I vividly remember reading this SI takedown piece of John Rocker in 1999. It was one of the more amazing reads that Sports Illustrated has ever released. Never has an athlete's persona exploded like his did when that article came out. He has been public enemy #1 in New York since December 23rd, 1999. You just can't say things like, "The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
Keep fighting the good fight, John. We need you more than ever.
