He announced he wasn't resigning with the Yankees during a World Series game, then states now he wants to play for the Red Sox. What a pig, he has no respect. That coupled with events in his private life tell me he is one player to stay the hell away from. He disgusts me.

The point is that ARod wants to play for a team he knows Yankee fans DESPISE. This man has no respect! He is low-class trash! He hates his fans! How can anyone like him?
I hope no one signs this cancer. He is one of those players who is talented, but sits on his butt because he will get paid anyway. Pro sports are going down because of this guy.

U know what I completely agree wit u. I am so happy that he finally left the Yanks. Since he sort of wanted 2 replace Jeter and that really can't happen. He seems like a very arrogant person. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOD RIDDANCE. but watch him have problems wit Manny

Arod isnt trashy. Hes the best player in baseball like it or not ) I dont) but he is being very foolish and greedy. Releasing the opt out when he did was very low form, and saying he wouldnt even talk to the Yankees unless the floor was 350 mil was ridicuous. I think that Scott Boras has a lot to do with offering Arod advice and bad advice to boot. What he has done is to taint his public image with an attitude of greed, self promotion and what he wants more than what a team wants. He brings a media frenzy whereever he goes, the home fans are not really fond of him, and ticket prices are going up to help pay for him. I think its a shame that someone with his talent lends it to all the things that are bad...greed, lack of loyalty, self asorption, and an arrogance of personality that drives a teams fan to dispise rather than to embrace him

His agent told the Yankees and the Yankees announced it. Rodriguez was not part of that. Why should he care that the fans of Yankees and Red Sox don't like each other? In what way is he a pig?
Your question is a rant, a baffling one at that, and indicates that you might be the person who needs to worry about class more than Rodriguez.

America was built on capitalism. Enlightened self-interest. Every man acting to achieve what is best for him.
Then why is everybody complaining?
If you don't want your team to sign A-Rod, let that be known by writing letters and email to your team's GM. Tell them you don't mind losing but want tthe game to be played as a game. Assure them that even if your team misses the playoffs because A-Rod isn't there, you'll still buy ticket, still show up for games to cheer and root for your team.
If the owners are assured of that nobody will give 350 mil to A-Rod.

Let me put it simply (putting the horrible timing of the announcement aside). If you liked your job, and could go somewhere else and do the exact same job for a crapload more money, wouldnt you do it>>? I know I would.
Yes, he plays a kids game. Yes, he gets paid a crapload of money for doing that. But again, this is his JOB, sothere is no reason not to approach it from a business standpoint, be it greedy or not.

I am not a great fan of his because of his occasional dirty play ONLY, but JHC, it is his career and his right to make the most of it and not play where he doesn't want to. To simply call him trashy based on the media and gossip is what's "trashy".

I'm sure he wants to play for the Red Sox. Who the heck else can afford him?

What he did is classless, but I would not judge the guy's character like this. I don't personally know him, and neither do you.
