He's a villain for signing a big contract? Who wouldn't have signed that contract if they were in his position?

Not necessarily a villain, just obnoxious (see ALCS slap and bush league yell vs. Blue Jays)

 

Oh, and he plays on the Yankees.

I have no issue with the yell, as playing sports for many years, I have yelled to distract in baseball, basketball, soccer, etc. The slap is pretty cheap and un-defendable however.

Are people still bitching about the slap? I think it's time to let it go.

 

I think we'd be hypocrites not to as long as Rob Fick's name is still an unmentionable. Although, A-Rod has done slightly more in the baseball department since his slap.

Far less obnoxious than all the people who whine about him.

Yes, absolutely. All competitive sports should be played in complete silence, with neither side trying to do anything that would upset the delicate balance of competition.

So much for attack the post not the poster. I guess you haven't been to too many sporting events or played in very many. I don't need to go much further on this since everyone else has already spoken up, but, apart from cheating or breaking rules, you do any and everything you can as an athlete to gain an advantage over an opponent--whether it be verbal or physical.

I don't see Arod as a villian. He's just a very good baseball player.

 

TRUE.

 

People hate Duke, Florida State, the Yankees, etc. all because they were good. ARod is almost Tiger Woods good, therefore people hate him.

 

I still am confused by the people who are angry at him over his contract.

People hate FSU for the criminals littering their football roster.
