He quit on his team, and that's enough for me to dislike him. I'm not talking about the team collapse. He didn't say its a football town. He said it's not a baseball town. That part doesn't bother me now, but when that was added to him quitting then it pissed me off even more. Then his trashy wife said we should've put a ring on it after Josh told JD he would allow the Rangers a chance to match, which he didn't.I said, "I have never understood the amount of hate some fans express towards him." That doesn't mean I don't understand why he is disliked. I think there is a big difference between dislike and hate, but there isn't for some folks. I do realize there are some folks who think they have to hate everything they don't love, but I have never understood why they feel that way. That goes a lot further than just baseball though.
It seems to me there were many players on that 2012 team who didn't give their all down the stretch. They collapsed again the next season without Josh being here. That is what ultimately happens under a player's manager who only knows how to discipline rookies and very young players.
He said this is a football town. There have been many others down through the years to express those sentiments as well. The implication that it can't also be a baseball town is wrong no matter if Josh was saying it or whoever else might say it. I think Josh was wrong in the implications behind his statement, but it is nothing to hate or even dislike him for in my opinion.
