Why didn't David Ortiz talk about PEDs while they were dragging down baseball, costing clean players $$ and jobs? Ortiz could've said, "I don't want no part of this," but didn't.
Now he uses the word "snitch" to describe a whistleblower, knowing full well the danger this brings.
David Ortiz on Mike Fiers: "I'm mad at (Fiers). After you make your money and you get your ring, you decide to talk about it? Why didn't you talk about it during the season when it was going on? Why didn't you say 'I don't want no part of this.' Now, you look like a snitch."

I wouldn't have been able to write this column without women like
@AmeliaRayno
and
@4lisaguerrero
bravely sharing their stories. Lift a glass to them and all the others this holiday season! cc

Lots of people thru the years have asked me why I left sports broadcasting. In this wonderful article about

America, 2020: When a professional athlete says the KKK ought to be deemed a terrorist organization and is told to “stick to sports, before you lose 75% of your fan base.” 😡

Ahem. This:
"I’m still talking to people and they’re still asking me why there aren’t more women in sports journalism, to which the answer is obvious: Why aren’t there more women working in sports journalism? Because you aren’t hiring women."

When I first started a career in sports journalism, I could count on two fingers the number of women in the press box. Grateful to

How interesting that Anita Sehgal, Senior VP, Marketing and Communications for
@astros
, has protected her account (
@texasroughrider
), rather than explain or take accountability for the smear campaign she oversaw that could've ended the career of a female journalist.
Astros executive Anita Sehgal oversaw the smear of reporter Stephanie Apstein. Astros GM Jeff Luhnow reviewed it before it was sent out. Sehgal and Luhnow should be sanctioned for their attempt to ruin a career — all because of a story that inconvienced their baseball team.
