Whatever happened to John Rocker?

The “bigot of the month” for the Atlanta Braves and other teams has dropped off the map the last few years, since he lost his forum as a national athlete.

Well he’s back.

According to an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “Rocker was ejected from the W Buckhead hotel’s grand opening late Thursday night after verbally assaulting local sports talker Steak Shapiro.”

“Basically, last night, John proved he was everything I’ve said he was over the years,” Shapiro said Friday. “I saw him staring me up and down. I told him, ‘John, let’s be civil here, that was all a long time ago.’ He told me, ‘It wasn’t that long ago, mother [expletive]. And right away, he pulled out the ‘Jew’ card.”

Here’s a recap about Rocker from Sports Illustrated in Dec. 1999.
