Counterpoint: It’s the ethical thing to do.
Wow, you’re THAT guy!
OMG, a ball player who took time off to take care of a kid would get seriously booed. What about his commitment to the game? Seems like a soft gloryboy to me!
Hmmm, the baseball fan I’m picturing in my head would totally be the type to cheer Reyes and think the NCAA rules are stupid.
I mean, if you’re saying that Mets fans are racist idiots... yes. But I don’t think there’s any natural affinity between people who support wife-beating Jose Reyes and people who think the NCAA rules are too tough.
The reason ppl though LeBron was an asshole was not because he left for more money and a chance to win (except for butthurt dead-enders in Cleveland, I mean), but because he produced a numbingly-boring hour-long ESPN special that was nothing but a circle jerk about what a great and honorable person he was, culminating…
You think the same people who are like “Aww, Jose Reyes shouldn’t get shit for breaking rules!” would be the same people being like, “THIS IS COLLEGE FOOTBALL, ALL RULES MUST BE OBEYED! GIVE THAT $200 BACK!”

But this isn’t just visiting Rio, it’s the Olympics. They’re supposed to fix the problems.
There are a lot more and different types now. Back then it was like, inject you with pure horse testosterone and nowadays it’s more complicated... also, whenever any of them get caught now, their go-to-response is “Well, I’m old and I suffered an injury and I just thought this HGH/mysterious…

It’s fucking hard to find a doctor in DC. In the nice parts of the city the doctors are full or only take cash. Seriously. I looked for a doctor who took my health insurance for fucking YEARS and when I found one, he sucked and then promptly retired and turned the practice over to new doctors who only took cash. I got…
Because if it’s truly walkable it’s the perfect place for someone with health problems. There’s a store next door. The library is across the street. The park is next to that. If you struggle to walk next door, you’re not going to be driving either – or shouldn’t be.
Also, doors can be kicked down, even if they're closed. Roofs can be taken off with a crane, no matter how much faith you have in their sturdy construction. And to open a closed car door you can just reach your arm through the window and use the handle on the inside, even if you have access to the outside handle and…
