June 6, 200917 yr He's a professional athlete and he's fair game, even moreso if he played for any other team in the league
June 6, 200917 yr He's a professional athlete and he's fair game, even moreso if he played for any other team in the league :laugh::laugh::laugh: What makes him fair game because he is a professional athlete? I must have missed that memo! Please tell me!
June 6, 200917 yr People on here have speculated about many a health issue when it comes to athletes. Votto is no different. Despite being a Red.

June 6, 200917 yr Does not make it right that people on a website/message board based in Kentucky, or any where for that matter, speculate about a man's health issues. It is just not right and really we should respect Joey's privacy and his issues. We are not debating whether or not the guy can hit or play the field or be a leader in the clubhouse or what kind of career he is going to have. This is a serious issue and should be handled that way!
June 6, 200917 yr I'm with you TC. It didn't stop you in the Vince Young thread that dealt with possible mental health. But like I said, Young doesn't play pro sports in Cincinnati. http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?t=159875
June 6, 200917 yr :laugh::laugh::laugh: What makes him fair game because he is a professional athlete? I must have missed that memo! Please tell me! He's a famous athlete and a high-profile public figure. Check your US Supreme Court cases for the memo.
June 6, 200917 yr I don't see where anyone is bashing Votto. They are saying there is likely more to the situation than what the Reds are saying. Similar to when Mark Prior played for the Cubs and no one was buying his achilles injury the team was trying to sell. Everyone knew it was a problem with his arm. Is anyone buying ear infection as the sole cause?

Is anyone buying ear infection as the sole cause? You made my point, thanks, it is all speculation. I personally do not think the condition of a man's health is something to speculate about. So are you now privy to inside info in the Cubs organization? LOL! :lol:
June 6, 200917 yr No. It's well documented that Prior had arm issues before the 2004 season that the club tried to mask through his achilles injury.
June 6, 200917 yr Famous athletes and other public figures are fair game for criticism. You may not like it, but that's how it is. It's the price you pay for fame and the good things that accompany it. You probably didn't cover it in your high school or college classes, unless you took a class on media law. And like Scribe said, nobody's really even being all that critical about him. We're just curious because of how tight-lipped everyone in the Reds organization has been about it. He's arguably the best player on the team, and he's missed more than two weeks with mystery malady. As fans, we want to know when he'll be back and helping the Reds win.
