Prince Fielder: Vegetarian

[valpocrewsader]

I love Prince, but he's been a veggie for how long? Two weeks? That's like me drinking too much on Saturday night and having a front page article on Monday that "SoCal Brew Crew Fan permanently gives up alcohol". I can't buy it yet.

 

Bingo. Fad. I'm disappointed by the big guy, but to each his own....

[TooLiveBrew]

What reason do you have to be disappointed?

 

 

That comment was directed more at Prince's reasons for not eating meat, not singling out anyone here. I just found it ironic that a thread would reach 4 pages when a player chooses to go vegetarian. It just shows how badly we need the season to start so we can talk some substance

 

Gotcha - sorry! Btw, I especially agree with the boldfaced part. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

i don't care if prince is a vegetarian or not, i still like his music even after he changed his name to #$@# or whatever that was.

Just, I prefer my baseball heroes not have the same eccentric dietary practices and weak-stomached attitudes as Lisa Simpson. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I can sleep at night, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.... (no pun intended) It's like finding out Mr. T wears women's shoes or something. Que sera sera.

I love meat. Meat, meat, meat. Here it goes down, down into my belly...

[hawing]

Adam McCalvy's take on this includes the following:

 

Since news of Fielder's dietary change first appeared, fans began to suggest on Internet message boards that the Brewers should jump on the bandwagon. The team should offer a veggie sausage, they said, for those who are not into bratwurst and hot dogs.

 

(waving at Adam, in case he's still checking out this thread)

Please note board language guidelines and preview your post when it's possible that you might be tangling with the cuss filter.

[iluvlamp]

Casey. Unless you saw different, he was just posting random signs because that's what Prince did. Was he tangling?

[ozzybourne]

i dont have the symbol he changed his name to on my keyboard. that was purely a creative gesture and in no way meant to be a profanity casey.

[ozzybourne]

thanks QOTSA--us rockers have to stick together.

This is what I never understand...dudes that think they're more of "a man" because they eat hamburger or whatever. I know this was said tongue-in-cheek, but it reminds me of that attitude.

 

And I'm pretty sure they had veggie sausage at MP already, over by Gorman's Grill...but only there. I remember what a pain it was walking all the way over to that corner when my wife wanted one. I guess McCalvy eats the spread in the pressbox though.

[1992casey]

Either way, I didn't record a strike. Do try to avoid the random character thing, though.

Pat Tillman had long hair and had more character than 99% of the players in the NFL. I'm not sure what anyone's hairstyle has to do with the content of their character.

Nope. I'm more of "a man" because I eat venison, duck, pheasant and wild turkey.

 

Sometimes I think I live in a different world than most of you.

 

To each his own I guess. Just keep your hands off my meat. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

The fact that you buy into the myth that Real Men! must eat meat says much more about you than anything Fielder has done.

 

[endaround]

If Prince growing dreads makes him into Ordonez, is that ok?

[homer]

"Nope. I'm more of "a man" because I eat venison, duck, pheasant and wild turkey."

 

 

I didn't realize manhood was measured by the foods you eat.

Well you know the saying, "You are what you Eat".......there you go....now Prince is Rabbit food.....lol

[DrWood]

So, what is the first item that Prince will endorse?

"Hi, I'm professional baseball player Prince Fielder, and I endorse the nutty goodness of wonder-grain quinoa, the only vegetable to produce perfect protein. {fade to tapemeasure HR shot} And I need plenty of protein to power this body {Prince flexes his biceps}.

[Team Canada]

Let's not have this devolve into a Tim Allen-grunting, "I'm a man cuz I eat meat" sort of discussion. Neither true nor appropriate.

[trwi7]

I'm a man because I'm 40.

[mothershipconnection]

I'm a man because I have chest hair, which my grandfather told me comes from eating vegetables and other things I didn't want to eat as a kid.

Long hair isn't the same as dreads

We live on Earth, it's pretty nice here, send us a postcard sometime http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't want to speak for the whole board, but I think we can collectively avoid doing this.

I'm a man, because I push all my emotions to the dark ball in my stomach. Oh, and I would rather run out of gas in Utah than ask someone where I am going.
