So some super genius at the Providence Journal decided that Manny didn’t back out on meeting the president, he backed out on going to Walter Reed.
I love it. Nothing to bitch about in regard to Manny, so this idiot rips him apart, totally overlooking the obvious fact that Manny was probably taking a political stand, how ever small, by NOT visiting the man who put most of those patients in that hospital. Interesting how he misses that point. It isn’t about not wanting to meet th asshole in the White House. It’s Manny being a jerk and not wanting to meet injured soldiers.
Just another example of the Boston (New England) sports media head hunting for Manny, regardless of there being no issues to harp on.
Theo Epstein didn’t make the trip. Devern Hansack didn’t make the trip. Julian Tavarez didn’t make the trip. Where are the articles full of righteous indignation about them?
You won’t find them. Because it’s more fun for them to bash Manny for just about anything. Normally, I wouldn’t link to such a piece of shit, but I hope they see this entry. I hope he knows that at least one Red Sox fan thinks Jim Donaldson is a vindictive asshole who had nothing better to write about than how Manny ‘dissed’ injured soldiers.
He didn’t. He dissed the president. And good for him for making a stand.
