John Rocker defends Ozzie Guillen, calls sensitivity training a “farce”
The Dirt:
When Rocker was ordered to attend similar training after the former Braves reliever made offensive remarks in a Sports Illustrated story published in 1999, he left shortly after showing up, he told the Chicago Tribune.
“The guy told me when I got there I had to show up to make it look good for people, so after about 15 minutes I left and walked right out of the room and it satisfied the powers that be,” Rocker told the newspaper.
The Spin: This has to send Bud Selig into a tizzy - and if not it should. Not only has loudmouth John Rocker come back, but he has essentially validated Guillen’s ability to shrug this “punishment” off, making Selig look about as important and in control as a babysitter who has been tied to the chair while the kids run amok.
