[MIchaelTArchangel]

I guess he received a self-induced permanent ban from playing baseball.

[Ann Archy]

SHOCKED!!!

[clintonh8r]

Another victimless crime....unless you ask the families of the other two.

So much for the squeaky clean image. Tragic, really, when one considers the potential.

[Eddie01]

What a F’n moron. F’ him.

Hope he suffered.

Cocaine + alcohol + boating at night + high speed fast boat = death

[ETL]

From 2013...

“Jose Fernandez -the NL Rookie of the Year in 2013 - came to the United States by boat as a 15-year-old Cuban refugee in 2008. Along the way, he rescued his mother, who had fallen overboard.

However, his beloved grandmother, who Fernandez calls a “baseball freak,” was left behind.

“She’s the love of my life... my everything,” Fernandez said.

The day before winning the Rookie of the Year Award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

August 30, 2016

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

[1960s/original] Black Panther Party [BPP] Archives
From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Sad, a talent wasted.

[Maudeen]

Not to berate anyone’s death. . .but, I believe the entire sports world needs a first class enema or a grand send off. . .as in goodbye. Little if no redeeming qualities are displayed on or off the field/court. Role models for kids - not.

[KevinB]

.147 is very messed up. Add the coke and he was totally blotto. Of course, the authorities immediately declared that alcohol and drugs did not appear to be a factor. When a boat crashes full speed into a well-known jetty at 3:00 a.m. alcohol and/or drugs are presumed.

[SES1066]

It is heart-breaking because he always seemed to be a ‘good kid’ BUT like so many other young, suddenly wealthy athletes, he failed a significant test of maturity, that of the danger of mixing driving, intoxicants and darkness!

R.I.P. with prayers for his family, fans and other loved ones!

[Dallas59]

I hate it when cocaine and and alcohol FORCE themselves on you!

[Tijeras_Slim]

No surprise, but sad.

[PLMerite]

Sad. What was it Robin Williams said, “Cocaine is God’s way of telling you that you have too much money.”

[Nifster]

Yup some forms of stupid can’t be fixed

[Ken H]

He was just working on his goof ball.
