I Don't Get It! - Why Is He Getting So Much Positive Publicity?

Unfortunately, we now live in a culture that glorifies cheater's, thiefs and crooks and ignore real heroes.

Its the traffic crash that you can't look away from.

Manny was using an X Bat with the flag sticker on it today

Just like all of the "John and Kate plus 8" garbage. People love a good train wreck, and the more lives it ruins the more fascinating it is to the masses.

I still can't believe the positive hype Manny is getting. This guy tested positive after the new drug policy was put in place. During! Not before! During!

I just don't get it

I know Arod.

When A-rod's name came out everyone trashed him about taking them, but when Manny is caught it seems like no one really cares. Peter Gammons still thinks he's the greatest hitter ever, what a joke!

Agree! With not even comparing Arod and Manning, it's ridiculous he or anyone else would be praised and getting the positive hype he is getting. He tested positive while the new drug testing system was in place...period! And to top it off, he refuses to discuss it.

Makes me sick!

If Manny played for Kansas City, Peter Gammons would have never heard of him

It's not "positive publicity. It's ESPN doing its job. Ramirez is a big story and his return from the suspension is why. Had he broken an ankle, you wouldn't see the wall-to-wall coverage. He's coming back in time for the pennant race under a lot of pressure. How he responds from the layoff and deals with the PED issue is a big story and will be for the remainder of his career.
