Ariel Helwani getting owned by Kiké Hernández should end Dodgers WS discussion

Put the exclamation point on it.

Blue Jays fans seem to be mostly done crying about their World Series loss to the Dodgers, but Canadian media personality Ariel Helwani definitely isn't.

Helwani, who mostly deals in UFC content, took aim at the Dodgers on Nov. 4 when, during an episode of his podcast, he called the Dodgers "jacka—es" for their behavior at their World Series parade in LA.

"I thought they embarrassed themselves," he said. "There was this one clip where they’re marking the "ball being lodged" moment, you're mocking it. You're mocking a play that was controversial, in which you didn't play the ball and called for it to be a ground-rule double, and now you're laughing."

Yeah, man. We're laughing. It was funny and it saved the Dodgers' season. What is anyone supposed to do? Never acknowledge it because it'll hurt Blue Jays fans' feelings?

He also called out Kiké Hernández, who's been the most active provocateur of any Dodgers player since the series ended. "He fumbled his way through it, if we're being honest. He called himself the triple champ. I mean, yeah, you got an A on the group project, Kiké. Let's be honest, okay? I mean, if Pages doesn't catch that ball, you're remembered [as] the guy who missed Ernie Clement's fly ball, okay?" Helwani said.

Hernández, in typical Kiké fashion, responded, writing on Instagram, "Suck it. LOSER! Does 3x World Series Champ sound better than Triple Champ?"

Helwani doubled down and brought up Hernández's comment on his show again, talking about how appalled he was by the Dodgers' and LA fans' attitude toward him since the initial show. He even said that he invited Blake Snell and Hernández onto his show, noting, "I was gracious enough to invite them on my show, give them the rub, give them the platform, hash this out."

We're pretty sure that Blake Snell and Kiké Hernández don't need Ariel Helwani to give them a platform.

Helwani's entire argument seems to be based in a "Blue Jays fans would never do this" kind of sentiment, but were we all on the same internet throughout the entire series?

We'll never know how Blue Jays fans would've acted toward the Dodgers or Dodgers fans, because they didn't win the World Series. And that's that on that.
