Do you really care what your Favorite baseball player does in the Off season and personal life?

Question

What i mean in there personal life , some time a while ago some one asked on here about how Derek Jeter[one of my favorite baseball players] was doing something i guess not right , but Personally i could care less what he does in his own time and Personal life i have my own crap to deal with , but when spring training starts and the Baseball season is going on he better be ready and fully concentraded on the game of Baseball or there will be problems

to #1 braves fan , what i mean in the offseason is that im not going to be stocking them 24-7 to know what they do and make sense i like the Yankees you know what think whatever you want to think

i mean like relationships

i guess some people take questions to serious

Answer 1

well it's nice to hear what they do to give back to the community and maybe if they are doing okay not hurt or dead or anything like that.
other than that everything else is none of my business

Answer 2

for the most part, assuming it doesnt effect his job performance, i dont think that anybody should care about what anybody does outside of work, that goes for athletes, cops, judges, politicians, even fast food employees
you want to smoke pot, or host an orgy? or whatever, it doesnt matter, what a person does in their time, its their decision, the only time that anybody else has any right to have any say in what a person does is if it has effects on others, like a guy with a drinking problem who always comes to work hung over

Answer 3

I could care less about Curtis Granderson's relationships.


EDIT:

I think that the media should leave our fav. baseball players alone, most of us don't care who Magglio is dating or something. Now, on the other hand, if they commit a crime or are having drug/alcohol/steroid problems, then we deserve to know.

And, why, you may ask, do we deserve to know?

Because we depend on these people. To go out there, strike out guys, hit home runs, make diving catches, but above all, be good role models.

Answer 4

What people like Jeter do in their time is their business. If Jeter wants to date Mariah Carey again for example (Even though that would be a stupid mistake on his part.) that's his business. Who cares who he dates? Only people who are star struck cares about stuff like that.

Answer 5

I would only care if it were illegal or very immoral and plastered all over the news, I want role models to at least follow the law, or keep a low profile if they are messing up too bad.

Answer 6

I don't see where the out-of-baseball life even during the season matters at all..

many of these guys have press agents and staffs..that their agents work for publicity..like Brittany Spears thrives off of..

people like that bother me..Curt Schilling is one of those guys..he has to run his mouth like T.O. every time there is something topical in the news..so he can flaunt his celebrity

Answer 7

Sometimes it is interesting, but I am not overly infatuated with knowing everything about them. I live near Jim Thome's hometown, so whenever I go near there I keep an eye out for him. My friend's dad saw him at a restaurant there, so I always think about going, but never do.

Answer 8

I pick my favorite players very carefully. They are upstanding citizens, pillars of the community and do a lot of charity work. Never will you see them on the Police Blotter or in the National Enquirer!

Lessons to learned by the younger fans...

Answer 9

To some extent yes, but for the most part no.
Like Alyssa Milano, she needs to stay away from Russell Martin (or any Dodger for that matter). But thats about as far as it goes for me.

Answer 10

I only care about on the field. Well it does bother me when you here guys are acting like alot of the NFL players have been but usually guys like that are not my favorite players
