i agree too but really if some dude wants to take ONE DAY off so that he can observe his beliefs, whats in there that deserves a three-page thread ?
[size=10]Manny Ramirez....$20 million
Pedro Martinez....$17.5 million
Curt Schilling...$12 million (and a $2 million bonus)
Never hearing a Yankee fan chant 1918 again...priceless. [/size]
The fantasy season is winding down and it's not like the FBC has been hopping with new and exciting threads. I think you can attribute this thread's popularity to timing. We don't have anything better to do.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
When athletes sign a contract, they know what is expected of them.
If you're going to write something like this, wouldn't you at least find out what the contract actually says first?
But lack of research notwithstanding, I agree with Transmo. It's sad that this is rehashed year after year.
I would say that the reason is 2-fold:
1. Whoever brought this up has Green on his team and is upset at missing game(s).
2. The perceived inconsistencies in his taking time off for Yom Kippur.
Keep in mind that I understand the magnitude of this day in the Jewish religion. I am merely pointing out that if it is truly important to him, he would take this day each year.

I don't know if he's been consistent about this or not. But we don't know what's going on in his personal life. He may have just recently renewed his faith. I don't think it's fair to judge him because he didn't observe the holiday last year. A lot can change in a year.

I agree and I really can't question anyone with their religion. I would hope that he wouldn't be like many athletes and only find religion when times are tough, though.
