Tagliabue and the rest of the NFL are the only ones saying the right things in their apology that this won't happen again, they are outraged and angry over what happened, etc. I believe their story that they didn't know in advance, and if they had, it would have been stopped.
CBS and MTV are just lying to us now that the heat is on.
Regarding Kid Rock's wearing of the flag: I'm not so certain that was meant to be disrespectful, and I don't take it as such. Certainly, if he was wearing a Nazi or hammer and sicle flag, no one would be applauding him for desecrating the evil that it represented. Indeed, many would question why he was out promoting those philosophies by wrapping himself in their flag. Since 9/11, most athletic uniforms added US flags. He literally wrapped himself in the flag, he didn't wipe one of his body orifrices with it.
I've never seen anyone wear the colors that represent an institution with the purpose of insulting that institution. It's always meant as a compliment.
Remember Simon & Schuster who paid Hillary $8 million for her book & CBS did that lovely hatchet job on President Reagan with Mr. Streisand. |
It all makes sense. |
