Oh please, it's not that shallow.    He was a foe.    Political asylum for an opponent is difficult.

a foe? he played for the marlins for 1 year

a foe? he played for the marlins for 1 year

...   and the Cubs among others.     Did we find Stalin unappealing because of his Soviet style Army lid?     Did we define Castro a foe because of his fatigue hat and the way he wore it?     Did Amin's faux British officer Army cover make him a scourge?     Was it Caesar's wreath adornment that caused dislike by my people milleniums ago?     No, it was principle.     They played on teams that brought distress to our team.      Would we have given them asylum?    “No”

Thus, our feelings about Rodney.     It's not the the way the hat sits askew or his mimicing the shooting of an arrow when he closes a game out.    He has caused our team and our fans distress.     This is the reason I question giving him asylum.     It's principle sir.
