Dayton Moore Sez: NO PORN for you!!!

[gblowfish]

That's weird. Alex Gordon has been jacking off for the entire season...

Yesterday, following the news breaking of Danny Duffy‘s DUI arrest, Royals general manager Dayton Moore met the press. That was not surprising, obviously, as teams will always issue statements and speak out following such incidents. Also not surprising: Moore saying that the Royals talk to their players about the risks of drugs and alcohol, which all responsible organizations do.

He expanded on the level of outreach the Royals make with respect to players and “the ills of society,” to use Moore’s words. And at one point he went into an area I don’t believe anyone expected he might go:

“(We’re) very transparent about things that happen in our game, not only with drugs and alcohol. We talk about pornography, and the effects of what that does to the minds of players and the distractions, and how that leads to abuse of — domestic abuse — to abuse of women. How it impacts relationships — we talk about a lot of things. And I don’t mind sharing with you.”

I read that last night and was frankly surprised that a team prioritizes such a thing. To be sure, I don’t have a strong opinion on it. I just wonder whether it’s the best use of the club’s time given how unclear that subject happens to be, even among experts.

On the one hand, it’s laudable that Moore is concerned about domestic abuse and abuse of women. On the other hand, the studies regarding the link between pornography and such violence are a hot mess, lacking any sort of consensus. The entire area of study is laden with bias and counter-bias and confirmation bias and confusing meta-analysis and morality and politics from both the left and the right, making it extraordinarily hard to come up with even basic conclusions on the matter. As such, I don’t know how an employer like the Royals could talk to its employees about the porn-violence connection in any effective and actionable way.

Porn is the methadone of sex.

[Rain Man]

If baseball was more interesting to watch, maybe people wouldn't watch so much porn.

[KCrockaholic]

He really tells the players that watching porn leads to domestic abuse?

[ChiefsCountry]

There is more kinds of domestic abuse than just the Tyreek Hill style.

[Prison Bitch]

Porn doesn't make me abuse women.

Political candidates do.

[gblowfish]

Cleveland certainly gave the whole team a facial last weekend...

[MVChiefFan]

This is why no one is going to re-sign.

[sully1983]

nah porn is pretty great . I esp love the Japanese porn. Some of it can be really funny too .

[Nickel D]

Dayton strongly encourages the players to avoid porn but, if they do view it, to always use a designated masterbator.

[Marcellus]

As if it weren't hard enough for the Royals to sign free agents before this became common knowledge.

From TMZ Sports:

Kendra Lust has a huge bone to pick with K.C. Royals G.M. Dayton Moore -- claiming the baseball honcho is dead wrong about linking porn to domestic violence.

Lust -- AVN's reigning "MILF Performer of the Year" award winner -- came out swinging hard against Moore ... claiming she's sick of people blaming adult videos for their problems without a shred of evidence.

"In all honesty, I think that porn helps keep people's relationships healthy," Lust says.

"It helps keep [people] safe from maybe going out and being unfaithful to their spouse ... it helped my life a lot."

Lust slams Moore's insinuation that porn is dangerous like booze and drugs as a "cop out" -- and says he needs to support it ... instead of demonizing it.

Oh I bet it did!

She has a BA in nursing and worked 7 years as a nurse. Can you imagine that coming in to give you a sponge bath?

There are different kinds of porn.

There is rape porn and humiliation porn and sacrilege porn and Ivanka and Melania getting plowed by 6 Vince Wilforks. I would be concerned to know that somebody who has to be dependable is starting to go down some roads.

Baseball players are also better off if they have a good relationship with their wife or girlfriend. Really naive to say that all wives and girlfriends would have the same opinion about porn as would a porn star who does it for a living.

If momma ain't happy, ballplayer is more likely to slump.

Good thing nbcsports and TMZ and Miss Pornstar of the Year will get some ballplayers to openly speak about how much porn they consume and how much it helps them in all these neato kind of ways.

Which ballplayers have spoken up about it?
