"'I want to thank God for giving me this platform as a baseball player,' Pujols said, standing in front of tens of thousands of people gathered for the 'Restoring Honor' rally organized by talk-show host Glenn Beck."
When introducing Pujols to receive the childishly titled "Hope Award" at the rally, manager Tony LaRussa -- a world-class dick hole in his own right -- said, "In reality, I think most of us would agree that real-life heros are hard to find."
Simply put, a fucking baseball player is not a hero. He is a professional athlete, nothing more. He is paid to jump and run around for the amusement of an audience. His charity work is commendable and he apparently is very good at being a (cough, HGH) professional baseball player.
But when you accept a bullshit award from a bullshit rally with a vague title and sinister motivations, you implicitly approve of and endorse that overwhelming bullshit as valid.
Kudos to Glenn Beck, though, for finding a token Hispanic ballplayer who whites don't mind, so his angry white people rally could have some diverse window dressing. Well played, sir.
