"it might suggest that he could not possibly give a shit"
It's hard to know exactly what A-Rod thinks, but doesn't give a shit what people think doesn't exactly jibe with my impression of him.

gabb, it's fairly well known by anyone who watches baseball that a-rod worries a lot over his public image and what people think of him

that's why he hung out with madonna while married and said he basically didn't give a shit what people think?

"u get a lot of things wrong tho, rite?"
Sure. Doesn't everyone? And I could be wrong about this too. Maybe dude doesn't care at all. But for someone who seems to affect an air of "why they hate me" this just seems like providing more ammo to be hated about.

maybe he is just clueless beyond words. has that occurred to anyone?

For the last WBC, didn't A-Rod make a huge public display out of his decision about who to play for, snowballing it into a "Sophie's Choice" type of scenario in order to satisfy his ego? As if he needed to look deep within himself and canvas the people in order to find where his true loyalties lay?
Yeah, so I'd say he gives a shit what people think of him.

maybe he realizes that dominican baseball players have the most fun of anyone in the world and decided that he'd rather play with vlad and ortiz instead of joe mauer and dustin pedroia

Henderson said he would love to play in the World Baseball Classic for Team USA. If Bernie Williams can come back, why not Rickey?"What is (the WBC), wrestling?" Rickey said when asked if he would like to play in the WBC. Told it was the World Baseball Classic and games will be played in March, Rickey said, "Can I get in?"

"I'd love to have [Granderson's] speed at the top of the lineup," Johnson said, "but I've got a guy named Jimmy Rollins who's pretty good in that spot."
The worst on-base hitter on the roster -- very smart.
