Tough s***. It's a personal decision on the part of the players. I don't give a f*** what the players do when they're not in uniform. Neither should you, as long as they're not infringing on anyone else's rights. Yes, it's unfortunate that they didn't attend. Oh well, they had no obligation to be there.
This is the latest example of people here taking it as a personal offense when the Red Sox don't do well, and in return decide to be bitches who pry into their personal time and attack their characters for irrelevant off-field stuff. I really am ashamed that I share a favorite baseball team with some of you clowns.
