Josh Hamilton Drunk Photos
Josh Hamilton pictured drunk in an Arizona bar
In a really unfortunate turn of events, photos of Josh Hamilton have surfaced showing the Texas Rangers outfielder drunk and drinking heavily in an Arizona bar. The pictures were taken in a Tempe, Arizona bar last January and show Hamilton apparently having a pretty good time with a bunch of women, none of whom are his wife. The photos were leaked to the mega sports blog Deadspin. Josh Hamilton released this statement talking about the drunken incident:
“I’m embarrassed about it for my wife Katie, for my kids and for the organization,” Hamilton said. “I’m not perfect. It’s an ongoing struggle, and it’s real. It’s amazing how these things can creep back in. But I am human and I have struggles.”
“If I think I can have one drink, I think I can have two, and then it snowballs to 10 or 12,” Hamilton said. “As soon as it happened, I called my support staff — Katie, the organization and MLB — and told them what happened. I was open and honest about it. People with an addiction can make a mistake.”
Hamilton says falling off the wagon was an isolated incident, and that he told the Rangers GM and his wife about it the following day.

You know what!! It takes a real man to admit his faults and accept the consequences. No one is perfect so please leave Mr. Hamilton alone. He is a great good and most of all he is human. We all have and will make the wrong choices in life but we have to live up to the consequences and find a positive solution!!!

Josh Hamilton is neither a better or worse person than any other drug addict who falls off the wagon, and who is also probably committing adultery. He is, however, a public person who makes a lot of money playing baseball, so his actions are magnified by that fact. While it's a good thing that he immediately told his support people and wife, I notice that he didn't go the full route, and tell the public too.
He should have. Instead, he stayed quiet about until it came to light.

Not sure why bryant has to bring race into this one. It’s irrelevant.

This is what’s wrong with us. Boobs and ads have been synonymous forever. But there is no creativity here … just a sexist romp. Hope you’re selling products for teenage boys because they are the only ones who don’t see what you’re doing.

I was reacting to a side ad, not the hamilton article. My opinion on that? Trends bother me. How many nights of these pictures do you have? Then we’ll talk.
