Domingo German’s case is not fully resolved administratively, but he will not pitch in an MLB game again this year, regular season or postseason.

Here is the link. German is done for the year. Its going to be a lot harder for the Yankees to win a ring without him. But, unfortunately, they have won all year without contributions from some pretty major players:

This is a big blow to the Yankees. It is messed up that so many players do this? Does this happen more today than it did 20 or 30 years ago or does it just seem that way?

With Social Networks and internet now is easy to expose any type of behavior (good or bad) than before.

also, it was ok to beat your wife and kids back in the day. nobody gave a s***.

I don't know if it was OK, but it was partially accepted by society.

lol. yes, that is what i meant! accepted/ignored.

[jacksonianmarch]

And to be honest, I don’t even think they punish people for the right reasons. Professional sports were dragged into morality clauses and suspensions for off field conduct due to the protestation of the female demographic. For year, nobody gave a s*** about the ladies and their market presence. Now that half of our population isn’t invisible, their POVs count. For years bad guys have been allowed to work by tacitly allowing their malfeasance. I’m a Yankee fan and while I believe German should be allowed to pitch again and in the pinstripes, I wholeheartedly support his suspension for the rest of the season.

This is probably part of it.

I wasn't asking about society. I was asking about professional athletes, specifically baseball. It certainly seems more prevalent with baseball players today. I understand that media is more pervasive, but Bosoxmal and some others may remember that the Boston media was always tough on Boston athletes. Ted Williams was criticized for many things in his personal life. There was no way that the Boston media would have let him or any Red Sox player slide for a Domestic Violence arrest.
