As a longtime fan, I've never wanted to forgive Alex Rodriguez for leaving the Seattle Mariners. After hearing him speak on Seattle Sports 710 on Tuesday, the healing has started for me, and I bet it has for others as well.
I know that sports is a business. At 34 years old, I don't begrudge players for leaving teams, and I don't begrudge them for going certain places for certain reasons, including money.
Let me be perfectly clear on this, as well. When it comes to how Alex Rodriguez left the Seattle Mariners, I've never gotten over it. All the things I know at 34, I don't see with A-Rod. I still see him, or at least have seen him, like the guy he was when I was 12. See, I'm not necessarily mad at A-Rod for leaving. I'd seen Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. leave already. I was used to players leaving the Mariners. It's not that that hurt me as a young fan, it's that Alex Rodriguez is the reason I learned that sports was a business.
