Kind of bizarre to see the morality card being played.

joejoesox Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) On 7/11/2023 at 3:52 AM, South Side Hit Men said: Even bigger contrast between Anderson and Clevinger. Anderson is doing the right thing, taking care of the child financially, saying he is also a part of his life. Meanwhile Clevinger allegedly did not pay/withheld child support, was accused of beating the child's mother and spitting tobacco in his child's face, confiscating the child's documents, and engaging in other forms of abuse. People have either said nothing or were adamant "he is innocent based on MLB sham investigated primarily to protect the interests of ownership (do you want to honor the contract, is this case bad PR for the team, etc.).. wait, he admitted this? yikes edit: oof https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/tim-anderson-opens-up-about-extramarital-affair/ well at least we don't have to speculate about why he's a garbage player now, turns out he's also a garbage human being Edited July 12, 2023 by joejoesox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a poster on this very page admit he cheated on his wife repeatedly, and seemed to be shocked that that's what ended his marriage and his family... Something like 1 in 5 married men cheat on their wives. I imagine that's much higher for professional athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clev accusations are way different, that’s describing a violent crime. Cheating is not a crime even if I think it’s immoral. Regular people do it all the time, but my exact point is why are you looking at a baseball shortstop for moral guidance? I say once more, his wife obviously forgives him and wants to remain married to him. Why is your opinion on this matter stronger than hers? Oh yeah it’s cuz it’s Tim Anderson, resident whipping boy, his sin being…anyone can read between the lines about why everything applies extra to Tim. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who exactly is looking at a baseball shortstop for moral guidance? Who is insinuating that his/her opinions are stronger than said shortstop's wife? People choose who to root for. They make a choice to spend their time and/or money rooting for a player or a team. When a player has obvious behavioral problems (i.e. cheater, shouting racial epithets at opposing players, comparing himself to the beloved Jackie Robinson, telling the fans to f- themselves) people make sound judgements not to root for said player. I know you're trying to associate criticism of a players behavior with with his race but you're the only one obsessed with this and you're the only one pretending not to know that people's opinions about him have not been formed in a vacuum. No where has anybody but you insinuated anything about Anderson other than calling out his poor behavior. By the way, I saw Pat Fitzgerald on the cover of the paper today for being fired for his poor behavior. I've never seen Anderson's behavior on the cover of the paper. Maybe I just missed that edition, it is not impossible. I agree with @joejoesox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just missed that edition, it is not impossible. I agree with @joejoesox. I'm not the one who's obsessed, you are, I just call a spade a spade and stay true to the idea that I like sports for the sporting aspect of it and not the TMZ-esque personal drama. If I cared about that, I'd watch the Kardashians instead of baseball. You might prefer that brand of entertainment. And obviously there's a giant difference between rooting for a guy who cheated on his wife (wow incredible an athlete, had an affair...) and one who is accused of criminally assaulting his spouse (regarding Clev. I'll still cheer for him to have a good ERA because whatever investigations took place didn't find anything. I bet he has anger issues that affect his personal relationships even if he isn't a criminal and I hope he figures it out for his own sake. In the mean time, I hope he pitches well). Don't be obtuse to compare the two. I speculate that it stems from some personal insecurity that infidelity is a worse offense to you than an alleged assault. I also speculate that it's racially motivated but I really don't want to have this discussion on a baseball forum and won't mention it further. It's just I think kind of obvious why some athletes receive this bizarre level of personal hatred from the fans who are supposed to be cheering them on. I bet if Luis Robert spoke English he'd get the same level of it. People call him slurs too and I think it's sort of disappointing for a baseball team that's located on the south side of Chicago...anyway. It is true of all athletes (pretty much any public figure) that fans will redirect their personal hang-ups onto them. That's part of the reason they get paid the big bucks, they have to have thick skins and deal with it. I still think it's weird. Few days off of baseball so now let's talk about how shitty they are as human beings. Some of the remarks about Giolito getting a divorce, it's like....maybe this is actually a Catholic church forum and I got lost somewhere. Who cares? I wish him the best through it as I would anyone else but I really don't care about a stranger's divorce!! Why should you? You care more about Tim's infidelity than his wife does, get a life! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I read Ball Four when I was about 13. One of the quips was about returning to the airport after a road trip and meeting their wives.
