speaking as a neutral from NZ I always enjoyed his commentary of White Sox games- I didn't know about his condition but it makes NO difference to me, he is good at what he does- will now enjoy his work with the Tigers next year.
White Sox loss; Detroit Tigers gain. A physical disability does NOT equate to a mental/intellectual disability. Some of the most intelligent or wise people who ever lived had physical disabilities that did not deter them from greatness.
That's the same thing I've been telling people all of these years when I was told I have autism but that didn't stop me I got two jobs and being successful while doing those jobs specifically
I am aretired Elevator Mechanic who has a friend that thinks I'm the smartest person he's ever met . He stutters , builds and flies his own stunt planes and is an Aircraft Crash INVESTIGATOR. The World is weird that way 🤔🫡
My Daughter was born with CP. Don’t know why or how. She now has a Masters Degree in Phyc, working full time and living independently for over 10 years. She gets UNDERESTIMATED ALL THE TIME. She’s Small but Mighty!!!
I had a friend with cp. He fell down a few stairs one day (refused to take the elevator). They forced him into an electric chair. He was doing doughnuts in the parking lot after a rain storm…. Bad Ass! Truly!
I love the representation and I know the struggle. I went to so many interviews and they would ask "Why do you walk like that?" "What's wrong with you?" "Did you really finish those degrees or tell me to mail them transcripts and for a couple of them I know I was the only one (ex. group interviews). I was told by some they did not have a working elevator and just so many illegal questions, but everyone blamed me for not getting the jobs and some told me to fake my walk until I got hired. It is so sad when people say people just want to get free money from the government when many of us are going out and looking and trying but if you don't let us in the door what other option do we have?
Vague allusions to there being some sort of nefarious reason he moved to Detroit, and a stated refusal to go into it, complete with a "Google it". That ain't any kind of journalism, sportsbro. As a westerner, I know nothing of this story, and Google returns some animosity over contract negotiations. The story appears, by highlighting his CP early, to be saying there's an accommodations issue. As a long time Disability Rights Advocate myself, who also happens to work at United Cerebral Palsy, I would actually like to know the part of the story that seemed to be the point of the story, but that ain't what we got. Gee, thanks Rick. /s
All these years I've been listening to Jason & Stone for White Sox games, and I didn't know he had cerebral palsy. If he ever mentioned it on air, during a broadcast I must of missed it. Even when the camera showed them talking about food, or saying good night I didn't notice.
We have a saying here; 'Detroit vs Everybody'. We've been a punchline, a punching bag, kicked when we're down, underestimated, mocked mercilessly but we've never given up. Welcome to Detroit Jason. Ernie Harwell is beaming right now.
Jason Deserves so much better . I was there when he took over from Hawk Harleson . Jason is amazing .i’m a White Sox fan but he needed to get away from this trash organization . He’s going to be amazing for the Tigers . I pray Jerry sells the team .
Sad to see Matt Shepard go from the our Tigers broadcast team, but pretty excited to welcome Jason to the town and the culture here. Detroit: We're all broken but hyper productive, proud but misunderstood, maligned but masters of the come back. Welcome to the "D", Jason. You'll fit right in.
Tha absolute most brilliant student I have ever taught has CP. Im pretty sure that many people afflicted with CP who are non communicative are far more cognizant than they are given credit for. Always greet them, look them in the eye, and treat them the same way you would as any person you perceive as "normal."
Jason is a MONSTER talent. Possibly a future HOFer. Management is clueless, so clueless. This combo was was sooo entertaining to hear. I’ll always remember how comforting it was to be entertained by Jason and Stoney during that time. Such a shame he was let go.
I stuck with the Sox this past year BECAUSE of Benneti and Stone. That team was abysmal and hard to watch play. Those two not only made it tolerable, they made it fun. The WS made a mistake in letting Jason get away.
Does Jerry Reinsdorf hate his fans for begging him to sell the team so he’s punishing them? I’ve never seen this before, he’s like the lady from the movie Major League
Yep. You are exactly right in your comparison. Reinsdorf is a horrible owner of a sports franchise and unfortunately for us Chicagoans he also owns the Bulls in the NBA too.
Steve Stone is gonna be board shitless again without Jason. When they started laughing at a stupid joke, it was contagious. I’ll wear my Jason bucket hat with pride! Best of luck kid, I wish the WS would of paid for you to stay.
I could watch the White Sox lose 150 games with Jason in the booth. Without him, and with the team's outlook in the dump, it's going to be really rough to be a Sox fan for the forseeable future. This was a bigger loss than Tim Anderson or Jose Abreu.
Great story on the future broadcasting legend. The title is seriously flawed. The White Sox didn't get rid of Jason Benetti. The tigers asked for permission to talk with him, and the Sox granted it. Benetti liked what the tigers were saying and made that decision on his own. That came from an Evan Woodbery article quoting Benetti himself. The Sox didn't have to grant permission, sure, but Benetti didn't have to leave either. The White Sox showed respect to the man to give him the freedoms to make his own decisions and he did. Benetti did what he thought was right for him and he deserves nothing but the best. I'm a Sox fan (love the Cubs too) and they've made some dumb decisions. But this isn't one of them. Screw "speculation " and rumors. The man said it himself. The Sox didn't get rid of him. They allowed him to leave on his own accord. It doesn't hurt any less for Sox fans, but we still love the guy, and I'm happy for him. Respect to the Sox and JB.
A Gent who is 1000 times more Brave than anyone of us!! Just Proves that some people in our society just think they are Better than anyone Just because they have Money ( 9-10 of them got their Money from their Daddy's ) Shame, Shame... Shame.
The powers in Detroit baseball will not make the same mistake the White Sox organization made. He will be welcome for the rest of his career here if he so chooses. He very quickly won over this fan base and it is no surprise. The man found his calling and passion. He is making the best of it.
The most intelligent man I ever knew had CP . Not only did he have the ambulatory problems he had speech problems. When it came to his mental abilities he was a superstar .
Why was he let go? There is an implication made here, that it is his disability, but not followed up upon. This is wrong to do, as we do not know if there are other factors. If it is because of his disability, then what the White Sox did would have civil and criminal repercussions.
I have been a White Sox fan for sixty years. The way they treated Jason is the worst of many worst from this horrible owner and the spineless idiotic yes men that he hires. I am entering the portal and seeking another team to sign me as a fan.
As Baseball FAN...I discovered Jason on my MLB Account...I WOULD watch The White Sox Just To Hear Jason...and I'm a Tigers Fan! I was beside myself when my Team got this GREAT, Smart, Warm, affable Announcer. I feel sorry for Chicago...I totally understand your Loss. Remember Jason---"The Nation Is On Your Side"! LOVE YOU MAN!!!
Most of us are underdogs: short, "ugly," overweight, old, not white, "broke,." The problem is that society is ok with class discrimination. So most of us experience that kind of treatment in one way or another.
@@linwoodnymph6113 You wish. I wish. Every victim wishes lol, but like I said, classism is our most cherished prjudice. Even school is designed to make us feel above the other students, and guess what? It's our compulsory institution. We are required to feel better than others. Ha!
People forget about capitalism; it can add you or subtract you. If you play in the field you can run the bases or strike out. Without job protection aka unions you are alone in the outfield.
@@galedribble9535 let me help you out.... you see- he wouldn't make a very good player and the Nets are not very good .... see where this is going ...? Good - now try to keep up.
Rick!! Love the video and although the video’s report is enough to subscribe I LOVE BENNETI since 2020 pandemic Korean games Jason announced with the ESPN crew (Wud up Boog and Perez!). White Sox loss, Tigers’ gain!! This dude is a national treasure and will go down as one of the best broadcasters in history!!! But I’m subscribing your channel for ONE reason: Your wall of album covers. All are my favorite albums but Midnight Marauders was the first CD I ever bought. Outkast, The Roots, Blackstar, and Rage against the Machine. We are brothers from different mothers!! Keep up the good commentary and can’t wait for the next video!!
It’s not explained well in this video, but the White Sox did not offer him a contract worth his value, and there were several members of the management and ownership that treated him disrespectfully.
Not sure how you could've missed it...White Sox owner had a swollen hard-on for him & used the (couldn't be farther from the truth) excuse that he didn't think he was 'humorous enuff' & let him go, then division rival Detroit scooped him up _immediately._
I'm keeping Jason a secret from my coworkers. The feeling of knowing something or someone before everyone knows him is selfish but such a great feeling. Can't wait to hear him instead of Gibson who was born a player and NEVER a broadcaster. You guys in Chicago had many great sports broadcasters. I am biased towards Chet Coppock myself, but that may change!
I know a couple people with cerebral palsy, one is mentally and physically affected, the other is only physically affected. You can be totally functional mentally and have cerebral palsy.
What became him was that picture of him at 6/7 y/0 with a microphone already in his hand! To this day I knew the voice, I always said he is one of the best announcers I’ve ever heard, did not know anything more! Now I know the “rest of the story” love the guy!
Agreed, nothingburger content compared to the title. If the standard is going to be that you're guilty of discrimination based on the fact that you fired someone who's a member of a specific group, then the reaction is going to be that employers will be deterred from hiring them in the first place.
An executive of the White Sox said disparaging things about his disability. They treated him with zero respect. This video fails to research and present the fullness of this story. I will miss Jason. He was the best.

