Jeanne Zelasko deserves credit for standing up for what’s right.
During the pregame show on Fox-TV’s baseball Game of the Week, the topic of comments Curt Schilling from the Red Sox made recently about Barry Bonds arose.
Kevin Kennedy, being an ex-player, stood up for Bonds and said Schilling was way out of line for his comments (who cares if Schilling told the truth originally, before retracting his statement?)
Zelasko responded it’s a fact that Bonds took steroids … and let’s move on to another conversation.
Good for her!
It’s about time we hear more from “people who never played the game” such as Zelasko and Ken Rosenthal on Fox baseball, or football analysts such as Chris Mortensen (ESPN) and Adam Schechter (NFL Network.)
For most of us, it’s getting old hearing athletes … or ex-athletes … defend the poor behavior of other athletes.
What we need are more people like Zelasko, who will stand up to the excuse-making athletes covering for the shame of others.
