I completely disagree. There is a polite way to say what's on your mind with out trying to be PC. PC is something that has come about because everyone is just to uptight not wanting to say anything offensive that PC itself has almost become offensive. And to say that because PC doesn't sound genuine to someone they were not raised around good upbringings is just dumb. A-Rod could have easily said. "Thanks for the invite but I'm going to respectfully decline."
He didn't have to make it sound like an epic struggle to choose loyalty toward a country. And if I'm not mistaken the WBC is going to be held when spring training would normally be, so you can say he's not participating because he wants to be home with his family. While the world's best will be competing A-Rod will be taking grounders and BP in Florida.
