.... just got the app notification. I wonder where this will go?

Why is he wrapped up in these scandals over the past 12 years?

"Yada, yada... A person familiar with the issue said that a complaint against Alomar was filed with the Blue Jays months ago, alleging he acted inappropriately in an incident that occurred several years earlier...yada, yada"


'acted inappropriately' can mean so many different things. I'd like to know what he allegedly said or did, before commenting further.

Alomar always came across as a scumbag who played the good guy role imo. I never got over the spitting thing. They don't realize they are old and ugly now. Doug Gilmour is the same.

Wasn't he accused of something years ago too? I could be wrong but I think a Toronto woman accuesed him of sexual assault in the years after he was traded.

I totally agree with you.

Will they take his name down from the Level of Excellence?

The Toronto Blue Jays have removed his name from the Level of Excellence & removed his banner at Rogers Centre.

Most athletes are scumbags. There was a recently retired tight end who admitted it. He and his brother were tight ends but I forget his name. He is probably a douche too but he said most guys he played with were complete trash people.

That is sad to hear. I used to have his picture and joe carter back to back champs all over my bedroom walls as a kid. Sad to read this.

Robby swings both ways. The ump called him a "fucking faggot".

 

[The Oracle]

I'm going to wait till I read all the evidence against him before I pass judgement.

Will say that there were rumours swirling around him for years when he was with the Jays.

Athletes are in an undeniable privileged situation with sexual opportunity. Some misuse it terribly.

Let's see how this plays out for Robbie. For my money next to Joe Morgan the best second bagger I've had the fortune to see play.

If your'e going to take down Robby from the Circle of Excellence, you'll have to take down everyone else.

Athletes are catered to by society, there's is no lofty standard that they abide to.

he should have just said "she experienced it differently" worked for some....

Guilty until proven innocent.
Seems all you have to do is be accused of something and you are guilty without a trial.
Have criminal charges been filed?
