I put it in spoilers as an aside, not to take the conversation in a different direction, but this is such a shit post. Oscar was a kid with immense talent who was born into poverty, received a low signing bonus, and was making life-changing money for the first time in his life. As we've seen with others like Yordano Ventura, he made a mistake that cost him his life because people in his situation make mistakes. He is indeed a cautionary tale - that's why the Cardinals have stepped up to address it in their organization and take a more hands-on approach for prospects they see as at-risk of falling prey to the same thing as Oscar. Having an "OT" patch on uniforms the season after his death is not "deifying" him - it's mourning over the death of a teammate. Shitting on him and calling him a murderer is totally uncalled for. But that's neither here nor there - like I said, that was just an aside.
I'm not grasping as straws - I just don't see this conversation going anywhere anymore. Sorry that you were reminded that your organization is run/funded by some of the worst people!
