It's not that he's any worse, I think he is but that's not the point. My point is I am sick of people getting break after break just because they can play ball. If Adam Jones was a factory worker or an accountant or an x-ray tech, he would not only be unemployed, but pretty much unemployable. I am sick of good morals and good character being a distant second to athletic ability. Give me a quality guy with average skills that I can depend on to give me 100% effort every day and will not be a problem over a superstar caliber athlete that can't seem to go to the drive-thru without the possibility of a drive-by and doesn't give effort unless he wants to. Yeah I might lose games, but in my book, dignity, class and respect mean a whole lot.
I ask you this, if you had to tell your young son to idolize and emulate a sports figure, would it be Adam Jones? I think not. If that's your choice of role model, go ahead and call the adoption agency because you are not fit to be a parent.
