A-Rod's diss to U.S.

I LOVE THE WAY THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN THE US FOR THERE FREEDOM AND MONEY BUT THEY NEVER STAND UP FOR THE US AND STAY TRUE TO IT, IS THERE REALLY ANY TRUE AMERICANS LEFT OUT THERE.

Personally, I am quite happy about this.(NOT A SPORTS FAN) I like to listen to news radio 88 & I am sick & tired of hearing A-rod this & A-rod that...GOOD F'ing RIDDANCE!!

A-ROD YOU WERE BORN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! YOU HAVE YOUR PARENTS WHO ARE FROM THERE. rEAL CLOSE TIES, BUT YOUR NO DOMINICAN: YOUR AN AMERICAN, WITH DOMINICAN HERITAGE RUNNING THRU YOU, OH YEAH SINCE YOUR PARENTS ARE FROM THERE YOU CAN GET DUAL CITIZENSHIP, b*** COVERED! mAN JUST ANOTHER REASON TO HATE THE YANKEES

Thank whatever god you believe in! The U.S. will be so much better off with this arrogant, overpaid, brainless individual out of the country!!

How many dominicans pay for all that salary AROD has made?( buying the tickets, purchasing the merchandise etc...) How many United States citizens have given their hard work earnings to see him play, supported him? Go back there and play full time. (and take Madonna with you)

I'm tired of these over paid children who don't stand up for there country. Next season he can stay in the DR.

Why all the hatred for Arod. He's the only player who earns his money. His problems aren't any more that all the other players. He'll be the home run champ when he retires and god know how many other records he'll obtain. Relax and enjoy him because soon enough, he'll be gone. Had you rather cheer for Barry Bonds? Most of you idiots don't even care about baseball. Grow up, quit bitching,and find a girl friend or boy friend,,,whichever you prefer,,,,,,,,"not that there is anythng wrong with that"""""(seinfeld)

As for "love of country" Most olympians, currently, don't care about country.. They are in it for the money. In the old day, when they couldn't make money,,, it meant something.. now it's just another marketing tool.. so get off your high horse,, no celebrities do anything for country,,,it's all about the money...!

Patriotism ! Ha Ha ! Give me Give me should get rid of all non patriots of the United States of America !Do not let them play any ppro sports or give them contracts ! Shame on the owners too of these so called pro teams !

a-rod is a jerk.another spoiled jock.Take Ortiz too.what is wrong with these guys.now more than ever we need everyone to step up to the plate for the USA.

He's an American citizen who is playing for the Dominican Republic? I say he's a traitor and deserves to be hung for treason.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass and take your over the hill girlfriend with you.

yeah baseball blows football is a real sport. go dallas cowboys :0) oh yeah this is just a sporting event calm down people he's only playing baseball in a different country, not joining a terrorist organization.

wow, this was actually most suprising bcuz i am a huge fan of Dodgers and Yankees and A-Rod too, regardless for me with his big salary, Yankee fans are probably kind of mad right now. He should definitely re-consider his choice.

Ppl,does an american professional socer player,playing for a european team,have to play for that country in the world cup or play for the usa?

what a pecker head...

madonna gets off to it when A-ROD takes a rod up his b***.

As long as we compensate otherwise useless lumps of humanity like these athletes/actors/entertainers so outlandishly, we will see these sort of results. This isn't about A-rod, this is about our nation's completely screwed up priorities.

What's amazing is that anyone is surprised by this. Of course he wants to be a hero to all the upcoming players from the DR. This way he'll have fans for years to come. Self-serving and unsrprisingly believeable! Sad, sad, sad....

I can tell you from experience that being a Dominican who was born in the United States is difficult. I love the United States particularly NY but I also appreciate that my family raised us in the typical Dominican fashion. I don't blame A Rod one bit in his decision (and mind you I can't stand him). For the most part A Rod has been a sell out in the eyes of most Dominicans so its about time he did something to represent. We might have been born here but we don't forget what our family instilled in us and their struggles.

THANK YOU AMOSCORP!!!! Just because you are born here doesn't mean you forget your heritage..Yeo (or however you spell his name) the Chinese basketball player represented China in the Olympics! So what if he wants to represent HIS roots and not the US!!! This is a freaking melting pot you D**N idots!!! Get the HELL over your f**king selves!!!!

Shame.........shame.........shame......on you. If you feel that strongly about it, then give back the $$$ the good ole US has given you in salary. There are lots of Americans who can use the $$ right now.

I don't understand why everyones making such a big deal over this! He wants to get back to his heritage and celebrate it! whats so wrong with that? just because he lives in america doesnt necessarily make him "american." he's dominican-republic american. hes still has to keep his ties to his "home." I completely agree with Mskity!

even though he was born in the US, his heritage is Dominican! he is not a trader to the US or American Baseball. Let him play where ever he wants. I am not a fan of the Yankees or A-Rod. I'm a Dodgers fan. Let the athletes choose where they want to play. Many soccer athletes do, there is nothing wrong with it in my eyes.

OK as a person who is from the Dominican Republic AND also a US citizen you people need to stop hating. Yea he;s not my fav player at all he's not of my liking but you kow what he has the right to choose. He played for the US in the last classic so whats wrong with him playing for the Dominican Republic. America also stands for UNITY and DIVERSITY people so stop being so damn racist and let the man be. And yea ORTIZ and RAMIREZ will represent DR too most likely so ya need to shut the f*** up and let Dominican players represent their country as well.. They earn their money just like anyomne else does. And if you don't like it then don't spend ur money on it matter fact don't even watch the classic. you people make me sick let the man be! You want to claim your american all the way and what not but are u really representing what AMERICA is... and yea go ahead give me thumbs down i can care less.. but as a DOMINICAN AMERICAN you people make me sick!

hello everybody i think that their is no problem with a-rod choosing to play for the dominican republic in the world baseball classics because, you got to give him props he has a s*** load of money and the moey he is making with the yankees should made and latin person proud to see that their is something that a latin person can do. and i really look up to him because he is latin and i want to be like him when i grow up.who wouldnt he is a famous baseball player HAD a hot ass wife and has alot of moey. so stop whining like it is a bad thing that he wants to play for his country in the classic let him be happy and play for whoever he want to play for

Relax everyone Its just a game he's not going to fight for Dominican Republic He's just going to play there, and I'm sure that most first generation Americans feel very close ties to both cultures. I know I do

I am Dominican born, and a Red Sox fan, and I hate ARod on so many levels and will not be the one to defend him. With that said, people need to get over themselves and realize that while he's made millions of dollars, he's earned his money through his talent and contributions to the team, and it's not like the average U.S. taxpayer is contributing to his salary, so while he got his shot here, it's not like he owes anybody anything.

His money comes from the billions of dollars that the owners of his team make, in large part, because of his popularity as a player, and team success. I don't see anything wrong with him wanting to represent his heritage, however, the fact that he's switching sides, makes him look very desperate to make amends to a very tarnished image, and in my opinion, foolish.

he is an american. of dominican desent(?) shame on him. he is not a dominican he should not play for them.period

anyone who cheats on their wife while she is giving birth to his child is a terrible human being... period!
