John's completely lost his Rocker

 Just looks like a goon, doesn't he?

Every sports fan in America remembers John Rocker.  While playing for the Atlanta Braves back in 1999, Rocker made some wonderful comments in an interview with Sports Illustrated about immigrants, gays and every other person in this country who is not white.  Let me refresh your memory.   

Saying he could 'never' play for a New York team, Rocker said "Imagine having to take the Number 7 train to the ballpark next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of prison for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."  

Top notch John, top notch.  He wasn't done.  There was much more.  He also said 'The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?'  

Rocker has recently compared himself to Hank Aaron and Jackie Robinson.  "I've taken a lot of crap from a lot of people," Rocker told ESPN. “Probably more than anybody in the history of this sport. I know Hank and Jackie took a good deal of crap, but I guarantee it wasn't for six years. I just keep thinking: How much am I supposed to take?"  

In 1947, Jackie Robinson was the first black baseball player to play professionally.  Hank Aaron passed Babe Ruth's homerun record while getting death threats and receiving shoe boxes full of racist-filled letters of hate.  Does Rocker realize that Aaron and Robinson didn't deserve ANY of the hate brought onto them?  All they did was play the sport they love.  On the other hand, Rocker is just a complete idiot who seems to think he is God's gift and has the right to say whatever comes to his mind.   

Fast forward to May 3 of this year.  Rocker, pitching for the Long Island Ducks (a crappy minor league team), gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in one-third of an inning.  For those of you who don't know baseball, one-third of an inning means he got ONE PERSON OUT.  In other words, he sucks.  While leaving the field, Dave Macken, a fan of the opposing team said 'It's a long way from Atlanta!'  Rocker snapped back 'I'm still a millionaire and you're still a piece of ____ (fill in the blank).   

Top Eight Reasons to watch a little league game instead of watching John Rocker pitch:

1.  Some of these kids actually have talent, where as John Rocker has none.

2.  These kids won't spout off at fans. 

3.  Brats are only $2 compared to $4 at a major league game.

4.  Little leaguers don't have a pure hatred for foreigners.

5.  Little leaguers don't have a pure hatred for gays. 

6.  Little leaguers don't have a pure hatred for New Yorkers.

7.  The love of the game.

8.  I just hate John Rocker.  Isn't that enough of a reason right there?
