Didnt even know Alomar was involved in this situation

 

Jays are removing him from the LOE and taking his banner down.

So our only hall of famer is disgraced and Halladay went into the hall with no team. We'll have to wait until like 2045 to have a hall of famer to celebrate if vladdy has that type of career lol.

Holy s***... wtf did Alomar actually do? The way they're treating this, he should be getting arrested no?

[Krylian]

None of this surprises me about Robbie. I heard about s*** 30 years ago when he was playing for the Jays... He used to stay up in one of the hotel rooms at the Dome and I heard multiple stories of teenage girls being brought to his room. Now...how much of that is true, I have no idea...but in light of this development I lean to believing that he was up to some unruly s***.

Lindor could have worn #12 after all. Shame.

And no doubt these girls, now middle aged women, whether in Toronto or elsewhere, have now made allegations. For MLB and the Jays to do this, a warrant is likely pending.

He used to chill at the Loose Moose, always had women flocking him, I never heard anything about teenage girls, but he was a playa! He lived in one of the suites at the dome.

Teenage could also be like 18/19.

 

Know what's really messed up, age of consent during his playing days was 14.

[Spanky99]

He was barely older than that, early twenties.

Heard that also...but doesnt mean it's true....but, good gawd it sure seems bad!

 

But lets face it...most players were doing this!..Just read Jim Boutins Foul Ball

Well, Robbie's being accused of sexual assault, I hope everyone wasn't doing this.

[Jays24]

 

I'm Team Robbie until I hear some concrete details. I've seen too much crap where people react thinking they're "woke." Not saying this is the case here but I'm going with the innocent until proven guilty avenue.

[Brownie19]

Yikes. Do we have any information on this allegation? Other than it was back in 2014.

 

I always find it interesting that organizations like MLB do their own investigation and take action before the legal system does anything (perhaps I'm assuming they are pressing charges).

[Virgil_Hiltz]

Yeah...maybe I should have been more precise....having groupies up to the rooms!

[Terminator]

Short of him being charged with a crime, removing him from the Level of Excellence and taking his banner down is over doing it. And Sexual Misconduct is an extremely broad term. That could be anything from an ill-advised joke to something criminal.

Due process for sure.

They must have a lot of concrete evidence I'd imagine to go that far, right?

Oh no... what a horrible human being. He has sex with women who throw themselves at him lol.

Thats what I assumed at first but Alomars statement doesn't make it seem that way. We'll see I guess but I would be so pissed if we reacted prematurely. There is no going back from the stance we just took.

[Dick_Pole]

Well at least Alomar is in the HOF. Can't kick him out. But, you know, let's keep Clemens, Bonds, Schilling etc. out for...reasons.

 

If this ends up being true, shame on him and he deserves what he gets, legally. If it's some false ********, I'm going to up my penny stock trading game for the sole purpose of becoming a multi-billionaire and buying out Rogers just so I can force a reversal of this decision to turn him into the Jays version of Chris Benoit.

[Dr. Dinger]

I heard years ago that he gave a chick HIV.

No the MLB has all the information, all we know it was in 2014 and she was an MLB employee. I'd assume there's a process now.

Sorry come again... why would you want to turn him into Chris Benoit if this is proven to be false? Typo?

[Virgil_Hiltz]

well...prior to him giving a chick HIV....a chick gave it to him!

 

Imagine if Wilt Chamberlain was alive today?....

Did you expect Alomar to issue a statement that the allegations are true and apologize for being a scumbag? C'mon man.

[King]

There was already an investigation completed by an external law firm. How the f*** could this be premature?

You need to give this FO a bit more credit than this. It says they've reviewed the MLB findings and support their position. I don't take this FO as being some 'woke' group that acts prematurely without all the available information. I'm going to suggest they've done their due diligence on this and that Robbie did some bad stuff.

Worst post of the year candidate.
