Following serious threats made towards Red Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks, manager Alex Cora expressed empathy and support for his player. Hendriks condemned the harassment he received after a recent game, highlighting the emotional toll on athletes facing such hostility. Cora acknowledged that the public exposure of players leads to unwarranted comments, stressing the need for emotional protection and voicing out against threats. Both men shared personal experiences with social media scrutiny, emphasizing players' vulnerability in the modern sports environment and their shared obligation to safeguard their teammates.
Threats against my life and my wife's life are horrible and cruel. ... I think I speak for all players who have had to deal with this in their career when I say enough is enough.
We're in the public eye and people feel they have the right to say whatever they want. Sometimes, it comes from real people. Other times, it comes from burner accounts ... fake people.
I understand what he's trying to accomplish. We have to protect our players and we have to voice what we think.
If it's up to me, I'll bring my daughter here and go through every account and filter it.
