Former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker is raking New York City over the coals once again, this time about the likelihood that socialist Zohran Mamdani could be the next mayor of the Big Apple.
Rocker took to his X account on Tuesday to blast the City that Never Sleeps for its “rapid decline into a third world country.”
“25 years ago, I criticized New York for its rapid decline into a third-world country,” he wrote. “I was forced to undergo Psychological Counseling, as if I were the crazy one. 25 years later, the city is voting in a muslim socialist for mayor.”
“FUCK NEW YORK,” he loudly concluded.
Rocker had slammed New York City the day before, too, by agreeing with conservative commentator Matt Walsh that a huge percentage of New Yorkers can’t speak English and that the city is “not an American city anymore.”
Rocker has had a hate-hate relationship with New York City since the 1990s, when he got himself in trouble with Major League Baseball for an anti-NYC rant during the height of the Mets-Braves rivalry. This rant arguably led to the end of his baseball career.
What does speaking English have to do with New York being an American city? English isn’t the native tongue, its the colonized tongue.
To be completely fair, if there were entire parts of Mexico City where there was little Spanish being spoken because of American remote workers living there… Wouldn’t the Mexicans have a right to complain about this even though, obviously, Spanish is another colonizer language…?
Spanish isn’t the native language. Not sure how that applies at all.
