Too many players aren't allowed to travel internationally.

Reply to comment by ProfessorSucc in Dodgers release Bauer, set to pay him over $21M. by PrincessBananas85
Bauer was a very polarizing player before all of this. Many people didn’t like him so something like this is an easy thing to latch onto and just assume he’s guilty. The dude is an ass to put it lightly. Easy to root against as ass.
MLB definitely didn’t like him for how often he publicly lambasted Manfred, so it isn’t surprising he didnt get any mercy initially (until now, obviously, when they reduced the suspension)
That being said, i think people still have an incorrect perception of what Ozuna did due to how it was initially reported.

Probably because his comment wasn’t directed to the actual question he responded to.
He asserted that OP was thinking it was a conspiracy that Bauer was suspended at all. No, he said he doesn’t understand why the public (and MLB) is harsher against Bauer than actual proven players who committed crimes.

“Beating his wife’s ass” is a gross over-exaggeration, bordering on lying or just complete lack of information on the actual case.
He still guilty of DV but there is no reason to make-up stuff to make it seem worse than it was. That just makes some ppl question the entire thing. The initial police report and charges were just incorrect which is why some charges were dropped and others reduced when the body can footage was released.
Not to mention, “welcomed back with open arms”? Yeah, he definitely wasn’t lol.

This does not only apply to oppressive regimes... All our life is conditioned by unmovable forces. What you call freedom is just an illusion of a choice, this feeling than in this liberal world you're a master of your own destiny, but it's a lie
Check out my boy spinoza he ll explain it better

Doing the whole western puppets spiel isn't very sympathetic when the facts are that while western puppet, women had rights, and once they're not a western puppet, women did not have rights.
If that's the difference between being a western puppet or not I'd happily support all of the global south becoming western puppets

He wasn’t questioning why Bauer was suspended. He’s wondering why ppl are so much more against Bauer when the evidence is shaky whereas other players who have literally been caught on video and/or plead guilty the fans aren’t nearly as harsh against. Not to mention Bauer also served a longer suspension than those other players.

I have no idea of their quality but they joined 10 months ago and presumably have to start at the bottom of the football pyramid and win promotion. They can't just get inserted into a higher league.

Yeah , it’s almost as if terrorists from/funded by Pakistan blew up a military convoy and Pakistan refused to take action

BCCI xenophobia is not based on religion but nationality. They allowed Azhar Mahmoud on UK passport.
BCCI monopoly on Bharti players need to go too.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. He's in the entertainment industry. All of the complaining about people getting "cancelled" is bullshit. I don't want to think about this guy's abusive sex life or general assholishness while I'm chilling out and watching a game. Definitely not going to buy a ticket to see this chode in person. Definitely glad the Mets "missed out" on him a couple of years ago before the news broke.

But how does this solve women's rights in afg ? And weren't the taliban just ignoring the afg cricket team ? I think they never recognized their cricket team.

He’s a starting pitcher for a major franchise. That’s just too much attention and sends the wrong message. Apparently they also gave him a chance in a meeting to see if he was showing any remorse and he did not. Just a bad situation all around.
