Mets Announcers Slam Cubs Player for Skipping Game to Attend Charlie Kirk Memorial – RedState

Talk about being called on strikes.

Two New York Mets broadcasters criticized a Chicago Cubs player for missing his team’s Sunday match against the Cincinnati Reds to attend the commemorative service for the CEO of Turnage Point USA, Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on September 10 while he was expressed during a TPUSA event in Utah Valley State.

Is it too early in the article to suggest that they were not fucking advertisers?

Let’s start with the diffuser Gary Cohen, who criticized the Cubs player Matt Shaw – who had been scratched from the Cubs Sunday match on Saturday evening, by the way. Cohen’s little comments came during Sny broadcast of the game Tuesday evening dishes against the cubs.

Cohen started by calling Shaw decision “Weird” while the third base player was in the stick during the fourth round. Cohen said:

I don’t want to talk about politics about it, but the idea of ​​leaving your team in the middle of a race for a reason other than a family emergency, seems really weird to me.

It should be noted that Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Shaw was not available because he attended a friend’s funeral.

Hey Gary Cohen, it is not your business that Matt Shaw went to the commemorative service of Charlie Kirk. They were friends. Why is it a problem?@Mets Maybe you don’t have this idiot talking about players in other teams. He should worry about dishes. #Imbecile https://t.co/worqajxrct

Some thoughts.

First of all, it was not Cohen’s business. Second, his comments were stupid. Who was this clown to say Who should let what work to attend the funeral of a friend or someone else? And, thirdly, preface his comment with “I don’t want to talk about the policy of it” was, of course, talk about the policy of it.

In order not to be outdone, the diffuser of the Cohen dishes, Todd Zeile, described the absence of Shaw “unprecedented”:

It is unusual, I think it is unprecedented at least of my experience as a player, and I think that it made a little more unusual than it was revealed only after being in question because it was supposed to be in the canoe and perhaps available, and was not, and that is how it was revealed.

Question: How does the devil this guy knows if the absence of Shaw was unprecedented in the history of baseball? He does not do it; There is no way he can.

Shaw explained to Chicago Sun-Totes why he attended the commemorative service of Charlie:

My connection with Charlie was through our [Christian] faith. And this is something that motivates me every day, the reason why I am able to do what I do every day, and it is something that I am extremely grateful.

I know that without my faith and without the many blessings that have been given to me in my life, I would not be there, being able to speak to you, capable of helping this team finally go to win championships. This is something that I really feel, really blessed, so whatever the backlash, it’s ok.

Faith and character count, Mr. Cohen and M. Zille – and shame on both of you for stuck your nose where they do not belong.

Shaw also told Sun-Totes what he felt when he had learned Charlie’s assassination:

When it happened, a lot of emotions came to me. “I didn’t plan this. I do not know how to describe everything that happened and what I felt, but I would say that I was tearing away quite well. I had a lot of [teammates] Support me, and it will be something that I will remember all my life.

Difficult things, as was an incalculable number of people who supported Charlie and his organization.

I am in tears. Cubs baseball player Matt Shaw said he didn’t regret skipping a match to attend the Charlie Kirk memorial.

“My connection with Charlie was by our faith. Whatever the counterpoup, I feel strong about my faith and that what should happen”

Kirk, who was born in the suburbs of Chicago d’Arlington Heights, was “one of the biggest fans of the Cubs that I have ever met,” said Shaw, while adding that he had received texts from Charlie after each match.

The amazing commentary of ABC reporting on Kirk Killing obtains huge backlash, which makes him desperately try to explain

Sometimes it is better to keep your thoughts for you. It was one of those moments.

When sporting advertisers, of everyone – and I am a big fan of sport – run my mouth on something they obviously have no knowledge, they are offline. Again, that would probably not have imported if they did it.

By the way, do you think these two guys would have sounded if Matt Shaw – or a black player – had jumped a baseball match To attend the funeral of George Floyd? Me neither.
