I'm not saying this ballplayer is one of them, necessarily. But the timeliness of celebrities who "volunteer" their support to particular causes is a skewed percentage to individuals who cast their voice to hot button issues with perfectly timed media attention.
Actors and those in entertainment would be more susceptible to nice financial deals to keep to a particular public script. Given the fat accounts of SEIU, etc., it just makes me wonder who is getting paid to say what.
Sean Penn comes to mind. Hugo was probably able to pay a princely sum for the friendship of a "big Hollywood American" to give him validity.
Because an actor or athlete is well-known, it doesn't mean their financial situation is secure. An extra couple of hundred thousand plus travel and expenses for a few years would be nice.
Just like politicians who make their living saying what we want to hear, it seems there is another psuedo pol group paid to stick to a script.
Perhaps a conservative celebrity is a rarity because we don't pay well.
Perverts and their supporters are everywhere...........

Back in the mid to late ‘80s, a Washington player died of AIDS - the guy on the news cracked a joke about how he had been a good tight end. Today, the news guy would be fired.
