Nothing too sinister about that. Unless you're a left=handed batter who can't hit a decent curve ball. Dude, it could also be former Angels’ ace Kelvim Escobar’s family.

He's just noting that the name is forever going to make him think of Pablo. He'd probably have the same response if a family named the Gorbachevs moved in next door. "As in...? Nah. Couldn't be. Could it?" Besides which, Bryan, Oliver’s not even saying that the family runs a drug cartel or implying any sort of wrongdoing on their part.

The victims of campaigns which suggest this sort of comparison with Obama probably make the same association. One cannot therefore roll ones' eyes when that old lady says "I ain't voting for Hussain", if you feel these name associations are involuntary, no? AB, I never suggested this.

You can be called Escobar and have nothing to do with drugs, just like you can have Hussain as a middle name and not be a muslim/& etc. I’m not bothered, but aren’t you doing exactly the same thing you are criticising others for here, thus leaving yourself wide open?
