On Saturday, a rich 25-year-old man, Jovan Belcher, murdered his 22-year-old girlfriend, the mother of his child. First, columnist Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports suggested that this “25-year-old kid” wasn’t responsible for his actions – it was the “gun culture” that was to blame. Then, Bob Costas of NBC repeats this idiotic notion, even though the 6’2”, 228 lb. linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs could easily have murdered his girlfriend with a knife.
Now CNN is getting in on the act. Leading their website this afternoon is an op-ed from Kevin Powell, former Democratic Congressional candidate in New York, and cast member on MTV’s original season of “The Real World.” Powell’s contention: it’s America’s culture of manliness that led Belcher to blow away his girlfriend and then turn the gun on himself. That culture of manliness includes men hiding their emotion, machoness, and homophobia.

But if it really turns out this way, do the Cleveland Browns ever make a Super Bowl before the sport is abolished?
Real men don’t beat women. REAL men don’t have to prove they’re men. And REAL men aren’t afraid of REAL women.

Ban ALL competition...that is the answer. While you are at it, ban meritocracy and self-motivation.
Obama voters should not be allowed to own guns. They could care less about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so I don’t think that they’d have a problem with that. Besides, they all wet themselves when somebody shows them a picture of a gun.

Belcher a sociopath sounds like
CNN is actually getting close. Remove his position as head of family and watch the explosion. Pick your poison on the method.
Leftwingers in media excusing the cruel act of murder. Those Leftwings can go FOAD.
“That culture of manliness includes men hiding their emotion, machoness, and homophobia.”
That caused him to kill the mother of his child??
The idiot who said that is not a man - wonder what he is?
The only person or thng responsible for Jovan Belcher’s crimes but Jovan Belcher. End of story. He was a 25 year old adult.
We have become a pretty sick society when people are no longer responsible for their actions..its always someone elses fault..when people buy a house they can’t afford and it gets foreclosed, its not their fault for buying a house they can’t afford, nope, its the fault of the bank..or when someone drives drunk and kills someone, its not the fault of the driver, nope, its the fault of the alcohol or the car..its always someone elses fault..no one takes responsibility for anything anymore..its Obama’s America, where no one is to blame..well, no one except for Bush of course
Well being manly is not something the vast majority of news personalities have to worry about.
“adult” seems to have become a technicality these days
I seriously think that's the goal of limp-wrist nannystatism. And we seem to be well on our way.
I used to think France was the most effeminate culture on the globe. The USSA -- with Obama as our national Majorette -- seems determined to take this dubious *honor*.
Yeah, the “culture of manliness” includes siring a children out of wedlock./s
