As far as Jared Fogle, he committed a crime. Did this wannabe blogger?

If the Cardinals hosted an African-American night and said he didn't want his family to be a part of that, would you feel the same?

I would feel the exact same as I do now. He is a bigot. I would want no association with him. His views should be known so that people like that can be outed.

If he wrote pieces about baseball that I would find enjoyable then I would read it.

I think Michael Crichton's views on global warming were wrongheaded and dangerous. I sure liked Congo though.

I would not knowingly accommodate a bigot.

I'd also argue that the [expletive] views aren't irrelevant because the subject matter is unrelated.

But the subject matter also isn't unrelated.

I'd argue mental illness and spin rate on four seamers are unrelated.

VEB wrote an article about why the Cardinals should host a Pride Night last year. It may very well have been the impetus to get the Cardinals to do it. They're related.

VEB writes about much more than baseball games.

Ah, well then you got me. Haven't been on VEB for awhile. If they've been writing about political/religious subjects and they almost hired someone with views counter to their core beliefs and mission, it would seem like someone didn't do their homework.
