Dear Ryan Braun...

I defended you. When the accusations poured in, I said I would wait for the courts to decide. When they decided in your favour and believed your story, I thought things would be alright. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

You lied to them, your fans, your critics, the Milwaukee Brewers, the baseball world, and to me. Your sentence should begin at the start of the 2014 season, when the punishment will be a chorus of boos that follow you wherever you go.

May God have mercy on your soul.
