This is pretty bad ass


Then there's this: LaRoche, along with Brewers pitcher Blaine Boyer, spent 10 days in November in Southeast Asian brothels, wearing a hidden camera and doing undercover work to help rescue underage sex slaves.

That's what stood out to me.

Odd or not, that's pretty ballsy.

people keep saying that but he never said what he would do about it. presumably he would correct any misbehavior, not throw the kid out of the clubhouse.

Did you read the article?

Come on man.

Mmhmm he was doing "undercover" work in Thai brothels that's right. He even brought another person, totally trustworthy because he's another baseball player, with. Those videos he took were only for rescuing the underage sex slaves he was seeing.

Riiiight.

This guy's a fuckin' creep, knew it all along.

the article was just a rehash of the old article except for the sex tourist trip he took.

The Thailand thing is weird. How does one investigate undercover in a joint specializing in child porn? If you are just sitting there with a hidden camera and not using the "services" in such a place wouldn't they give you the boot? Seems to me they would not just let people hang out. Also, where are the saved kids? They filmed then left without breaking free the uncovered youths?

theoretically they could have just made some videos to raise awareness for actual non for profits that actually, like, do stuff.

Took more guts than brains to do what he did.

Let us know when you are going to help with some social justice, rather than just talk about it on a message board.

_________________

The article talks about the big deal he made about it including giving a big speech to the team about it.

Not to mention doing yet another interview about it.

He made the videos.

Isn't it up to the non profits to decide what is done with them?

yeah, I'm saying if this is what he did, there doesn't appear to be a problem, does there?

So, lets just get this straight.

Being away from your kid for ten days while you hang out around sex slaves in Thailand: OK
Being away from your kid for small portions of the baseball season because Kenny Williams asked you to tone it down: Not OK

yes, great comparison

Do you even remember what you posted?

He spoke in front of the team, complained about how Kenny Williams treated him, and has done interviews about it too where he is still making a big deal out of it.

In fairness, I think this is the standard for leaving the White Sox. I think it's part of the corporate exit process.

why are you guys so fucking obsessed with Adam Laroche? why does every human have to believe and act as you deem appropriate. The normal approach would be "who fucking cares what adam laroche does?" But no. He has different beliefs AND YOU CAN'T FUCKING STAND IT!!

I hope he keeps irritating you until the end of time.

Huh?

I posted about it because an article was posted about it.

I don't care about him more than being glad that he is gone.

YOU CAN'T FUCKING STAND IT

You tell 'em, Hatchetman! If LaRoche were a Muslim they'd be building a playground for the kid next to the pitcher's mound.

What organization was this that sent Adam LaRoche and his hunting buddy to Thailand? How is playing baseball a qualification for investigating sex trafficking? That story does not add up at all.

LaRoche himself said he doesn't like learning and is not smart enough to do anything other than play baseball. Yet, he is trusted to scope out underage prostitutes for an expose? It makes the Tim Tebow performing circumcisions story seem normal. Ehh. it's still weird, but less weird than this.
