Boston pre game getting heat?

notjomommasclint · Apr 21, 2013

Ortiz is taking a small amount of heat for his statement yesterday in the Red Sox pre game. Here's the quote.

"This is our f_ _king city and no one is going to dictate our freedom, stay strong"

I love it! i normally wouldnt want my kids to hear it but in the last week a word is far less threatening than bombs, bullets, and the fear they brought.

How do you feel about big Papi dropping the f bomb yesterday?

Seriously, people should just not complain about things like that. It's not like he's running around dropping f-bombs all the time in the first place and this is a pretty extreme situation where a lot of people actually are thinking exactly what he said.

Still not better than Chase Utley's bomb at the WS parade: "World F'in Champions!!"

I was totally surprised by that, I was like: "Wait, did he really just say that?"

But he was emotional and it came out...obviously he didn't use the word in a derogatory fashion and I had no problem with it. For any younger children that heard him say it well...I'd be very surprised if it was the first time they have heard that word honestly. I wish more people would say what's on their mind rather than trying to be 'PC' all the time.

That pregame yesterday was very well done...very emotional but they did a great job with it. #BostonStrong

The FCC said they were ok with it. I don't know why anyone would care about it. It's not like kids don't hear it everywhere these days.

People should look at what happened in the city over the course of the last week, then look at the word he said, and then put it in perspective.

Of all the crap to complain about............

Yeah you hit the nail on the head right here...what Ortiz said is a grain of sand compared to the beach that was the events in Boston last week. Ridiculous.

I loved it he was just showing his true emotion.

Like you said a WORD is far less threatening than what those two coward terrorists were doing to the city of Boston and our county.

This "unbridled emotion" would mean more to me if it wasn't from a lying scumbag like Ortiz. How can anyone believe a word that comes out of that fool's mouth.

I fixed your quote

No issue with it at all. The first time I saw the clip, I just thought it was a glitch in the audio. Then the second time I was like, yep, he definitely just saidd that. Nice.

Junior Griffey · Apr 21, 2013

Well, what you added is a parenting issue. You won't hear my kid talking like that when he's older.

I think part of it too is kids trying to act cool, and I agree with you. No kid of mine will talk like that.

Its also a generational thing too. When I was that age, there was no way in hell I would talk like that to an adult or another person.

I agree. I've got two of my own and they definitely know better than to speak that way in my home. While I cannot control what they do out of my sight, I can definitely instill a notion of how not to speak.

As for the pre game statement, I support him in his emotionally charged wording. The situation is still raw and heavy. It's easy to understand his emotion.

I am fine with Ortiz showing his true emotions out there. People should take into perspective what is going on and stop being so PC. Back in the day we were always told to toughen up. If your delicate ears are injured by what he said, turn down the volume.

Boston Strong.

It's what Manny would have done.

And pussification of America nor helping with the outrageousness of it. It would have sounded as good without the f bomb though.
