    Re: Sheffield Rips Classic

    Sheffield didn't hold playing in the World Baseball Classic in the same high esteem as playing in the Olympics.

    "This isn't the Olympics," he told the Daily News. "That's a big difference. This is something you made up."
    What's the big difference between the Olympics and this? This guy is an idiot.

      Sheffield's an idiot. I am so glad he didn't resign with the Braves last year.

        It makes me sick to think this tool once played in Atlanta.

          Memo to Gary Sheffield: You're being paid millions of dollars to play a game. STFU.

          Does it strike anyone else that American players are far, far less concerned with being role models and ambassadors for the game than foreign players are? It just seems like the sense of entitlement of American players is so much higher than their foreign counterparts and they could care less about what people (especially kids) think of them.

            It's not as important as the Olympics to Sheffield, that same Olympics that if I remember correctly, Sheffield never played in, and had Michael Lamb as the star of the USA baseball team.

            What a joke USA athletes are. Every other country and players couldn't be happier to represent their countries. Yet in the USA we have to send a roster of minor leaguers because our stars "get paid in the season" you know, since they're so strapped for cash making $15 million dollars a year. Give me a break. I'm ashamed to say guys like Sheffield were born in the USA.

              Why must Sheffield make himself sound like an idiot? He could've just been like a lot of other guys and say, "I don't want to risk getting hurt for the real season," but by saying ,"My season is when I get paid," really makes him sound like an arrogant jerk.

              He's been a real piece of work lately.
              So you would rather him lie? I'm all for athletes telling people what they actually mean. I'm sick of hearing these scripted answers to questions.

              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                Nowhere in the contract does it say that someone has to be a rolemodel. They are paid to play whatever game they play and kids who worship athletes are stupid anyway. I can see if you like their story or you have a favorite player but worshiping them and living your life like them is a very ignorant thing to do.

                  An athlete said something stupid to the press? Holy moly. Who would have expected that?

                    I'd rather not see him interviewed at all. You have to think that the only reason the media talks to that asshat is because it's sensational and will give them (the media people) more face time.

                        Well the Olympics are played during the season so guys aren't going to leave their teams in the middle of a pennant race in July to play in the Olympics. Its just the timing that doesnt happen in other sports.

                          Agreed.

                          I wouldn't want him to lie as Jmood suggested I would want to... but he could've said the same thing without making himself look like a greedy person by saying it differently.
