Ye. We care. It's worthy of discussion. It's part of our culture that we are witnessing go right down the crapper and ignoring it accomplishes nothing. I could, however, easily do without the frequent cookie cutter comments like yours.
Michael Smith is another Boston area liberal writer who happened to cover the sports beat for the Globe. From there he moved to ESPN and has been steadily promoted from the website to on-air to anchor spots. The guy has no background as an athlete so far as I know. Neither does Jemelle Hill.
They say “Politics is downstream from Culture”. I think that is true. The Democrats have invested in the popular culture by building public figures into icons who in-turn spout the liberal line. It’s a self-reinforcing circle-jerk. But bathing innocent Americans in a steady diet of this stuff gets them to respond (vote) for all manner of liberal ideas becasue they don’t have time to think it through. It just ‘seems right’ because the saw a guy on ESPN get emotionally outraged by something — and they sort of like that guy.
