witesoxfan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Black kids don't play baseball because they don't have role models in the game. You're making a hell of a good argument for your case Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making a hell of a good argument for your case Gary. Not only that, but it's not a popular sport in urban areas. I only played until high school and that's because most of my friends that played quit due to the coach not making it a fun experience anymore.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i just heard a clip on the radio this morning where he blames all his problems on women. Then andre kramer asked if he takes any responsibility and he responds "well i picked 'em" This guy should really not ever talk in public again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner Sheffield's out of the game of baseball, the better. Maybe he can take his bff, Joe Morgan, with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 In a related note, anybody see what Morrissey said in the Trib today about Jesse Jackson comments. That's racist!!! First I wish Nuke was around to blast Jesse. Second, I largely agree with Morrissey (which I guess is better that agreeing with Mariotti). Third, my bladder can not hold enough urine to allow me to adequate express myself on Jesse's grave when he is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 It wasn't meant to be green. He says some very stupid things, and I think he's an idiot based on everything he's ever said, but he says what he wants to say and he doesn't let anyone censor him. I appreciate that he doesn't let anyone shut him up -- not the PC crowd, not management, not people who simply disagree with him or the people who think he's an idiot. He speaks his mind without fear. He's straightforward, and for that I say God bless Gary Sheffield. More people should be like Gary Sheffield. Except smarter.

So you like the idea of a world full of insulting, ignorant assholes? Because god bless 'em, they speak their minds? There is a difference between not allowing yourself to be censored by the PC crowd in some noble way, and just being an asshole. Sheffield is just an asshole.

Gregory Pratt Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I don't begrudge him his right to be an idiot, and I don't begrudge him the right to say what he feels like saying. I say God bless him because often, people say something controversial, everyone goes nuts ("How dare he!" "He owes us an apology!" "Poop mouth...!") and then the person says, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said what I thought because it bothers you." Sheffield doesn't play that, homie. I just wish he were smarter, and had something worth saying, but the fact that he says what he thinks and feels without fear is admirable in its own way. I just wish he were smarter!

Gregory Pratt Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I will say this, also. I'm being sarcastic I'm all for free speech, but I'm also very much into "having a clue what the f*** you're talking about," and Sheffield doesn't fit that, IMO. I do appreciate people who have something worth saying, even if it's unpopular who speak out a ton -- Ozzie, in baseball, is one; Truman, in history, is another -- but no, Sheffield hardly qualifies, and I'm just teasing.
