After actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, Twitter was immediately filled with varying opinions, including one from Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman. Marcus Stroman voiced his support for Will Smith's actions, feeling the nature of Rock's jokes substantiated Smith's behavior. Many of Marcus Stroman's Twitter followers responded with various levels of agreement and disagreement. Some felt as though Will Smith was justified in slapping Chris Rock, because he was standing up for his wife who has struggled with alopecia recently and felt the comedian was making light of her condition. Many on the other side argued that violence is never the answer, and if Will Smith has an issue with the jokes being made, there are better ways to handle the situation.Below is the tweet in its entirety from Chicago Cubs star pitcher Marcus Stroman.Marcus Stroman@STR0So much respect for Will Smith.

A rare lapse in judgement. Eventually, he'll be ok, but he's better than that. A man may know how to fight, but it takes a strong man to know when not to fight.7:27 AM · Mar 28, 202210@STR0 Smith is supposed to be the best of us, the standard for all others to follow.

The All-Star pitcher will have to face off against a tough division in the National League Central. After finishing a disappointing fourth in the division in 2021, Marcus Stroman could be a key piece of the Chicago Cubs bounceback.The Chicago Cubs kick off their 2022 campaign on Opening Day against the Milwaukee Brewers, where they hope to start the season off with a win. Hopefully Marcus Stroman will have another stellar season as is expected of him and can lead the Cubs into the postseason in 2022.
