Can't blame the guy for doing drugs. He's a giant idiot, though.
“As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect,” Braun’s statement said. “I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers’ organization.”
No ownership, no self-insight, just cheap pity-mongering and dewy-eyed reference to some abstract "situation" that "happened". Ah, and he's not "perfect", and perhaps said so at some hazy point in the past, so why hassle him?
On the bench at Miller Park, in the summer of 2011, Braun spoke about his interests off the field — his restaurant and clothing line and energy drink. He was always a strong student, he said; he got only one B in high school, in advanced-placement chemistry.
“All these things are a result of me having success on the baseball field, carrying myself the right way and staying out of trouble off the field,” he said.
Typical empty-headed rich clown who bought into his own hype. If baseball were serious about drugs, we'd never see this fruit again.
