No Bonds in video games?

Re: No Bonds in video games?

See, I understand what you're saying and all, and I'm not trying to defend Bonds nor am I trying to hate on people with disabilities, but really... I don't see why they deserve to get more than us if they did. Bonds, although seemingly mean to refuse to give him an autograph, really sees everybody as the same person, whether it's a little kid or a 37 year old adult, he sees them all the same, and when it comes to an autograph, it really just doesn't cut it. Because when he gives one person an autograph, then it seems unfair for everyone else not to get an autograph. Since everybody's equal, if he gives one to one person, the same equal person deserves the same, and he doesn't have time for that.

Here's the story.

</font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr />
Bonds informed the union that he would not be signing the organization's group licensing agreement next year and would instead pursue licensing opportunities on his own.

Players usually sign the group licensing agreement, which allows companies that obtain MLBPA licenses the right to use players' names and likenesses on their products. In exchange for their rights, the players get a percentage of the sale of the products such as trading cards and video games.


The signing of the agreement is usually a formality. In fact, Bonds will become the first union member in the 30-year history of the licensing program not to sign it, said Judy Heeter, director of business affairs and licensing for the MLBPA.


Eric Levin, president of Pro Access Inc., which does the marketing for Bonds, declined comment.


Bonds' decision will have immediate repercussions for baseball fans, who will no longer be able to purchase official Giants jerseys with the slugger's name on the back. Bonds can sell his licensing rights individually, but he will not be able to appear in MLBPA licensed products, including trading cards and video games.

Re: No Bonds in video games?

I"m getting pissed off at the people who get made at Bonds.

First off, when he said he didn't want to be in the Home Run Derby because his passed that age, the media went ahead and made him look like he was too good to be in the derby. Did Michael Jordan always go to the Slam Dunk contest? I don't think so.

Secondly, when he said something about Albert Pujols, the media made that comment and used it to make it look like Bonds hate Pujols, after that Bonds wanted nothing to do with the media so it isn't his fault.

And now with the video games thing, get out of here. So is Arrington an asshat? Is MJ an asshat? I don't think so. Don't be blinded by what you're told.

That is flawed..Jordan didn't enter the dunk contest because he was no longer the best dunker in the league..Bonds still is the best home run hitter in the game..

Re: No Bonds in video games?

Remove the steroids or whatever he's taking that made him the best home run hitter and he'll be one of those average 35-40 home run hitters.

He'll be retired in a couple of seasons anyway, and as long as we can edit players, who cares.
