Wow,another athlete out of touch with reality!

White Sox DH Adam LaRoche chose to retire after team president Ken Williams told him his son was no longer welcome in the clubhouse, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports.

LaRoche informed the club and his teammates during a meeting Tuesday that he was retiring after a 12-year career. He said his teammates asked him to reconsider but that he was “confident” in his choice.

LaRoche’s 14-year-old son Drake has traveled with his father’s teams for several years. In a Chicago Tribune feature about LaRoche and his son last year, LaRoche referred to Drake as the team’s “26th man.” Drake goes to school in Kansas but the school allows he and his sister Montana “to take weeks worth of homework with them when they're on the road,” the Tribune reported.

Williams told Rosenthal that children are still allowed in the White Sox clubhouse but he told LaRoche that Drake should spend less time with the team.


“I don't think he should be here 100 percent of the time—and he has been here 100 percent, every day, in the clubhouse. I said that I don't even think he should be here 50 percent of the time. Figure it out, somewhere in between,” Williams said. “We all think his kid is a great young man. I just felt it should not be every day, that's all. You tell me, where in this country can you bring your child to work every day?”

Let's open The Drake LaRoche tavern

a cool 71 million is coming his way when his pa dies, so the kid is kind of failure proof but you could pull a lot of tail as a teen being in school with a famous and wealthy father

My screen is too small. Can anyone tell me what it says right above LaRoche's simple child?

Yea, but the Sawx were winning.

This kid was like Cousin Oliver



Still, I wonder if any of the other players take issue with this anti family move by Kenny

And the boy's father is too dumb to enroll him to at least take advantage of that. They really ought to put a special 50% LaRoche Family capital gains tax in place. Or at least let Erin Andrews come stay in the room next door at their hotel.

Adam is said to be a "home schooling nut". LOL
The nuts are the parents who send their kids to public schools. Obviously. Obviously.
Great news. This should translate as 4 or 5 more victories. But in the Summer of 2016, these victories will not result in more fans heading to Cominsky Field.
So, I'm hoping for a move to Habana in a few years for the Sox.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

drinky is reporting some players complained about the kid being in the clubhouse all the time.

I can absolutely see that. Always having to watch their language or beers or whatever.

not even a question. It shouldnt have happened, but after a season and 3 weeks of of pre season...now thats it?

Did Adam laroche give him the locker and the name plate and the uniform?? NO

Oh yeah, the organization did! but then the organization had a change of mind....or did the prick President just have another one of his knee jerk moments?

Too bad the manager cant manage his own clubhouse...

Bernsie thought it was a genius move by Kenny to take the bullet. He saved Robin and Rick.

This is one the dumbest things I've ever heard in sports. Both sides are wrong.

I think both sides are RIGHT (belatedly). Shouldn't be there and Laroche can do whatever the hell he wants.

Christ, he even got a chair and a locker? Well shame on the Sox for doing that.

Some SCORE texter had a funny line. He said the kid should have told his Dad, "Look, I'm cool with not being with you all the time, get my ass a babysitter, keep playing and we'll split the 13 million."

Saved them from what? Showing the world they had some stones?

if any part of it is meant to send a message then the guy in the clubhouse should have done it.

Poorly executed , knee jerk reaction

By the way, where the hell is the mother in this? Doesn't she ever want to see her kid?

That's what I was wondering.

25% chance LaRoche is fucking his kid. Good on the Sox getting as far away from this as possible. When dealing with people who grew up south of I-80 it is prudent to vet them fully lest you wind up with a creepy hick like LaRoche.

Can't talk about the great blowjob they got from some bimbo in Baltimore last trip.

If the Sox did it because other players didn't like it, they were not wrong to do so.
If the Sox did it because he was a distraction, they were not wrong to do so.
If the Sox did it to get LaRoche off the team, they were not wrong to do so.

LaRoche deserves nothing after the season he had. Let him go home and teach his kid multiplication tables.

Never knew sox fans were a bunch of SJWs railing against guns, god, homeschoolers, and hunters. May need to rethink this fandom thing.

All these players who are making pro-LaRoche tweets with the #familyfirst hashtag are douchebags. Chipper Jones says it's "just a game". Yeah, just a game you goofs get millions to play. FUCK YOU!!!
