On Monday of this week a man came up to me as I waited to buy a ticket at a local movie theater and started berating me for my stand on Rocker. His vocabulary was full of racial expletives. He's a sad, sick man. I guess I'm naive. I didn't think there was so much bigotry out there.
Rocker represents that bigotry.
I hope so or we are in for some troubling times. He should have established a foundation to help children of all races further their education. It would have been rough on him, but by the time the season was over, he would have fostered respect among the media, among minorities and his teammates. Instead, Rocker mistook the many cheers he received in Atlanta as justification for his words. He mistook the loyalty the Braves showed him as an exoneration of his deeds.
