It is a little unspoken racism based on all arms-and-athlete problem for some time if you were to ask me.
Let's look at notable cases: first, the NBA star Jayson Williams, and shot a limo driver in 2002. Plaxico Burress Dan, who was with a bumpin 'club when a gun went off in his waistband and sent wide receiver in the hospital. We recently had the case of Gilbert Arenas in Washington, who reportedly guns in theDressing in a scene that is reminiscent of the Wild West.
What do all these athletes have in common? They are African-Americans. That made it easy for a number of writers and much of white America in secret to whisper to each other what a gang of criminals had this sport. And basketball and football, with many black players, so it was easy it seemed to just chalk it all pimped-out hip-hop culture of the sport and its stars.
But hold the phone. AsIt turns out, are not only black athletes or athletes who need their guns to understand that er, not a place for them and the places they are not waar is prohibited.
After the danger and the bad publicity generated by Arenas, Major Baseball League, officially made, something that seems to move like a common sense: no weapons in the clubhouse.
We have seen managers throwing phones across the room, the players and managers and other players to confront, after losses and wins. So, you think thatwould be quite obvious that you do not want weapons in a place that sometimes houses such hostility. And let not "get Roids Rage.
But not all of MLB players agree. And, surprise, some of them do. We usually call them rednecks, but if he talks like a duck and waddles like a duck.
Ryan Franklin of the St. Louis Cardinals was one of the first player to openly question the policy. In February he told the St. Louis Post Dispatch, "If you grew up in Norway, with theFree and the things I was taught as a young child to respect firearms. First, you do not get stupid go. Treat every weapon as it is loaded. This is what I taught my son and daughters.
There are a few guys who screwed it all. Were it not for the NFL a few years ago, man brings a gun in a nightclub ... You have me very intelligent. "
Maybe the quote was taken out of context, maybe he only meant that guns are dangerous and hell, maybe hes just notVery hard.
When Franklin felt a bit lonely in his armed views, he was a business last week when Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott stacked. Scott, that HES admitted to the clubhouse packing heat rolling years, said the Baltimore Sun "last week:" I do not think all others should pay for the mistakes of a few. There is a good reason for the rule, I can not. The denial reason is that trust can not be 25 boys in a locker room to have the same meaningRespect and training, as I did with a gun. I understand that. I've carried a gun for 10 years. I've done in the dressing room, and nobody really knows about. I know how to treat me and I'll stow if nobody knows. "
Yes, it's a shame more people do not understand gun safety as well as you do, Luke, because I'm sure there would be no problems.
Just a fleeting with guns, testosterone-driven environment is not safe, andputs the player in Harms Way. Not to mention the fact that no matter how much you practice gun safety, guns are still involved in serious accidents.
I write not the rights to possess and carry arms. The Constitution is pretty clear, but it is also very clear that the weapons could a tragedy, no matter what color your lead.
