Rose Law Group Reporter Gripe of the Week
By Phil Riske | Managing Editor
After LA-LA Land’s Dodgers jumped in our pool at Chase Field as it captured the National League Western Division with a win over the Diamondbacks, there were valid arguments on both sides as to whether it was a classless act or no-harm-no-foul.
I tweeted frolicking in our pool was not really the issue: Did they go Number 1 in it?
A couple of days later, there were media reports some of the players admitted doing just that.
Classless, crude and contaminating!
I’m a National Leaguer and was going to pull for the Dodgers if they got into the World Series. Not anymore.
Has there been an apology from the billionaire owners of the Dodgers? Not that I’ve seen, and you can bet when the Dbacks meet the Urinators from Los Angeles, someone in blue is going to take a fastball right in the butt.
All this said, the peeing the pool incident is meaningless when you consider what has surrounded Dodger games.
Two years ago, a San Francisco Giants fan was beaten into a coma at a Dodgers game. An arrest was made.
San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr says two Giants fans have been arrested in the fatal stabbing of a Dodgers fan near San Francisco’s AT&T Park after the Giants’ 6-4 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
We, of course, are not pinning these brutal acts on the Dodgers or Giants baseball organizations, but peeing in a pool and killing people shows the range of how out of whack that which surrounds professional sports has become.
