July 15, 200818 yr I think it's great that the guy has overcome everything he has, but I can't figure out why in the world he gets treated so much differently than other pro athletes who have dealt with substance abuse? Anyone?
July 15, 200818 yr I guess because so far he hasn't shown any sign of going back to that lifestyle. Seems like a lot of others can't stay away from it.

July 15, 200818 yr One guy off the top of my head is Michael Irvin.... I don't really think you could say he is treated unfairly? He is always getting tons of love.
July 15, 200818 yr The same Michael Irvin who was arrested for drugs and/or paraphernalia twice after his retirement?
July 15, 200818 yr Author I don't really think you could say he is treated unfairly? He is always getting tons of love. I'm talking about on here. Hamilton is treated like the second coming of Christ himself on this board.
July 15, 200818 yr The media did the same thing with Brett Favre following his addiction and recovery from popping pain pills
July 15, 200818 yr Author The same Michael Irvin who was arrested for drugs and/or paraphernalia twice after his retirement? Do you know of another Michael Irvin? Because I sure don't....
July 15, 200818 yr I'm talking about on here. Hamilton is treated like the second coming of Christ himself on this board. It's because he is a former Red. Had Hamilton not been sold by the Cubs to the Reds following the Rule 5 draft and was wearing a Cubs hat last night, the board would be gushing with posts on how they are tired of hearing about Hamilton.
July 15, 200818 yr Do you know of another Michael Irvin? Because I sure don't.... Same one. If Hamilton were to relapse, I'm sure the love would go away. Much like it did for Irvin and others.
July 15, 200818 yr Do you know of another Michael Irvin? Because I sure don't.... Ok Mr. Conspiracy Theory why do you think it is? Are you going to play the race card? Michael Irvin is still a crack head and has been busted since the first time. If Hamilton gets busted with crack then everyone will be all over him too
July 15, 200818 yr Author It's because he is a former Red. Had Hamilton not been sold by the Cubs to the Reds following the Rule 5 draft and was wearing a Cubs hat last night, the board would be gushing with posts on how they are tired of hearing about Hamilton. That's pretty pathetic then. It's sickening to see people on here talk about how wonderful of a person Hamilton is and what an ispiration he is, when they have no idea the type of person he really is.
July 15, 200818 yr Author Ok Mr. Conspiracy Theory why do you think it is? Are you going to play the race card? Michael Irvin is still a crack head and has been busted since the first time. If Hamilton gets busted with crack then everyone will be all over him too Race has nothing to do with it....And no, if Hamilton got busted again, people on here would be saying how they felt sorry for him.
July 15, 200818 yr That's pretty pathetic then. It's sickening to see people on here talk about how wonderful of a person Hamilton is and what an ispiration he is, when they have no idea the type of person he really is. So are you claiming to know the "real" Josh Hamilton?