If I was Jason’s parents, I would be bursting with pride that he was my son. I don’t even know him, and I’m proud of him…
Good for you, you're a true humanitarian.
As a Tigers fan, I am so psyched to have Jason calling our games. I hope he feels at home here.
Damn man! Great freaking story!!
I'm that guy who was raised as kid on "ABC's Wide World of Sports".
I'm more into motorsports such as MotoGP, IRL, F1. So you can understand why I had not heard of this guy till you told me this story.
Thanks man! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring story. Benetti is a winner in the big show -- the one that really matters.
This. Is. Wonderful!!
What a wonderful, painful, infuriating, EMPOWERING video!
I am not even gonna BEGIN to try and imagine what "administrative" dumbf*ckery went into Jason's departure.
I have loved watching / listening to Jason over the years
I'm a child & adolescent psychiatrist and have marveled at his fantastic voice, his linguistic PROWESS and his KNOCK-YOU-DOWN intellect
For ME and for all my "not normal" kids of 32 years of practice, someone like Jason is a hero - a beacon that keeps us other "different" folks from wandering off into the bog of "I don't belong"
Thank you for this LOVING TRIBUTE to a unique and gifted human being 🙏🏽
As a life long Tigers fan. I am beyond thrilled to get such a great broadcaster.
We’re thrilled here in Michigan and the Detroit area to have Jason here and look forward to being able to listen to him hopefully for decades to come.
Welcome to Detroit. Happy to have you on board. Looking forward to hearing you this season.
I'm excited to have him in Detroit broadcasting! He is a wholesome man & has passion for the game/life in general ❤💯
speaking as a neutral from NZ I always enjoyed his commentary of White Sox games- I didn't know about his condition but it makes NO difference to me, he is good at what he does- will now enjoy his work with the Tigers next year.
What is going on with my Chicago sports teams? One calamity after another.
As a Tigers fan....ty Sox for the gift...and its not even Xmas!

