Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports wrote a good article about Tony La Russa and Colin Kaepernick. This is what threatened people do. They dig in to their positions and they attack. They do not sit back and think about what they're saying, what they're fighting for or against. It will never occur to La Russa that he might be wrong. I know next to nothing about him as a person, but I don't need to. I've seen it over and over and over again. He'll just keep fighting.
It's really an emotional issue, because he can't look inside because that would be admitting he might be wrong. And admitting that would tear him apart. Don't be one of those people. Look inside. It won't really tear you apart. If you're wrong, like La Russa, handle the emotions that being wrong causes, admit you're wrong, and just move on. It makes you stronger, not weaker. Weak is being too scared to admit your mistakes. Weak is attacking someone else because you feel vulnerable. Weak is Tony La Russa.
