Jeff Wilpon running the Mets was an absolute nightmare. He was an embarrassment to the franchise and the entire sport. Despite that, many remained silent.

There was silence when injured players were forced to play. The same when pregnant women and veterans were fired. Good people had their names tarnished, and cancer patients stood there accepting blame for actions not of their own as they were pretending the forced stepping aside wasn’t a firing.

That says nothing of the inept way the franchise was run, hiring former agent golfing buddies over well qualified front office executives, purging top prospects for insanely poor returns, and inserting themselves into every decision. Again, this was met with silence.

However, now, Steve Cohen is in charge. Already, the Mets are being run much more competently, and the Mets are being viewed in a way they haven’t since the mid-80s. With that, people have now finally found their spines and are now attacking the Mets.

What's most embarrassing: getting caught in an insider trading scheme and spending $1.2 billion to buy your way out of a lifetime SEC ban, being credibly accused of racketeering by your ex-wife, or not knowing how to thread tweets/do a twitter poll/punctuate a sentence? pic.twitter.com/mO8xpWD3g0

If you sat out the Wilpon years, don’t start now. You don’t get to overlook the horrible things they did only to now attack the new Mets ownership. In doing that, you further lack credibility and really are just embarrassing yourselves.

If you opted to stay silent when you should’ve spoken up, stay silent.
