Recently, a story came across my Facebook timeline that said when he was an active player and made a road trip to Boston, Dennis Rodman would buy out a Toys-R-Us and deliver it to Children’s Hospital. Rodman, who certainly had multiple issues, did this without any fanfare. This is my preferred way for millionaires and billionaires to act. Spend your money, have a good time but don’t forget there are people who need help. And help them without making it all about you.
And that’s where it seems Steve Cohen rubs me the wrong way. He seems to have a knack to make it all about him. Frequent commenter Chris F has a saying he likes to use – The name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. Sure, Cohen owns the Mets and one could make the argument that Cohen and the Mets are essentially interchangeable. Still, his tweets and quotes give off a chest-thumping vibe that makes me uneasy.
