When it comes to outrage, there is plenty of it to go around, and the pundits are more than willing to give it out. The pundits I speak of are of course upset because their good name has been covered in mud and all good sense has been ignored. The following is from an article by Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports commenting on the recent Pacers-Pistons-Fan brawl.
“When you take a long, emotionless look at it – which is what first David Stern and later a Michigan court surely will do – the fault for the wildness that erupted at the end of the Indiana Pacers' victory at the Detroit Pistons on Friday will land at the feet of one guy, Ron Artest.
The Indiana forward made a serious and intolerable (no matter how understandable) mistake when his reaction to getting hit with a cup of beer was to hunt down the perpetrator.”
*note the guy Artest slugged was not the original beer slinger. Ironic isn’t it?
It's amazing how the sports broadcasters have been thoroughly disgraced by a brawl but the rest of the media has not at all been disgraced by a war based on trumped up intelligence and oedipal complexes. Are they not disgraced that WE are Ron Artest charging into Iraq at the expense of thousands of lives rather than a few black eyes? This is the kind of outrage we should be seeing from the general media.
