"I will never apologize for protecting player rights."
--Tony Clark
That was a statement from Tony Clark, a former ballplayer and now the MLB Player's Union head... and a hack I may add. Remember, the Astros were cheating, but yeah this makes sense. Tool.
IT'S ABOUT INTEGRITY, TONY CLARK... NOT PROTECTING WRONGDOING! Are all these people just idiots? Have they forgotten what character and integrity and doing right and wrong is all about? Do they realize they are right now on the biggest stage, under the biggest microscope with the world watching? With our KIDS WATCHING? Baseball is right around the corner. Kids play baseball, watch their favorites and what we are now saying to them is "You can cheat. You can do whatever you want because there is no punishment."
Tony Clark stressed there are no regrets about requesting — and receiving — immunity for the players. “I will never apologize for protecting player rights.”— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) February 21, 2020
Tony Clark should be ashamed of himself and if he had any ounce of integrity he would say to Rob Manfred, "Hey, I'm all about protecting the players but what was found in your report is damning, and we need to come to a common ground and fix it."
I mean, is Clark afraid of backlash from the players? Cause I have news for you.. have you looked outside Tony Clark? The baseball world is turned upside down, and while you think you're not part of the problem... you are... YOU ALL ARE!
This isn't about a disagreement between owner and player, Tony. This isn't about a contract dispute, or players wanting more sunflower seeds in the dugout during games or finalizing contracts. Bro... this is about a clear cut case of cheating using a highly strategic technological plan and execution to win ball games for a long time. 2017 for sure... but there is no question as things keep coming out that 2018 and 2019 are in question for the Astros as well.
Think Tony... think. You are part of the problem. But you can fix it. Listen to the players that fall under your jurisfiction. Cody Bellinger. Aaron Judge. Trevor Bauer. Mike Trout. These are the players that play the game at the highest level... they know it's wrong... the fans know it's wrong... even Rob Manfred said it was wrong... but in the end, you asked for protection???? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
Get your head straight or step down! You are a horrible leader and have no character you piece of garbage.
I am happy to report that this story is not going away any time soon. That's because our baseball leaders are driving the train to failure. Keep banging the drum everyone... the Astros are a lousy, cheating crew and they must be punished! And right about now I think Manfred and Clark need to sit down and fix it... or lose their jobs!
