How Can You Not Love Derek Jeter

I'm just a little confused.

Click here to see the whole story, but basically Derek Jeter was threatened.

The Daily News reported that the hate mail to the Yankees' 31-year-old captain called him a ``traitor to his race'' for dating white women. It warned him ``to stop or he'll be shot or set on fire,''

So Derek has a white mother, and a black father, who can he date?

I love the fact that he and his parents have transcended race barriers to make such a great kid.

It is every fathers dream to have their boy grow up to be the captain of the Yankees, or maybe that's just my dream. But either way, what is wrong with poeple, if you can find a lasting love in this day and age, whatever their race, why would you pass it up?

Derek, in a totally true to form, pure class move, downplayed the letter.

You gotta love this guy, even if you hate him for being winner.
