Haven't ya'll learned anything? It is always Bush's fault.

Do you think Costas went on the air to blame the knife when Nicole Simpson was murdered?

The actual real root cause behind these and other dispicable crimes committed by Football players is the "thug" culture, and those who enable it.

Here is a part of the twitter by Bob Owens yesterday to the original writer of the article blaming Belcher's gun, Jason Whitlock: 

"Far more corrosive and to blame for the epidemic of athlete violence than the firearms tens of millions of Americans don’t use for violence every day is the permissive culture that allows violent athletes second, third and fourth chances because of their celebrity status. The number one contributor to that culture of excessive tolerance: sports writers. Even yesterday, Costas and Whitlock excused the murder committed by Belcher by blaming it on the gun.

I took to Twitter to voice my displeasure with Whitlock yesterday. I was… testy.

I went on to note that the only professional athletes that you never hear throwing tantrums are professional shooters, but you get the point. Thugs are accepted in professional athletics because they make money for the coaches, the general managers and the owners, and the sports media glosses over this criminal behavior instead of calling for these criminal athletes to be thrown out of the game.

Whitlock’s response to my criticism? Dead silence. Incapable of rebuttal, he blocked me. Like the spoiled athletes they cover, sports journalists are thin-skinned prima donnas unable to accept or deal with valid criticism.

Sadly, it’s going to take a popular outcry against “journalists” such as these and the entities they represent by boycotting their advertisers to make a difference. Whitlock and Costas must be removed from their positions as enablers and blameshifters protecting a thug culture in professional sports.

Our world is worse off because of violent thugs like Javon Belcher, and until we get rid of men like Jason Whitlock and Bob Costas who are apologists for such behavior, we can expect the violent, thuggish behavior of professional athletes to continue. How many more innocents must die until the media enablers of this violent sports culture are driven out of business?

Where does this come from?   Nobody apologized for any bad behavior.  This is just an NRA smear.

Wow. This proves it. She has no clue what being an apologist means. It isn't literal, dumb-dumb.
