Its A Shame About Mookie Betts

[steelerssb]

Agreed. Mookie looks like a fool injecting politics into sports.

I can't believe a trip to the White House to see the president could turn political.

This simpleton, who has probably never read a book in his life, other than a comic book/QUOTE]

Yeah so? Everyone is a racist in one-way or another.

Many here, especially the narcissists, would disagree with you.

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Please. He’s better than Obama. And it’s really not even close.

But eamagerd.....he says mean things.

I wish him saying mean things was the worst thing about him.

Obama wasn't good, but he looks like a genius next to Trump.

Well everyone has their opinions on the SportsHoopla.

 

[redseat]

Yep and Mookie didn't go into a big speech about why he's not going.

He kept it short and sweet which it should be....kept politics out of it

“I won’t be going there,” Betts said. “I decided not to.”

That is freaking perfect

Exactly. That's all he has to say about it.

 

[steelerssb]

I still the OP should explain why he doesn't think Mookie has ever read a book...

 

[The Derski]

Mookie is an adult and can make his own decisions. Like someone said earlier, I’m sure he won’t regret missing out on the pyramid of Big Macs.

 

[JohnU]

I suppose every single person in Congress has a damned opinion on the Super Bowl, so why don't these politicians stay the fuck out of sports? Mookie pays more taxes than most of us do. If he wants to skip a meeting at the White House, he doesn't need our permission. At least he isn't lying to a grand jury. I don't recall he said anything about race.

I listened to his post game in the World Series and he can barely be understood. "We be playin' our best baseball now". What the.........

 

[steelerssb]

I listened to his post game in the World Series and he can barely be understood.

For shits and giggles I just re-watched it and he is as articulate as can be, other than him speaking quietly in a loud crowd it's easy to understand him.

But yeah I am sure that is your reason.

So gay

 

[steelerssb]

So gay

That's what I thought.

Just come out and say why you really don't think he's read a book. We all know the answer.

 

[TKOSpikes]

OP burn his Shea Hillenbrand jersey yet?

 

[Montalban]

That's what I thought.

His ignorance?

 

[steelerssb]

His ignorance?

Wrong. You gave a bullshit reason, got called on it and are now switching why.

What exactly did he say that's so ignorant, anyway?

I bet you thought Tim Thomas never read a book either when he decided not to go to the White House when Obama was there, too.

I've stated my case quite eloquently. If you can't get it. Sorry for ya.

No, you haven't. That's what people say when they know they've been called on their shit.

But hey, I'm sure you thought Tim Thomas was just as ignorant for not going in 2011

 

[Montalban]

No, you haven't. That's what people say when they know they've been called on their shit.

There's no "shit" for you to call me on. I stated my case eloquently and accurately. You don't like it and that's your problem. You are hung up on race.

 

[steelerssb]

You are hung up on race.

I'm just taking what is given. After all, you did post:

That would be OK. But it is about race. if this was President Obama, Betts would be there in a heartbeat.

When Mookie never said anything about Trump, let alone anything about racial politics. So who is hung up on race, exactly?

You and Betts. Your ridiculous comparison to Thomas made me laugh but really wasn't worth a comment other than to say Thomas was villified in the press for refusing to go see the President. Betts, on the other hand, is being presented as some kind of champion for civil rights for displaying his racism.
