It's an interesting contrast between sports.
Eli Manning, for example, refused to play for San Diego and everyone lost their mind. How dare he! Screw him! Spoiled! Entitled!
But it's a common thing for someone to not sign with the team that drafted them in baseball and the national media barely bats an eye.
Now, some of the more vocal Tigers fans on social media?
That's a different story.
I have had injury wished upon me. Death threats. One even said my mother should have aborted me.
And these are the ones I can print here.
Some of them are so vulgar in their distaste for me that their abuse of the English language would probably have my content removed from this lovely family site.
So we won't talk about those.
Oh, and then there was one Tigers fan who wished a fate worse than death on me. His words. "A fate worse than death. I hope you get drafted by Cleveland! And I don't mean the Indians."
Sorry to disappoint you.
I got drafted by New York.
And I don't mean the Yankees.
"Enjoy playing for the New York Mess you @#$%%#*&!"
I hear Detroit fans are far worse towards hockey players they don't like.
