Rocker says it and is shunned by the media and all of baseball; but if Bonds says the same thing it's perfectly acceptable and there is no media outcry.
Bonds is an unlikeable guy and he brings it all on himself. People don't dislike him because he is black; they dislike him because he comes off as being stuck-up and above everyone else.
Bonds is a great ballplayer, and he alone sells out Giants' games, but he is also a player that has a lot of enemies due to his actions and comments.
Before Bonds claims Boston is too racist a place for him to play, he may want to actually visit it on vacation first. At least then he won't come off as being completely ignorant.
