Balta1701 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Dude, you could have added the names so I didnt' have to click through. I really didn't want to click through. Among those expected to be charged are the younger brother of Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor, also named Rougned, and Yohel Pozo, a top catching prospect, both 19 years old. The players facing potential charges have been told not to leave the country, according to sources. Video of the alleged assault, which took place toward the end of October, was captured and posted on Snapchat, according to sources. A 10-second clip of video, obtained by Yahoo Sports, shows the alleged victim in a Rangers shirt and Rangers shorts laying on a bed with his arms held behind his back and his legs pinned down. At least four men are seen in addition to the alleged victim, whose penis is exposed, grabbed and maneuvered underneath a hand towel. All of the men in the video, including the alleged victim, are seen laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I think this is probably worse than cutting up jerseys. These guys are going to be so heckled the rest of their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'm confused about the circumstances. Are they there for winter league? Are they guys who played stateside in the summer? I'm assuming most/all live in DR, but it sounds like they were with the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 The homoertotic nature of most locker rooms occasionally bleeds through with tales like this. These guys are so insecure at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) It's pretty messed up and disgraceful from "professionals" but these are teenagers and boys will be boys. No excuse. We were all teenagers too, and we didn't sexually abuse anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Sox Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I hope the Rangers make a strong statement and tell the perpetrators to beat it. (Sorry, nothing funny about sexual harassment. I'll show myself out...) Edited November 21, 2016 by Dizzy Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Who knows? Maybe they were re-enacting Cesar Izturis' special home run celebration with Aramis Ramirez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm assuming all Rangers prospects playing winter ball? But still....1 of the weirder stories I've ever read in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not "boys being boys" that's sickening. Boys being boys tease each other over small things like sports or what they're wearing. They're not masturbating each other.

They don't have the homophobic society America does and they like to mess around. SMH So are you saying that most Dominicans wouldn't find this behavior weird and would approve? I doubt it.

Jose Abreu Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) What? Homophobia is not gender specific. By law, in America at least, they committed sexual assault. I don't know the law in DR but we'll see if the laughing victim presses charges on his friends. What I meant is that it doesn't matter that they're all the same gender. It's still sexual assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
