No, it’s pretty Byzantine....apparently some chick reporter, hanging out in the men’s locker room was wearing a purple domestic violence support bracelet, and the GM asst was excited about a player with a domestic violence accusation.
So manager being happy about a good player who was accused of domestic violence, it happened in a wild celebration immediately after winning the pennant, burt happened in front of a chick, wearing a certain protest bracelet, and the manager should have known purple meant domestic violence... but he didnt, so the chick was triggered.
It’s all unclear how any of it relates to baseball.
I remember when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup back in 1972. Those players got utterly hammered along with GM Harry Sinden. At one point, they started filling up the Stanley Cup with champagne and started passing it around, including to the reporters.
Those were crazy times.
Anyway, the Houston Astros have not learned the vital lesson: Never bend a knee to the outrage mob. Never!
As a result, they are about to get blown out of the World Series.
Yes, the incident has little to do with baseball but what happened in the back offices has obviously poisoned the efforts on the field. The Astros lost Game 2 by a score of 12-3 on their home field last night and now trail the series 2 games to 0 with the next three games in enemy territory.
They are basically screwed as a team and as an organization.
It sad, they had a great series against New York and came into the World Series with high hopes and good prospects. Now all of that has been flushed down the toilet like a bunched up napkin full of phlegm.
But those Bruins...they were on top of the world back in the early 1970s.
Well it's only alleged domestic violence at this point, right? I don't follow baseball so I really wasn't even sure who Osuna was. 8>)
No longer is presumed innocence the hallmark of justice. Shame.
