I’ve never understood how walking away never seems to be an option for some people.

Especially men.

I dunno how far away the front door was from the spot he beat her, but it couldn’t have been miles away but I bet Shapiro is SUPER thankful Ozuna turned down his offer two years ago.

You can’t trust a dude who’s willing to beat his wife in front of cops to never beat his wife again.  Sorry.

Marcel Ozuna is shit, too.  He’s bating.213 with 7 homers and 21 RBI so the Cardinals can feel good about rinsing him after this mess.  There’s no way he’ll be welcome in the clubhouse again either.

Domingo German had to beg the New York Yankees to allow him back into the clubhouse after his 60-day domestic violence sentence.

Roberto Osuna is playing ball in the Mexican league because the Astros clubhouse hates his fucking guts.

Ozuna will never play pro ball in North America again.

All because he wouldn’t walk away.
