What did he do? Insult some people? People do that all the time but they don’t get fired for it. They probably made a big deal out of it because it was a slow news day. No new popes being sworn in, Brittney’s laying low, and it’s not election time.
They say sex and violence sell but they need to add a category. Racism. We love racism. We feed off it. (for the record, I prefer sex) Guys like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (what a joke) would shrivel up and die if there were no racism. Without it they wouldn’t get the chance to appear on TV and act so self righteous. I think that’s why this was hyped up.
But I don’t think it was a racist comment. And what’s this all over anyway? Basketball? Please. Who cares? When you can jump a 30 foot set of doubles or ride 26 mph for 156 miles then we’ll talk.