Welcome to Detroit Jason !. I hope you will be able to transmit the passion of the fans to the rest of the country. Chicago's loss is Motown gain.
A Windy City's Fog becomes a Motor City's Oil.

Lifelong Sox Fan this is an all time low
I never knew he had a disability
Jason one of the best in the business
What a hero! I have autism and have struggled for years with people's assumptions of my disability, even from my parents. Thank you, Sir!❤
Jason Deserves so much better . I was there when he took over from Hawk Harleson . Jason is amazing .i’m a White Sox fan but he needed to get away from this trash organization . He’s going to be amazing for the Tigers . I pray Jerry sells the team .
Tigers made a good move. Jason saying he can hold a conversation is very modest he is one of the top notch play by play guys in Baseball.
I love this guy. So glad he’s coming to Detroit
Sad to see Matt Shepard go from the our Tigers broadcast team, but pretty excited to welcome Jason to the town and the culture here. Detroit: We're all broken but hyper productive, proud but misunderstood, maligned but masters of the come back. Welcome to the "D", Jason. You'll fit right in.
Matt is NOT play by play material. He was a stop-gap by Chris Illitch .... which means - DOING THE JOB ON THE CHEAP.
Boycott Little Caesars.... !
As a lifelong Sox fan, I can say you are in for a treat. He’s one of the best broadcasters in the game.
Wishing you the best in Detroit

I have cerebral palsy too I know exactly how he feels what he's saying and how people treat him.

An obviously very talented man that it sounds like got screwed over.
my thoughts exactly.

I’m a Syracuse University alumnus and I’m proud of my fellow alumnus Jason.
As if I didn't despise that organization enough already.
Classes move!!!
It's embarrassing. I want nothing to do with that team.
Just loved this guy suffering White Sox games. I'm so pissed they could let him leave. I'm sure Steve Stone is crying in in Mogan David.
This man is inspiring
Welcome to Detroit, brother! 🤘
We're very excited to have him aboard!

There isn't one...and they also didn't 'get rid' of him
Detroiter here. We know.
How did it backfire again? I missed it. Did they get rid of him or did they let him walk? The title is a bit of a click bait.
My feelings exactly
he's amazing
We are all differently abled!
Another stellar Reinsdorf move... SELL THE TEAM!!!!
Steve Stone is gonna be board shitless again without Jason. When they started laughing at a stupid joke, it was contagious. I’ll wear my Jason bucket hat with pride! Best of luck kid, I wish the WS would of paid for you to stay.

I heard that Jerry didn’t think Jason was funny and he didn’t sugar coat the mess of the team enough for the owner.
Sad day to be a White Sox fan.
for the past 8 years......

Your title teases something that you do not deliver. That is unacceptable.
endeavor to persevere
A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man
walk ..don't run...
Wait the way you describe it is that he chose to leave the White Sox to go to the tigers. That's different than a team getting rid of him.
The heading is pretty misleading.
It’s not explained well in this video, but the White Sox did not offer him a contract worth his value, and there were several members of the management and ownership that treated him disrespectfully.
