That's laughable (as justification for molestation) but say it's true, then his parents should be tried for child abuse and neglect.
I think I read a few weeks ago that his mom is (or was) a social worker, she must be exceptional at that job.

I just want to know which jobs are ok with you? Would any job that makes good money be off limits? Should there be a rider on his sentence that says he cant make over minimum wage?
He shouldn't be in ballparks around children. I know you have a sick fascination with defending this guy, so I don't expect you to get it.
ETA The amount of money has literally nothing to do with it.

I'd ignore the actual things I say too.
Nice edit. I answered your question.

Kansas City-based Dennis Dodd is gonna be apoplectic about this.

But what career should he be allowed to pursue then?
It's not a question of being "allowed." He's going to have a harder time in any field where he's in the public eye.
This little girl will come of age soon, and may start talking around the time he reaches the majors. It could be a huge shite storm, particularly if she is able to pursue some sort of damages.

Is this guy just supposed to live on welfare his whole life now?
I'm fairly certain there are options between MLB pitcher and welfare queen.
So it's ok for him to work in a cubicle farm, just not pro sports?

if the cubicle farm isn’t next to a pediatricians office.
Posted on 6/25/18 at 4:53 pm to RogerTheShrubber
I'm not sure why this is so complicated for some people. Would you hire him?

I’m not sure what’s so hard for you to grasp slack
People are going further than saying they wouldn’t hire him
They are saying he shouldn’t even have the opportunity period
Which is fine to have that opinion, I am trying to ask those what they think the law should be

It’s a Catch 22. It could even draw a political boundary at some point. If we just relegate all of these people to prisons, it’s our tax dollars paying for it.
If they are free but not allowed to work AT ALL, tax payers foot the bill for welfare and whatnot.
Maybe we allow them jobs, but it’s so low-paying, taxpayers end up supporting any future family in that case as well.
So...what does he do? Plenty of POS human beings seem to enjoy celebrity status. Michael Jackson didn’t come off as squeaky clean. In today’s music world, there are people with criminal records left and right. I just finished reading a book about Allen Iverson. If half the shite in there is true, he’s still a terrible guy.
...so I’m not sure where to draw the line here.

As a baseball GM, absolutely.

Denies it, says guilty plea was bad legal advice
There are a shitload of sex criminals who play pro sports. I'm not convinced he is one.

Idk I guess I think stopping your support for KC is different than saying he shouldn't be allowed to be signed. I suppose we're having different conversations.

Fwiw Roger, he is only denying it this year. Last year he said he paid for his errors and was a new person.
Posted on 6/25/18 at 6:15 pm to slackster
I’m wondering - this would of course be if he is innocent - if he thought last year those statements would allow this all to blow over. Then when the backlash hits, he decided to go all in on innocence.

Kansas City Royals pursuing Luke Heimlich
I'm not too privy to how Major League contracts work as relates to rookies and draft picks but I feel for Heimlich if he doesn't make solid bank upon signing with the Royals or another team considering how he's dominated the college pitching game last 2 seasons, a clerical error on the part of the Oregon state police is basically the reason why the sports-consuming public know about this and it logically affects PR and marketing relative to MLB teams. IDK too much about the case and its concurrent legal process as relates to sealing these cases and extinguishing his sex offender status but for all intents and purposes I believe the case was sealed and all, real shitty for such a baller.
