Jason Varitek is a coward

By 18 Comments

I just watched the brawl between the Yankees and Red Sox that occurred during today’s game. There’s no excuse for fighting during a baseball game, and it sets a terrible example for kids. Even worse, Jason Varitek, the catcher for Boston, took the first swing at A-Rod while still wearing his catcher’s mask. Starting the fight and doing so while wearing protective equipment should earn him a longer suspension than anyone else involved. Sure A-Rod mouthed off at the pitcher, but he didn’t swing at anyone until he was attacked. He also didn’t have a steel mask over his face to hide behind.

  1. I left comments on for this post, perhaps in spite of my better judgement. Please remember that this is a place for civil discourse.

  2. hey robert,
    it’s not right for him to fight, but it’s ok for him to swear and discrace varitek and his family? i just want to know, what part of new york do you live in? i don’t think it’s varitek that’s the coward, i think it’s a-rod and the rest of the yankee organization. bottom line: yankees suck!
    GO SOX!!!

  3. Where did I condone the swearing and yelling? One point I was making was that Varitek was the one who took it from some jawing to a fight. Secondly, he started swinging while wearing his mask, and in my opinion, that makes him a coward. That’s it, all I was saying. I have a lot of respect for the Sox and for Sox fans. Go Yanks.

  4. I believe that Jason Varitek did a good thing when he decided to begin a brawl. He was just protecting his pitcher and Arod deserved what happened to him. It was one of the smartest things to do was to keep the mask becuase there was no place to hit him. That trick was learned over at Georgia Tech. Arod should have a bigger and longer punishment then Jason becuase he did antaginise the event and you didn’t see Arod try to stop it did you????? If he was smart then he would of just drop his bat and go to first base but NO he had to start a scene that he should be punished for. Then Arod is trying to play victim becuase he wants them to drop the appeal to Jason’s suspension and let his go. Arod didn’t get hurt so i don’t understand why he needs to be so whiney about the situation and just go on with life!!!!! With the mask and a coward! JASON ISN’T A COWARD IF HE WAS THEN HE WOULDN’T OF STARTED A FIGHT WOULD HE HAVE????????

  5. People don’t understand that this argument is going to be 2sided! THe Yank fans think that we the soxs did something and we the soxs fans even though were right think that the yanks did something wrong (even though they did) so lets just say that were both wrong and go on with life!!!!! GO SOXS!!!!! *one day we will win the world series maybe not with tito francona but with the players we just got for nomah we will win maybe not this year but yank fans watch out!!!!

  6. And tell me robert- if you are trying to defend one of your teammates and stop a rep. for the boy and girls club from dropping 4 “F” bombs, and you are the toughest player on your team, a leader, are you really going to think about taking off your mask? Are you going to say to A-Rod, just wait up a sec while i take off my gear before we fight? Be realistic please!

  7. Setting an example for kids? F’ you to a someone who hurts you is really setting an example for those kids that he works with at the B+G’s club

    And varitek wasnt swinging at him- he gave him a push just to get is body so full of cash down to first base for he would actually shut up.

  8. Ok, look guys. Fights happen. Remember in school how the bully always picked fights? Well, I say that the incident is a silly thing to be making such a big deal about. As a Sox fan, I enjoyed the fact that A-Rod got what was coming to him. I think that he is a whiny spoiled little rich brat, like all the rest of the Yanks, but that’s just my personal opinion. That doesn’t mean I completely agree with what Tek did. Everyone loses their temper, I know, and Varitek, A-Rod, and the rest are only human. When you get caught in a fight like that, would you be thinking, “Gee, I really should think it would be more fair if i took my mask off,” because if you would, you must have been thinking about it for a while. No, that’s not what happened! A-Rod hit a nerve, and Tek responded! C’mon guys, give them a break…and don’t tell me, all you Sox fans out there, that you didn’t enjoy that just a little bit!

  10. so yea u think the mask is an advantage but did u ever think of that fact that Tek only had one free hand cuz he had his glove one? so u can say they both had a certain advantage n a-rod coulda hit Tek in the sides so he there is really no reason to call Tek a coward considerin they both had a leg up on the other

  14. Jason Varitek is NOT a coward and he never will be! He started the fight just to protect Arroyo. NEVER call Jason Varitek a coward! He is the man the red sox ALL look up to. So don’t call him a coward.

  15. Varitek is a big fucking pussy. He won’t even take Man-Ram aside and bitch him out for his recent actions.

    What a wannabe “captain”

  16. Jason Varitek is NOT a wannabe captain. And he is not a coward for keeping his mask on! It was actually something he probably didn’t even think about how his mask was on because half the game it’s on. And It was smart even if he did no it was on he wouldn’t get hurt!

  17. any yankees fan who thinks varitek is a coward needs to get they’re head outta their ass. varitek protected his pitcher and beat down pretty boy a-rod to the ground and im sure varitek could do it without legs

  18. jason varitek is my favorite player on the red sox, and although the brawl happened a long time ago, keeping his catcher’s mask on was smart (or at least, robert, it would be smart if the yankees did it, right?) anyway i have respect for yankee fans too, and brawls happen and people start them and Arod said shit and Varitek attacked him for it. ? I see no problem here.

    by the way it is red sox not red soxs and terry, not tito francona or whatever
