There were quite a few of you who had an answer as to how Atlantans could so quickly welcome back Rocker. The heart of the matter is that Americans pull for the underdog. There were others, though, who saw something much more sinister in the cheers for Rocker last week at Atlanta's Turner Field. The good ole boys of Atlanta think the same ignorant, backwards, Old South thoughts that Rocker does. Unfortunately there are too many ignorant, uneducated, homophobic bigots living here.
People are euphoric that someone so popular shares their beliefs.
In fact, we feel John was 99 percent right about the comments he made in that article. I heard from Braves fans, many who had no problem rooting for Rocker, and a few who were torn. This Rocker issue really makes a person step back and take a moment. Jamie Jordan says. It is a team effort and in this case a couple bad apples will not ruin my opinion of this basket.
