Why is that?

 

 

Because at the end of the day no one actually cares what religion he is, or anyone else for that matter. I doubt that tomorrow morning we'll be waking up to Sportscenter and CNN headlines of "Manny Ramirez talks about and repeatedly thanks God through interview!" regardless of his skin color. The Red Sox and many other teams have plenty of religious players, players are constantly bringing up God through interviews and all that. I can remember a few Sox players being really religious and no one giving s***.

 

That comment was overly reaching and just race baiting

Now I see why Manny is such a bizarre person. Anyone who talks about god this much can't be that mentally stable

 

Didn't see your post until after I posted my opinion.

 

God forbid someone find strength is religion, especially Christianity.

Don't take that too seriously. I don't really mind he's like that at all. Good for him, as long as he only uses it to dictate his life and no one elses.

Knowing Manny, I'm surprised he didn't start talking about his love for Islam. How hilarious would that have been?

Race baiting? Oh My God. Not my intention. See Tim Tebow.....can't play football but he's a kook because of his Christianity. A Black or Hispanic person can thank God all day but they aren't chastised for it. No one should be. Black, Hispanic, Asian, White etc etc etc.

 

You made fun of him for talking about God so much. Prime example.

Agreed, I don't have as much of a problem with religion when they keep it to themselves.

Tim Tebow was a cartoon character. He was obnoxious about it.

this. Manny was obnoxious about it tonight too, but the difference is was a GOOD player who most of the time actually kept his mouth shut and kept to himself.

 

Tim Tebow was a s***** player who always had to make himself the center of attention. The religion aspect was an afterthought

Posted
The old double standard.

 

I chastise all religious fundamentalists equally. I'd have been just as annoyed had Tebow been Black/Hispanic/Canadian.

Gavin Floyd sucks so far, they need to take more advantage of this

 

Agreed! And Lackey is locked in. Needs run support that he doesn't always get. So far, so good!

I think the Braves announcer just called JBJ Blacky Bradley lol, I don't think it was intentional but still

 

Oh Atlanta. Never change.

Some folks like to categorize the entire South.

 

Scientific proof that all southerners:

 

-drink heavily

-commit domestic violence

-hate minorities
