I am profoundly concerned about the nature of those comments as well as by certain other aspects of his behavior. Braves president Stan Kasten said at a news conference that he thought punishment was warranted, but said the commissioner's office will decide, not the team. To be honest, I think it's kind of silly. I don't think baseball should punish him at all. It sounds kind of corny, but this is a country where you're entitled to have your opinion.
Big corporations feel like they have to take a stand.
I don't think Rocker's crazy. I think he has some opinions that not everyone would agree with. But he should be allowed to express them, just as anyone should. But we at least need to give the man an opportunity to demonstrate his heartfelt remorse and correct the problem. He said if the comments had been published during the season, Rocker likely would have been suspended indefinitely.
