re: SB Nation fires A’s writer over Kyler Murray tweet

Why is she mad? Did anyone REALLY think a Heisman trophy winning QB wasn't going to put his name in the draft?

I made a comment about this on another site after that emo-maniac, Scott Boras, tried to say that there was no way Murray would leave for the NFL, because he had already signed a contract with the A's. I said what a stupid comment that was, because having a contract in one sport does not prohibit you from playing another sport, unless specified otherwise in his baseball contract. Which it was not. Now, they might end up telling him that they don't want him playing two sports, but that still wouldn't keep him from playing in the NFL. He'd just have to forfeit his baseball contract, and the A's would likely get some type of compensation.

This doesn't mean he WON'T play baseball. But he should keep his options open, because hitting a baseball at the professional level is the hardest thing to do in sports. He has a high chance to fail there. As QB, he is a rare breed who has great running ability, but can actually pass. If he is used the way the Seahawks have used Russel Wilson, his size won't be an issue.
