I don’t think Odor should be fined or suspended.
No one should be punished just because they landed the best punch in a brawl.
But, since he will be fined people are willing to chip in.
Three GoFundMes are posted to pay Rougned Odor's fine. https://t.co/qbQEs6rlGn

Some of these descriptions are quite compelling.
Rougned Odor, starting 2nd baseman for the Texas Rangers, is going to be facing a fine for punching Jose Bautista during the Sunday, May 15th 2016 home game at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
The punch was the culmination of bad feelings that have been brewing since the 2015 ALDS when Bautista was accused of showboating when he hit a homerun and then “flipped” his bat. Rangers and Ranger fans alike have been upset since, with much talk going back and forth between the clubs in the months since.
Odor, who was the victim of a vicious hard slide into 2nd base by Bautista in the 8th inning of today’s game, stood up for himself, the organization, and all Rangers fans when he knocked the crap out of Bautista. It was a glorious moment that should be applauded by all Ranger fans, and in appreciation of his actions, I believe we should show him how much we care.
Will you give some of your hard earned money for Odor’s fine?
