J.T. Snow, a former Giants player, stirred controversy with a critical social media post regarding Seattle outfielder Victor Robles' injury during a game. After an impressive catch, Robles was injured, prompting an extended pause for medical attention. Snow interpreted this as a deliberate delay ('icing'), leading to a backlash from fans and the media. He later deleted the post and apologized, acknowledging he misjudged the situation. The incident highlights the impact of impulsive online commentary, especially surrounding sensitive topics such as player welfare.
"I completely apologize for my comments I made during the game regarding Victor Robles. I did not see the play fully and misjudged the situation entirely."
"The pause didn't feel inordinately long given the seeming severity of the injury. It was understandable that medical personnel rushed to attend to Robles due to the circumstances."
