PFSIKH 101,506 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Lol, Trying to insult me? I'm sorry but I don't consider people who play professional sports great americans. If he served twice he was obviously a competent soldier. Him leaving to play baseball deprived the service of a competent soldier. Nor should you. That great thing about this nation is the military is a voluntary endeavor. That is why I chose to join and Scott did not. Williams chose to serve in a capacity that put himself at risk. He should be commended for that a 1000x before anything he did on the field. Much like Yogi serving in the Navy during D-Day. I am sure their are plenty of athletes during that time whose tour of duty consisted of being a part of a USO Tour. ted and Yogi should be recognized for what they did.

Smashmouth 13,990 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 When I first saw the title of this thread ithought maybe they played a 2 hand touch game with Teds head. I was Shocked to learn they were actully taking baseball swings at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Gun Of Bavaria 208,695 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ted Williams was one of the greatest players in baseball and he left to fight a war. He's a great American. It has nothing to do with sports....if anything, his leaving of sports to fight makes him that much greater. It isn't even a debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thai Jet 163,395 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I really hope nobody chimes in with jokes on this. This is not a Yankee\Red Sox thing. This is a humanity thing. Ted Williams was a great American. Regardless, nobody deserves to have something like this happen. Just disgusting. Totally disgusting. Good post, totally agree. Some people should never be allowed to reproduce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thai Jet 163,395 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 No he wasn't. He was an athlete. Don't go crazy here. A fireman who makes just enough to feed his family who runs into burning buildings is a great American. A person who hits a ball with a stick well is not a great American. Read up on the man's life will you ? Sometimes you're totally clueless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thai Jet 163,395 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Well, at least Garb has a brain today. She always does. I still can't figure out how she's a Pats fan . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neckdemon 50,394 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 They could have found a less competent guy to replace him which led to people dying who would not have died had he stayed in the service. All for a couple of million dollars. Kids grew up homeless and hungry because someone wanted to play a game over being in the service. you really can't be serious with this crap..............

BP 111,594 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ted Williams is a war hero and a great American. I hope one day he can rip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A fireman who makes just enough to feed his family who runs into burning buildings is a great American. A person who hits a ball with a stick well is not a great American. When you have absolutely no clue what he did, you should stfu. he was in wwII and left baseball (which he didnt have to do) to fly planes in Korea after that. I get a kick out of these whiners who critique old school Americans. who by the way were the ones that made this country great back in the day. obviously those days are long gone, and will never return. It's probably nort your fault, arsis. I blame your parents Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I blame your parents yeah i think that's what happened. i don't think he knew that williams fought in wars.....and then after he found out he tried to continue with his BS anyway to cover it up.

Maxman 539,399 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 yeah i think that's what happened. i don't think he knew that williams fought in wars.....and then after he found out he tried to continue with his BS anyway to cover it up. Which is funny because like I said before I called Williams a great American and it had nothing to do with baseball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thor99 410,326 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 yeah i think that's what happened. i don't think he knew that williams fought in wars.....and then after he found out he tried to continue with his BS anyway to cover it up. What? Arsis didn't know something? I don't believe that for a second. He's the smartest person in the world. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maxman 539,399 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Okay back on topic, Ted Williams did a great job serving this country. Arsis wasn't aware of this and tried to speak out on a topic which he didn't know anything about. But no big deal. At any rate, we hope that Ted can rest in peace.
