Controversy Corner

For a couple of days now, I've planned on writing an article about the two big "controversies" this week in sports - Sheryl Swoopes coming out of the closet and Air Force football coach Fisher DeBerry having to apologize for making comments about black athletes. I just never found the time to actually convert my thoughts to pixels on a screen. Someone needs to get that that thoughts-to-blog technology moving along. Chop, chop!

Aaaaaanyway ... imagine my surprise when blog funny man Chris Chase tackled those very subjects (and one extra one for good measure) using almost the exact same arguments I was going to make. So read Chris' article and pretend I wrote it. Actually, while you're pretending that, go ahead and make it a bit funnier.

The Cliff's Notes versions for those that don't want to click-n-read - Swoopes is gay - not a big deal. Good for her.

DeBerry comments - not offensive at all. He merely pointed out a couple of facts that every single person in the world could (and probably does) recognize. How is that controversial? Are we really to a point where a white man in the public eye can't even say anything about race? Is that what we want as a society?
