Sorry, but I just don't get it. See, one of sports biggest superstars, (not one of my faves) but a superstar nonetheless, was shown photographed like this in the current issue of Details Magazine.
WTF IS THAT? Are you kidding me?This is the same guy who, just a few months ago, was caught in a big media frenzy for lying about baseball's carnal sin; steroid use. Yeah, A-RIOD lied about using steroids and he got busted, but we aren't talking about that now. Today we are talking about the higest paid player in baseball and the spectacle of that photo above.
That is not fashion or art in my book; that is just plain WRONG.
Please tell me he's not that self centered or that stupid. The way I see it, unless he went to school to only eat lunch, A-Rod had to know he was going to take a serious lashing from his Yankee teammates.
"What was he thinking?" mused one anonymous teammate.
Another wanted to know if Rodriguez realized he was being photographed, and was surprised when told it was a professional photo shoot. Most just shook their heads or shrugged, with a couple saying you’d never see them in similar type pictures. One Yankee said: "Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to make fun of him for it."

Even his teammate was at a loss to explain this asking, "Did he realize he was being photographed"?? Maybe it was E he was taking instead of steroids, because from the looks of this photo, A-Rod needs to get a room with himself.
Seriously, I don't want my son to see this photo. This is a complete embarrassment to the sanctity of athletes everywhere. I am a woman who loves sports and I have a deep appreciation and respect for the dedication and committment an athlete posesses. But this stunt raises the bar and now all bets are off.
When I see stuff like this, it makes me want to hurl. Hard.
I know that because he is a Yankee, I should at least be reveling in this latest A-Rod spectacle. Sadly, I cannot. Regardless of his unfortunate choice of teams, today I see no pin stripes or red sox.
Today I am embarassed as a sports fan. Plain and simple.
