I´ve just finished reading the article and this thread, my first response was directed ather low holocaust-comment, I saw others already mentioned the accomplishments of the Boston Celtics.
Not surprised, (knowing her) ... but discouraged ... she should be ashamed of writing this crap for the sole purpose of stirring up the race pot and inciting hatred and intolerance. Somehow I don't think our forefathers had this kind of garbage in mind when they wrote the Bill of Rights and the intents of Freedom of Speech. Leave it to such self-serving hate-mongers to twist the written and spoken word to fit their warped needs and spew their venom for the sake of controversy and selling copy. Sad ... really sad.
"...inciting hatred and intolerance..."
"...hate-mongers..."
"...spew venom..."
You're being a bit dramatic with this aren't you? You can't possibly read that article and get that from it.
FG/.
C´mon, that´s exactly her intention.
You may be smart enough to overlook the venom she is spewing, but I can assure you, others are not. Kids are not. All that kids and dumb non-celtic fans will get from this is that Boston has always been a racist city and that it´s bad to root for the Celtics, just as bad as killing 6 million jews because of their origin and religion...
...and kids and people who don´t reflect what they´re reading are exactly her target audience at ESPN.
Offensive. Comparing liking the Celtics to cheering for Hitler is offensive. It diminishes all the atrocities the Nazis commited when you compare their leader to a sports team. She needs to publicly fired.
Exactly
