You’re really gonna do this all season? Really?

Stop.
“What he did during the offseason is none of my personal business,”
This is such a refreshing thing to read from a fan. I completely, 100% agree. I can’t stand how sports have turned into TMZ and fans care more about what players do in their free time than what they do on the field.
Obviously all DV suspensions should be lifetime bans. This is America. We do not believe in rehabilitation of criminals, especially if they’re minorities.
He wasn’t convicted by a court of law but rather by MLB’s Let’s Pretend We Care About DV Kangaroo Court. Between this and the campus “rape” tribunals at least the Left is being clear they have no respect for due process. Roland Freisler would feel very at home at Deadspin and Jezebel.
They’re Mets fans. I don’t know what else you expected.
Is this Jezebel?
Gee, Burt - maybe they shoulda thrown rocks? WTF? Should they have booed? His fucking wife didn’t cooperate but Mets fans have some social responsibility?
Guy’s reputation is pretty much ruined, his suspension cost him $7M or so and his family has forgiven him and he’s acknowledged his crime and he understands that people will hate him for it.
You know that article about a week ago blasting Schefter for saying there is no politics in sports. Well this seems a suitable counterpoint. When the game is on and a win is on the line, none of the fans truly give a shit about anything else.
It serves the narrative that you are irredeemable, which is obviously false. I guess the question becomes, at what point do we separate an act from the perpetrator. Jose Reyes will always be considered a wife beater but at what point does he no longer get it mentioned along his name in every instance?
Jeebus, I despite the Yankees so much, and now there’s a reason to do so for the Mets, aside from Colon’s deadbeat child support. Don’t make me a fan of the Bodymore Orioles.
So I guess all the comments know for a fact Kang is guilty just like Patrick Kane and the Duke Lacrosse Team.
Unless you know Kang personally, he is nothing but a stranger who plays baseball. Why act surprised when a stranger brakes the law? Most athletes smile at charity events, kiss babies, sign hats, etc.... doesn’t make them good people, just good at PR.
Sucks from a baseball perspective, sure, whatever. But on a human…
If you said “Ray Lewis never killed nobody” you’d be right.
Yeah, cuz apparently no one killed anyone that night.
Yeah, bc this all about whether or not fans get to feel closure. Hate to break it to you, but “your” team doesn’t even know who are, and this incident has nothing to do with you.
Didn’t Ray Lewis stabbing that guy to death kinda soften the Ray Rice blow though?
“The judge later dismissed the case when he determined Kang couldn’t possibly fit inside the woman.”
Between this guy, Big Ben, and the fact that last time I was in Pittsburgh, every third billboard was an anti-rape PSA, the place creeps me out. Is there something in the water?
