Carlos Gomez is a sack of crap.

I don't know the OP personally or anything so this is more about this post than anything but it bothers me when someone defines a person by a few actions and forgets that every person is a complicated bundle of positive and negative. It wouldn't be a huge deal except that the labels themselves cause a ton of damage at times.

I agree. It's like when a few autograph collectors have bad experiences with a player in public and write on public message boards that the player is an ******* because of those isolated instances.

And if you read about Gomez off the field, he's known as an extremely generous and friendly person.
He's just really passionate on the field, and when opposing players like McCann and Cole provoke him, he flies off the hook. Sure he's a little immature and needs to control his temper, but it doesn't make him a "sack of crap" or a bad guy.

You are your actions. He is what he has put himself out there to be.

I agree on some level (although I think that it's only part of the story). Even so, it would be the totality of all actions, not just the ones that the media captures.
