Ozzie Guillen. Not a bad guy.
From the Chronicle:
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen found a way to honor the fallen (Oakland) officers, writing "OPD" on the front of his cap with a silver marker.
"There's no reason to take a person's life," he said. "It's a hard day for the Bay Area. I've never seen anything sadder than a police funeral. If it's police or fireman or military and you take their life away because they're protecting our country, it's a sad thing. It's a sad day not just for the Bay Area but the United States."

Nah, he just hates fags.
Seriously though it was a nice gesture.

What am I missing? Did he say something disparaging?

No, he has “OPD” on his hat to recognize the four members of the Oakland Police Department who were shot.

Or do you not remember the time he time he called Jay Mariotti a fag?

Guillen, upset that Mariotti hadn’t interviewed him for the column said: “What a piece of shit he is, a fucking fag.”4 After he called Mariotti a fag, Guillen said that he didn’t know what it meant in the US, and that in Venezuela it has to do with someone’s courage. Guillen was fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball and ordered to attend sensitivity training. He at first said he wouldn’t attend any classes, but later relented and attended them.
I was just referring to that, which has nothing to do with him writing OPD on his hat. I did recognize that it was a nice gesture for him to make for the terrible thing that happened.

In Italian, bassoon is “fagoto,” a bundle of sticks. It’s probably the only woodwind that’s still made of wood, so there it is.

He called Jay Mariotti, among other things, “a garbage”. I got a good laugh out of it
