If I was accused of choking/hitting my wife then shooting a gun in my garage out of anger, I would have no expectation that my company should keep me on board.

I enjoyed watching Chapman pitch and I was more or less fine with the trade, but I found myself hating cheering for him.

I would hope my company wouldn't fire me if i did something similar. But would not be surprised if I was fired. Shouldn't I have the opportunity to get another job if I served my sentence?

Well yes. I am not saying he should not have the opportunity to play. I am fine with any private company making employment decisions that they feel is in their best interest .That said, the thread title is "did the cubs sell their soul?" and while perhaps a bit dramatic, I don't think anyone can deny that they did.

Yes. But you might be looking at a completely different career. My employer hires people with felony convictions but not until 7 years after they've served their sentence.

Sure, but I don't throw a ball 104mph. Chapman does. Not all guys get that second chance. Ray rice comes to mind.

If you're one of the greatest linebackers of all time, you can commit murder (allegedly), and still play.

kind of funny when a Yankees fan talks about teams selling their souls to win.

except Ray Rice was caught on tape doing it. Seeing it and hearing about it are way two different animals (pun kind of intended).

Yes, indeed. The Yanks are a regular who's who of degenerates.

Ha, that there is. Over a 100 year plus history they have certainly had their share of dirtballs, including their most famous owner, only for 25 years or so though, hahaha.

Interesting discussion. Sounds like people deserve a second chance, as long as they're a professional athlete signed by your team.

That's not at all what I said.

I wasn't singling you or anyone out. I was observing what seems to be the gist of the thread.

i'd say it's common in general ...

Malroth

Did they sell their soul if they don't win the world series? Is the cubs soul worth two wins in the second round?
Do you need an Angel Pagan on your team to sell your soul? I just don't know...I will ponder indefinitely.........

Wobbie

yeah.....you do need an angel pagan
