The media hates ARod because he doesn't feed them by acting out of character...

Every press conference, every batting practice, no matter how much scandal is swirling around him - ARod continues to smile, continues to answer questions respectfully, continues to not get emotional.

The Media hates that, cause he bucks their agenda-driven stereotype of the way they feel a man of his background should react.

I love how he always addresses the writers in post-game interviews with, "Well, Joe...." or "It's just the way I was feeling, Ken."

He's handled himself with class in front of the media 100 percent of the time. Behind the scenes, it appears he's a snake, so they keep tearing away at his public persona to make him unravel ... and he's yet to unravel. Love or hate the guy, you gotta respect his commitment to not breaking.

I love A-Rod but they hate him because he's full of shyt. I know he still regrets that comment he said about Jeter years ago, that was the beginning of the end.....don't fukk with Jeets!

I agree, and I'm not a fan of ARod, but at the same time I'm not a fan of someone being attacked by a mob, whether physically out on the street or in print.

What in the fukk?

I swear ya'll look for any reason to hate on the media :heh:

I'd like to know what ARod has done to deserve this kind of caping?

Also, why do you think the media hates ARod? Outside of borderline-tabloid NY media outlets, where is this hate? :huh:

:dahell: who hasn't shyt on A-Rod every chance they get? ESPN, regional columnists and radio hosts, baseball pundits high-and-low, practically any person or entity who has an influential voice in the sports world.

With many other athletes, the 212-game suspension would be met with "witch hunt" and "deflecting blame" headlines, but in A-Rod's case, damn near everybody is saying "he deserves it" without giving a fukk about Selig overstepping his boundaries with a ridiculously over-the-top penalty.

Do you watch EPSN, FoxSports,etc? At all????

New York is arguably the Media capital in the world. If you've been reading the vitriol in the NY papers every day, you'd think he sexually assaulted a woman like Big Ben, or obstructed a Murder investigation like Ray Lewis, or crashed his car into a telephone pole like Jason Kidd, or beat his wife like Jason Kidd, or mad hateful racist or homophobic remarks like many other athletes.

The muthafuka took steroids and lied about it, and because MLB and the Media are in bed together they want to make ARod the pillar of all that is evil in sports, when the fact of the matter is THE MEDIA AND MLB allowed steroids in baseball and looked the other way. When 50 year old records were - not just being broken BUT - DEMOLISHED by - not ONE PLAYER but - SEVERAL players, none of these college educated academics/journalist displayed any cognitive abilities whatsoever, in questioning this anomaly of these records being shattered.

shyt I was a fukkin teenager and I knew something funny was up when McGwire and Sosa were doing their thing...you mean to tell me the Machine of the Media had no clue?

I'd smack my parents in the face if i was that naive.

MLB and the media are making A Rod look like a sympathetic figure. You'd think A Rod has raped and tortured a white woman to death. Meanwhile, Ryan Braun is on vacation and relatively unscathed compared to A Rod.

please don't play us for idiots with this nonsense.

Nah, I really don't see it :yeshrug:

ARod seems to do everything in his power to keep his name in the headlines and reputation in the gutter.
