We tolerate many things in our professional athletes. From DUIs to sexual assault allegations to murdering dogs. (Fuck you Michael Vick you walking piece of shit I hope you die in a fucking fire.) But one thing that we don’t tolerate is lack of effort. You can be almost anything you want to be outside the lines, but the second your feet hit that playing field you better be giving everything you’ve got. Hanley Ramirez is paying the price for not giving everything he had during a game. Just like the old rule, “if you think you might be gay then you’re gay.” If a player is ever accused of giving questionable effort it’s because he wasn’t trying.
As a people we are extremely forgiving. Get drunk and drive, that’s ok as long as you don’t kill anyone. Have sex with a woman in the bathroom at a bar? Well that’s your word against hers and I guess we have to give you the benefit of the doubt. Be a barbaric asshat and murder dogs in as many ways as you can? FUCK YOU VICK YOU SHITBURGER I HOPE A FUCKING ELEPHANT USES YOU AS A HUMAN SIZED SUPPOSITORY. I mean, give a half-hearted press conference where you say you’re sorry and we’ll let the whole thing slide. But Han-Ram didn’t even have the intelligence to do that, instead when asked about being benched he had a temper tantrum where he said his manager doesn’t know shit about baseball because he didn’t play in the majors. Ramirez has realized that the public wasn’t going to put up with his petulant attitude and has since issued an apology but once you do something like this no one forgets about it. Anyone remember how popular Roberto Alomar was before he spit in that umpires face? No, what everyone remembers is a guy spitting in the umps face on national television. Guess what Hanley, this was your Waterloo and unfortunately you just played the part of Napoleon.
So long popular Han-Ram, we hardly knew ya.
Fuck you Vick.
