Yup. Sometimes I see the hot takes and wonder exactly how many titles ago so many Boston fans became such a bunch of entitled brats.
Price does seem to be a thin-skinned, self-important dick whose ego, inflated to bursting by tens of millions of dollars, explodes at even the faintest tap but you know what? At least he cares. He’s not playing up to the level he expects of himself and in typical human fashion, he’s surly and looking for someone to blame. To a certain extent that can help: professional athletes don’t get very far if they’re plagued by self doubt, but he’s also in an era and a town that feasts on even minor controversy (ESPN made much of Price wincing when he was doused with Gatorade after Vazquez’s walkoff. Come on). Let’s hope this strategy works out for him.

The lack of self-awareness here is fucking impressive. Read the article again, and immediately look in the mirror after. Tell me what you see.

Really? In your job the media routinely reports on your failings, people hurl insults at you and every social interaction you have is met by people reminding you of your worst moments? You have a tough gig.

This article is tone deaf garbage. Most people, in their jobs, have to endure criticism far worse than David Price has endured and do so with dignity and class. Price can’t handle the word “yuck” directed at a teammate and used it as a reason to disrespect a Hall of fame legend. It was a classless move. On top of that, his actions were applauded by teammates and tacitly condoned by his manager.

Nobody wants him to by on the DL and nobody wants him to be a classless punk. This article is a classic strawman argument.

That’s not what I said, but since you started your comment with “Actually,” I guess there’s not much I can do

Actually, he used the reasoning that you said was the only valid excuse to hate Price. Everybody wanted him to come here and succeed, but he has acted like a pompous douche since the get-go. He is so unlikable that he has now dragged the rest of the team down with him.

Saying all of Red Sox Nation wants him to go on the DL to make his life miserable is ridiculous. He is getting paid 30 million dollars a year, why should he care what is being said on Twitter? If he was smart he’d delete his account and roll around in his stacks of money.

Baseball is a kids game and players get to live their childhood dreams and get paid millions to do it. However, David Price has to be told that once he comes off the field , he needs to put his big boy pants on and act like a man. Kids don’t get get millions to play ball, because they are kids. You get $$$$ to play because you are a grown up. Now act like one. We the fans pay your salary, so wipe your nose and become a man David, or go home. Your parents must be do proud junior!!

Lol. You couldn’t have asked for a better example.

This is a man who owns a lot of white-player jerseys.

Fucking stupid article. If you come to Boston and act like a spoiled fucking brat, this is what you get. Now why don’t you take your pussy ass to Cleveland or some other god-forsaken place.
