It is nice to see something positive, but now its overblown by the media and people are going to expect him to show up for these kinds of things, let the man just go when he wants. Not a knock on Brandon or his decision to go at all, but the media glorifying it makes it seem expected. Well played good sir.  |
I don't have a problem with them glorifying it. Much better than the media hounding athletes and trying to find something negative about them off the field. But I see your point. He didn't do it for the notoriety, but I do believe he did it b/c he's the ambassador for the Reds in Cincy (not to mention he said he didn't have anything else better to do and thought he'd go put some smiles on fan's faces).
