content removeal

i think anything that is mentioned in an newsarticle and seems relevant to multiple editors should remain, especially nsince it has plenty to do with the controversy that he's been listed as as the #3 and #1 guy wed fuck anyway by a cosmo or vogue type mazazene, his reported penis size qualifies as trivia and is an interesting quote that adds to many interesting and even funny quotes from this guy and about him, i feel they make the article more fascinating.im sure it could use a rewrite or the manhood size can be moved to a trivia type section. check out the link. it is referanced, this is not libel or unsubstantiated rumor.^{T ALK}•^QR_C2006•¢ʘñ†®¡ß§ 01:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It was removed not because of the inaccuracy of the information, but simply because you are an asshat. Get your biased commentary out of this article. Just because you hate Rocker, doesn't mean we all do. --99.250.141.132 (talk) 20:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Contradictory article

The infobox says he was born in Statesboro, yet the text says he is a native of Macon - which is right? DuncanHill (talk) 20:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Language

There was language in his quote that's not included. He used fuck quite a bit in it, but I don't see fuck anywhere in the quote. Please put the fucks back in, as he repeated fuck quite a bit. Like every other word was fuck or fucking, so please add fuck back. thank you manys

Wasn't in the movie

The article says that Rocker is slated to appear in Trouble with the Curve but he does not appear in the cast list for the movie. Anybody have a problem if I take that sentence out? Revanneosl (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

controversy section

While the Controversial statements section is good for the most part, there's one aspect that shouldn't be there. Currently the last paragraph reads:

In January 2013, Rocker wrote in the conservative website WorldNetDaily that the Holocaust could have been prevented if there weren't gun control laws in Germany at the time:

“ Absolute certainties are a rare thing in this life, but one I think can be collectively agreed upon is the undeniable fact that the Holocaust would have never taken place had the Jewish citizenry of Hitler's Germany had the right to bear arms and defended themselves with those arms. ”

I don't see how that's controversial, since many people agree with his view as expressed in that particular statement. Maybe it still belongs in the article but not under Controversy or Controversial statements. --96.32.138.125 (talk) 02:33, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

You may not see it as controversial, but it is indeed is incredibly controversial. Read the article it comes from. People are outraged about it.Donmike10 (talk) 19:44, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

References

Something new to add is he is now making incredibly racist tirades against NYC Mayor Mamdani and the city for electing him. LamontCranston (talk) 22:42, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Timeline discrepancy

The article states he was part of the 1993 draft, and joined the Braves MLB team the following year. Yet he didn't debut with them until 1998. If someone with more information could fix, please do.--Chimino (talk) 23:47, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
