Damian Jackson Does Not Respect Grady Little's Decision

I suppose anger is understandable any time a person gets fired from his or her job, but what makes this interesting is you usually don't hear from baseball players immediately after they've lost their jobs.

Not so with Damian Jackson, whom the Dodgers released today and whom was confronted by reporters right after getting the axe:

Jackson signed as a free agent in December and was entering his 17th season in professional baseball -- his 11th in the majors after spending time with eight teams.

"I no longer have anything to do with baseball," an angry Jackson said before clearing out his locker, furiously shoving equipment and clothes into his duffel bag and knocking down two chairs on his way out.

...

"He respects our decision, and that's it," manager Grady Little said.

Ahem, Grady. No, he does not. He does not respect your decision at all. As a matter of fact, his opinion of your decision probably ranges more toward the "disrespect" side than it does the "respect" side.

Of course, this makes Damian Jackson the 14,689,567th person to question Grady Little's decision making abilities. Welcome to the world's largest club, Damian!
