Enjoying the Ride posted:Actions have consequences. He did something reprehensible, and now he's learning what the price is for his behavior. Many wondered what the tolerance of the MLB would be for those actions, and now we know (for professional baseball in China, apparently a criminal record of any kind is enough). He received a (presumably well-subsidized) degree in speech communication from OSU, an opportunity denied to many that he's fortunate to have had. He can now put his education to productive use in the world by pursuing any number of different career opportunities. They just won't include professional baseball. This is not a tragedy; this is a life lesson.
That's funny. Why is it he can have a career in speech communication but not in baseball? That is an arbitrary position, and borders on vigilanteism. This kid paid society's prescribed penalty. Let him alone. Besides, he didn't do what he pled to when some tough guy DA was threatening with horrible things if he didn't. Read the kid's back story.
