Derek Jeter honors Muhammad Ali for living the life he never would

[Remote]

You ain't a real Yankees fan then

Sorry to break it to you wodie

You and that bitter ass columnist can kick rocks

I was riding with Melido Perez, Matt Nokes and Pat Kelly during the shytty ass Yankee years before all you Jeter worshippers showed up like he's the messiah.

Go on, breh

The fukk is Jeter singled out for when basically 99% of athletes are like this today . Lebron's basically the only one who tries to keep it semi-conscious. And this dude name drops Chris Paul who wouldnt even sit out a game during the Sterling fiasco

I see nothing wrong with the article. he basically called today's athlete. That goes for MJ too. Where have u seen these dudes take a stand.? MJ will take a stand when it comes to a store using his brand but social issues. nah.. So dont say he allowed you to speak your mind when you dont. I am a mets fan respect Jeter. Kept himself clean and out of an controversy. But you never knew what dude really thought about anything.. Never knew where he stood on anything.The author may not be talking about just Jeter but todays athlete. Some of you guys are upset because he is your Yankee idol. Fine just say thats why you are upset

This was addressed like a good 12 times in the thread.

You clowns have never done anything even rometely positive and yet you want athletes to speak up. Sit behind your keyboards and stfu

Compare what Jordan said about Ali to what Jeter said and get back to me

MJ kept it all about Ali's feats in the ring and his personal experience watching him as a kid.

jeter is John Cena. Goat, company man, bland.

Yet to see an article on MJ for being the GOAT c00n and never taking a stand on anything. Not to mention Jordan has infinitely more influence and popularity than Jeter.

Crazy how America has literally made Jordan untouchable. Even if a nikka did make a hit piece on him brainwashed zombies would be in the comments going "6 rings lolol he can do what he want," like that has anything to do with political stances.

Typical corporate swagless bland athlete.
Understand he didnt want to scare away sponsors/endorsement money but he lacked charisma, people couldn't relate to him. He seemed distant and standoffish.

actually Bernie Williams, paul o'Neill, and tino Martinez were both more clutch than him. Remember 1999 alcs game 1? 1996 Alds? 1996 Alcs mvp? Bern baby bern...Bernie williams.

Jeter was called captain clutch tho. He was remarkably consistent but i didn't recall being him hitting the big time hits ala david Ortiz.

mookie Wilson, Joe namath, Reggie jackson, darryl strawberry, jackie robinson(brooklyn dodgers), babe ruth, joe dimaggio, dwight gooden, mike piazza, patrick ewing, JOHN STARKS, and gary carter will always be remembered unlike jeter. Because of their charisma and personalities.

Is this a real post? Breh said JOHN STARKS will be be remembered more than Derek Jeter.

I think you missed the point

This "point" could be said about literally any black athlete today

 

[concise]

Journalists have had it out for him ever since he started Player's Tribune. He played them for two decades and they're sour his next move after that was to cut them out of the picture entirely.

And the people who did the protecting, the NY writers, felt personally offended that the first thing he did after retirement was create a platform that froze them out. Seriously, the week he announced the Player's Tribune there was basically a giant fukk Jeter piece in the Daily News, and the sentiment has been like that ever since.

There's a reason why these writers never went at him before, but do so now. Do you think if Jeter's piece about Ali was instead given to a Daily Post writer instead of onto his own website which goal is the elimination of sportswriters, this article would still be written and published?

Use your brain.

These writers are mad they treated Jeter with white privilege his whole career and he threw them in the bushes as soon as he was done.

Two birds, one stone.
fukk the writers.
fukk Jeter.

The whole premise of Jeter being forgotten is so absurd for so many reasons but the bolded names really had me

Yeah, I stopped reading after John Starks.
