July 27, 200422 yr Delgado is starting to take some heat for not standing for God Bless America, but did you guys see him smack the ball out of that dude's glove yesterday? Anyone think he'll get punished?
July 27, 200422 yr Author why would he get punished? anyway that dude was tossed from the game 478189[/snapback] I dunno, it seemed like he kind of hit the guy pretty hard. It's one thing to take out your frustation on a wall or a seat, but the guy's hand seemed a little violent too me.
July 27, 200422 yr Anyone got a link to an article or video of this? I didn't see it on BBTN last night, mabye I just wasn't paying attention.
July 27, 200422 yr As a Puerto Rican, and I know there's other fellow PR's out there who might differ...I will say that I'm disgusted by Carlos Delgado. He's a great player and all, but as a person, he ain't worth s*** to me! He refuses to participate in the singing of "God Bless America" b/c he's against the war on Irak. I can handle the fact that he's against the war (even though I'm not), but as an American citizen, as a guy who's made MILLIONS in the USA, refusing to partake in the singing of a patriotic, non political song only shows how much s*** this guy has on his head, how ignorant he is, and how strongly he's been manipulated by socialist elements from Puerto Rico. CArlos: you're ignorant, irak and god bless america have no relation whatsoever...shut the f*** up and play baseball...I'll definitely boo you next time I see you! :thumbdown
July 27, 200422 yr God Bless America is only being played because of the war and events leading up to the war.
July 27, 200422 yr and im sure you will hurt his feelings when you boo him ... who cares its his choice and if its because he's against the war than im all for it delgado is far from a bad guy or ignorant or whatever you wanna call him
July 27, 200422 yr This conversation has gone on too many times on this board. He wasn't talking about GBA, he was talking about him slapping the glove.
July 27, 200422 yr and im sure you will hurt his feelings when you boo him ... who cares its his choice and if its because he's against the war than im all for it delgado is far from a bad guy or ignorant or whatever you wanna call him 478507[/snapback] not singing god bless america b/c you're against the war IS being ignorant...could you point to me at least ONE line in which Iraq/war, etc. is mentioned??? thanks, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! :killthemall
July 27, 200422 yr God Bless America is only being played because of the war and events leading up to the war. 478501[/snapback] do you have any sense of history??? when did the war on Irak start? when did we start singing God Bless America at ballparks? ahhhh...OOPS! I don't give a s*** if there's a war going on, we as Americans will proudly display our patriotism, regardless of the circumstances, because we are proud to be born in the USA! If Delgado doesn't feel American, he at least should show some respect, not refuse to go out and show his respect to the American people. He has the right to do whatever he wants to do, but he doesn't have the right to disrespect Americans, even more when those filling the stands are mainly Americans.
July 27, 200422 yr when did we start spelling iraq with a k? we started singing god bless america during the 7th inning stretch after 9/11 the precursor to this silly and stupid affair we have going on in Iraq. if not for 9/11....this stupid and silly war would of been a hell of a lot harder for Bush to justify. they are related.

July 27, 200422 yr the national anthem has always been played before a sporting event in modern history. god bless america hasnt. two differnet cases entirely.
July 27, 200422 yr DAS is right about GBA and how it came about so that makes it related to the war in everyway ... and about this "could you point to me at least ONE line in which Iraq/war, etc. is mentioned???" im not gonna even say anything about that and keep this PG
July 27, 200422 yr DAS is right about GBA and how it came about so that makes it related to the war in everyway ... and about this "could you point to me at least ONE line in which Iraq/war, etc. is mentioned???" im not gonna even say anything about that and keep this PG 478535[/snapback] I agree with you...if I were to write here what I think about a guy who quotes Che Guevara on his posts, I'd probably be banned from the site.... :censored
July 27, 200422 yr carlos is the man for slapping that f***er's hand its not like he punched him in the face
July 27, 200422 yr BRING ON THE HATE FOR CHE CHE = THE MAN and you really dont want me to begin talking about a guy who has Bush on his signature hahaha sorry dood, but you brought this yourself ahahhahaa bush hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!
July 27, 200422 yr BRING ON THE HATE FOR CHE CHE = THE MAN and you really dont want me to begin talking about a guy who has Bush on his signature hahaha sorry dood, but you brought this yourself ahahhahaa bush hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!! 478544[/snapback] I must admit that at least...you're a funny guy...you have me laughing right now... what do you know about el Che?? do you know about what happened in Las Cabanas? probably not, right?? you just know what those liberal potheads tell you, about the revolutionary idol who devoted his life to those in need...yay!
July 27, 200422 yr Just saw the play on PTI. He hit the guy's glove with his own glove. Harmless. Either way the fan deserved it.
July 27, 200422 yr at least he didnt lie to his country about going to war for the sole purpose of filling up his and his friends wallets even more I guess $$$ is more important than people im gonna go hang out with liberal potheads now
July 27, 200422 yr at least he didnt lie to his country about going to war for the sole purpose of filling up his and his friends wallets even more I guess $$$ is more important than people im gonna go hang out with liberal potheads now 478553[/snapback] CHE GUEVARA ====== MURDERER :guillotine the victims of his death squadrons will never forget!
July 28, 200422 yr The fan deserved it. He interfered with the game. I dont have a problem about what he did. But not particapating in God Bless America is a totally different story. At least he could show some respect.
