Dave Roberts Grateful for Evolving Sports Culture After Attending Daughter’s Graduation
Los Angeles Dodgers manager spoke about a positive shift in sports culture after attending his daughter's college graduation on Sunday. The post Dave Roberts Grateful for Evolving Sports Culture After Attending Daughter’s Graduation appeared first on LA Sports Report.
Manager Dave Roberts missed the Los Angeles Dodgers’ series finale against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday to attend his daughter’s graduation at Stanford. In the past, this decision would have been looked down upon, especially because the Dodgers lost 4-6 and dropped the series against the White Sox on Sunday. But Roberts explained how sports culture has evolved to allow him to prioritize important events with his family without judgment.
“I think that’s one of the good things about the way the world has evolved, to where you do some things for mental health or your family, and it’s not frowned upon that you care less about your job,” Roberts said, per the California Post. “That should be applicable to everyone. It’s good to feel like I can go, and I don’t feel like I’m being judged because I’m going to celebrate my daughter.”
