Today John Rocker, a low life pitcher from the 90’s,(didn’t really do much) decided that he wanted another 15 minutes of fame. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3241448
For those of you who do not remember Mr. Rocker, Rocker’s controversial past includes a 1999 Sports Illustrated story, where he was quoted as saying he would never play for a New York team because he didn’t want to ride a subway train “next to some queer with AIDS.” He also mocked foreigners and described an unnamed Latin teammate as a “fat monkey.” Rocker later issued a statement admitting he went too far and told ESPN that his comments made him sound like “a complete jerk.” Rocker was later suspended until May 1, 2000, and fined $20,000.
Being a Latino-American, Mr. Rocker is not one of my favorite players, but hey I have put that hate to rest…
Basically Rocker said that Bud Selig knew he had failed a drug test in 2000 and that the MLB gave him advice on how to use steroids.
Come on, are you kidding me, this is just the case of some fool who wants to be heard from again. So please America don’t listen to this shock jock without a show. He is just making stuff up just so people like me have to comment on him. If he is right I will give him some dap, but until then he has been…
BLACK LISTED (its a new thing I am starting)
In other news, there is a video making the tabloid rounds featuring Pedro Martinez dropping a chicken into a cockfight(illegal in U.S.) But the fight took place in the Dominican Republic, the land of Pedro’s birth. There it is totally legal and considered an honor to drop the chicken into the ring.
So of course our lovely friends at PETA (not the tasty animals one,) have of course clamoured for Pedro’s throat.
Come on people!!! America is all about culture!!! This is culture in the D.R, I know I have been there!!!!! My family is from there!!! Please don’t compare this to Michael Vick because I guarentee most of the Dominican players in America have participated in this sometime in the D.R.!!!!! This is no big deal so don’t over react!!! PETA needs to get over themselves and focus on other stuff like animal testing. Stay away from this, but Pamela Anderson…..you can stay right here…..
