Doji is right. We are over reacting to Beckett. He's an infuriating jackass, but he is not going anywhere. He is just emblematic of the spoiled entitled prima donas that dominate the sporting world. They pretty much all think the way he does. The environment and culture breeds this sense of entitlement. The system that produces professional athletes makes them this way. Beckett is mote arrogant and dense than most, so he will not back off his beliefs even when cornered and completely wrong. Make no mistake about it, they are all like him. He just refuses to put on the public face-- which is nothing more than a trained skill. I can respect that about the jerk. He's not a phony. There's no phony in that man. For better or worse, we are stuck with him. Hopefully, he will pitch to his potential and soon. That's the best we can hope for.
