What I find interesting is that Dave Roberts have alluded in interviews that Ippei had restricted Ohtani from directly communicating with the team. Every communications went through him. Now that he is gone, the barrier has been lifted and the communication with Ohtani is free flowing. Apparently, Ippei used Ohtani's lack of English and total trust in him to control what he wants Ohtani to hear and to believe is true.
even cowherd had a fairer take on the subject than you rich, imagine that? 🤔
5:55 Typically, companies will hire staff who speak the language of their foreign client to speak directly to the client, and will not rely on an outside interpreter like Ippei. Even the agency in the report acknowledged that they would hire their own interpreters for their Japanese-speaking staff and Mizuhara was the exception. And Ippei was not supposed to have control over the account in question, which was also described in the report. He was able to access it and change notification settings because he helped set it up when Ohtani first moved to California back in 2018. Ohtani was under the impression that his accountants had complete control and were monitoring everything while Ippei had no permission to access any of his accounts. You'd think these advisors would have been suspicious when Ohtani didn't show up to their financial meeting and only Mizuhara was there. They already had asked questions about it and expressed concerns before. Even if they believed Mizuhara's story that Ohtani was sick and couldn't show, they could have rescheduled the meeting or have had him on conference call.
大谷批判してた人間って、自分自身が犯罪者思考なんだよね。
だから、そういう考えに行き着く。
Hey L👀k, a sports analyst NOT trying to sensationalize this. 😅
Rich you were right to say: Say it ain't Sho! It wasn't Sho!
Shohei is a very private person. It is possible that ohtanis team believed Ippei lies because of how private he is.
If I was talented, wealthy and famous I'd want atleast one 500k account to be private. I dont want my advisors reviewing my day to day expenses. Just the big stuff.
Could the fact no one questioned that Ohtani wanted to keep the account private maybe be due to people thinking it might be a cultural thing or the fact that Ohtani seems like a private person to begin with considering even his teammates were surprised to hear he quietly got married.
Apparently the interpreter filed his yearly tax returns for him also ! Hell of a guy ! I'm so glad the IRS was understanding about all these moneys coming in and out of this account !
Will it matter if people blocked the Rich Eisen CZcams channel?
Gambling addiction or a way to transfer the winnings to his personal account? Id be gambling a lot too if someone else paid the losses and i kept the winnings lol
*People looking for an apology or thinking that the government never covered anything up during an investigation are so dumb. Bookies don't ever allow random gamblers to generate a $4.5 million debt unless they know that the person making the bets can easily cover the debt. The bookie knew he was dealing with Ohtani directly, or by proxy via Ippei. If it's not true, then the only other explanation is that Ohtani is a gullible fool, not noticing that millions and millions of dollars were missing. That's almost worse than gambling.*
Worse than gambling? Wtf you talking about? This fool earn 700mil and around 50 mil per year..... You just jealous simple as that.
@@anubizz3 *Let me check...*
*Nope. Try again. Ohtani is either a gambler or a gullible fool. Pick one.*
Rich.I'm your fun..I love you.
but many Japanese people are starting to hate you...
Please invite ohtani to a this show sometime.
sry I'm not good at English.
thanks for your kindness.
If I'm Ohtani, I would stay away from those who spew misinformation w/o researching facts about the Japanese culture and doing basic due diligence about gambling addicts. Rich's level of skepticism was a borderline accusation that showed disdain towards someone he knew nothing about. That's scary!!!
Case closed, damage done, no elongated pain needed.
Same. I am Rich fan. As a Japanese I support you.
Someone had to be filing his taxes with access to bank statements. The IRS must have tracked the many large withdrawals of cash as wire transfers. There still seems to be a hole in this story somewhere. Its one thing to hide this from Ohtani but this would need to be hidden from the IRS too. I'm worried about making a $50 tax mistake but $60 million is flying around and accountants don't even notice?
You nailed it on the head ! I've been wondering the same thing ! The first year when this gambling started and he had to file his taxes what did the IRS say about all these monies going in and out of accounts ?!
i am your stan rich. you not wrong for asking questions.
As Rich Eisen alluded to earlier in the show, when news first broke, there were "holes" in the story and a lot of "unanswered questions." The problem is, Rich Eisen filled these holes with his own assumptions and speculations. These "holes" were not intended for talking heads like Rich Eisen to answer. By doing so, he made matters worse, and helped to dog pile on Ohtani's character. All the questions that he had, were answered in the official complaint. Rather than wait for the investigation, he decided to make assumptions on those unanswered questions, which was the whole problem. It's one thing to ask questions, but it's an entire different thing to speculate based on those unanswered questions. Also, dragging Mark McGwire into this wss distasteful. Your past personal experience with another player, has absolutely nothing to do with this case.
there is asking questions and there is speculating , Rich not asking question he speculating.
Big apology to Ohtani is way over due

If I were an attorney for Shohei, I would pursue a legal liability from Angels !? Are you familiar with “drum shop law”, which makes a restaurant liable once a drunk patron ends up causing legal problems outside of a restaurant ? Angels hired Ippei as an interpreter for Shohei, but did not make sure that Ippei was acting for the best interest of Shohei when he was taking care of Shohei’s bank account ? Angels must have some liability in this wrong doing by Ippei. After all, Ippei was AN EMPLOYEE of Angels. This unprecedented incident must be looked into as a liability issue from an organization who hired Ippei.
You sound like a delusional fan. Shohei _requested_ that Ippei be his interpreter when he was with the Angels. When he left, he brought him to the Dodgers with him. Of course, a team will capitulates to a star's request. It's not so unusual for Japanese or Korean players to bring their own interpreters. Don't blame the Angels organization for Ippei. They have a lot of other issues but that's not one of them.
Am I a bad person because I really don't care ether way about this scandal? Baseball is so far behind in my want to go to and watch events that it appears desperately to need a scandal to get eyes on the game...
How can you relate an individual being betrayed and accused of stupid allegations and the popularity or your preference of sport. Yeah I think you are pretty awful
@@Shakazulu6.1 if this was football I would be more concerned but for some reason this just not bother me because it's baseball maybe I'm just a bad person because I hate baseball
The interpreter will go to jail for 2 years Mac and get a fat paycheck from MLB. He’s set up for life
lol, how about FBI ?
Ohtani is still a bad guy for sitting in silence and saying nothing while innocent women and children in Gaza starve.
