I’ve got good news for you and your fragile little “conscience”, Joey:

You had nothing to do with the death of some drugged-out criminal in Minneapolis.

However there’s some bad news too:

Given your support and encouragement for the rioters, you ARE to some degree responsible for the numerous murders, assaults, destruction of property etc. which have been suffered by truly innocent people (unlike Saint Floyd) at the hands of racist monkeys and gutless punkies in cities across this country.

It is usually best for pro athletes to keep their mouths shut.
If you do that all your fans will assume you agree with them on whatever issue they care about. Once you start to talk you will lose fans. You can also lose your job, as there are always dozens of players ready to take your place. For Votto this doesn’t matter because his career is almost over anyway.
I’ve noticed that the big PGA golfers avoid politics.

MLB needs to investigate Votto for racism. He is far too vague and soulless and unrepentant here - he is obviously a guilty man.

I want is to be attacked by one of obama’s sons or an antifa punk ****

Never happen because they won’t take on anyone capable one-on-one. Two or

more will be against you. They are cowards.

Since Votto p*ssed on his home country Canada in 2018, you Americans own him. You can have Trudeau, Jim Carrey and Bieber too.

Yeah and unless you knocked out the first guy fast, it’s only in the movies that one guy beats up two or three.

I did have three guys taking shots at me once and I was swinging back but it was broken up after several dozen punches by an off-duty cop or it would have gone downhill very fast

The other few times that I was attacked by more than one guy I didn’t even get off a bunch. There were just too many punches coming in.

But in today’s movies a 100-pound woman can beat up 6 guys :-)

My wife thinks that Antifa are just regular people who are protesting police brutality.

I can only assume these people are getting advice from image consultants that it is good business to virtue signal like this. I hope that some BLM activist is taking notes and demands that all of these contrite celebrities start putting their money where their mouth is. Like 90% of it.

A wealthy no doubt but currently unemployed baseball player with too much time on his hands.

Can’t wait to hear Cunningham on this one - 700 WLW at Noon.

Cowardly athletes who kneel to their masters! What kind of man apologizes for his race? Joey Votto is over the hill and the Reds fans should rub him out of town.

A paycheck can make some people say such idiotic things

This collective guilt nonsense leads to great injustice. Individuals commit crimes, not groups.

Our entire justice system is being corrupted by this leftist insanity and must be resisted. Thugs promoting this must be identified and responded to.

Joey Votto has lots of free time to self-flagellate without baseball. He’s always been a bit of an odd duck.

"If you "complicit" then what should your punishment be????"

That is the obvious next question. And what will the answer be?

In Mao's cultural revolution it wasn't sufficient to admit to your sins, you also had to do actual penance.
