The sports talk crowd became born again.
One day they celebrate Ray Lewis and Ray Rice. The next day they try to outdo each other with outrage of Roger Goodell.
Black men behaving badly, so we should fire the white guy.
If I was making $40+ million a year! I wouldn’t go down easily. Goodall will probably fight this tooth and nail.
I find it impossible to cheer the selective outrage of the ESPN wing of the Ministry of Truth even if everyone involved in this fiasco is human garbage and deserves it.
Because they are every bit as much human garbage.
Yep it’s really crazy. Meanwhile no one focuses on the female NJ prosecutor and the judge who let Ray Rice off Scot Free.
Goodell went down on both knees and apologized repeatedly at his news conference, and the sport talk guys in my town go on about it being a “disaster” and he must resign.
I think the libs want to raid the NFL’s money and then destroy the sport. I frankly do not see what the NFL has to do with Ray Rice punching his wife on an elevator.
I am not a Ravens or Ray Rice Fan but I have a few politically inconvenient points:
1. I don’t see how this incident was an example of “domestic abuse”. Drunken fight on elevator, wife spits on husband, comes at him, athlete husband (excessively) delivers one quick punch which knocks her out.
Is that the new “domestic abuse”? Far as I know DA was always some angry husband beating up on his wife on a regular basis. Not one quick fight.
2. The video should only have helped Ray Rice. We already knew he knocked her out. The video shows her come at him, he delivers a single quick reflexive punch. Might well have been illegal, but we knew that already. he did not attack or beat on her.
3. The real “villain” here after Ray Rice is the prosecutor who quickly let him off the hook.
4. They quickly buried the wife’s anguished plea that her life is being destroyed by firing him from a lucrative career.
5. Who ever said it is good to fire “domestic abusers” so that their family suffers financially, and they are left at home with time on their hands?
Sadly, the sports media is still the media. The are irredeemably leftist including that burbling clown Chris "Boomer" Berman on ESPN. They all would like to cross over to hard news and are trying desperately to draw attention to themselves with this non-issue.
Sure, I watch some sports, but won't watch Sportscenter or any other sport news as I have many better things to do.
This is all about the election in November. The democrats are going all in on the “war on women” meme.
But it is a textbook operation. If some of us here could coordinate a campaign like this, Joe Biden would already be president (assuming that's a good thing).
Once in bed with the ideologues of the left where is there to go but down? -

No pity from me for Roger.
