JOHN
ROCKER
John
Rocker is the definition, in some
people's minds, of the spoiled
sports star who not only thinks
of himself as above the law, but
above his fellow man. He was
always a firebrand on the field
as a pitcher for the Atlanta
Braves, often shouting insults
right back to the crowds that
dispensed them to him.
After a high profile set of
interviews and half-hearted
retractions, Rocker was painted
as a bigot and a racist.
Will showed up as Rocker during a
Weekend Update and played him to
the hilt as a ma who hated
everyone, but always in a very
confused and ignorant way.
An easy example of this is when
he completely botched a racial
slur aimed at WU host Colin
Quinn, by calling him a
derogatory term reserved for
people of Asian descent. (No, I
won't repeat it here...go to the
SOUNDS page if you're
interested.)
By the
end of his visit, Rocker had to
be dragged away by cops as he
cried and pleaded like a
child...with a very foul
mouth.
