I’m sure the 3 people working at ESPN who believe in Jesus were mildly offended as well.
In vino veritas, Dana.
cursing like a sailor?
Just exactly why is it always the f*^$ing Sailors that are the only mommy f*#@*$ that swear? How about she cussed like a Coastie
Wow what a refreshingly blunt reply. Sounds to me like she’s on thin ice.
“as far as I can determine, there has been no video confirming the specifics of what she said”
So the reports of her statements are false? Does she deny them? If they are inaccurate, why apologize?
And why apologize to people of ALL faiths (including muslims, satanists, scientologists, hindus, etc) when it was a direct attack at Jesus Christ?
How about she ranted like a media elite?
Well! Being a former Marine I can assure you cursing was never practiced.
“How about she cussed like a Coastie”
Cause Golly Gee just doesn’t carry the same impact.
Well, at least she didn’t cuss like a Marine..........She’d a been fired fer shure......
damn mudducks....
Oh fiddlesticks, now you gone and done it.
We live in a country that only allows the blasphemy of Jesus Christ and take it from me we will pay soon.
It’s very probable that if she was as drunk as the reports indicate, she would not remember anything she did or said.
Interpreting these messages is kind of like Kremlin Watching used to be.
The way I read it is that they looked into it, found that she had really, really screwed up, chewed her out, and warned her not to do it again or she’d be fired.
Then they added that bit about not being able to confirm the exact nature of the offense because they didn’t want to fire her RIGHT NOW, which is what would have been done if she had offended a Designated Victim Group in a similar matter.
So, at least she has issued a groveling apology and probably won’t do it again. That’s more than you can usually expect for an offense against Christians.
Somehow, “cussed like a Coastie” doesn’t reverberate with indignation...
btw, this lady (!?) and I share the same name. I’m a Christian singer/songwriter - I guess I should post something on my website saying it wasn’t me!
The implication is that if we’re really Christians we will forgive her - and if we don’t, we’re hypocrites and her comments were justified. That is why Christians get dumped on, it is part of our creed. We don’t riot, terrorize, or saw off heads. Whether Dana seeks God’s forgiveness is between her and her Maker.
Very well stated.
As a former sailor, Am I supposed to take umbrage when the term “swears like a sailor” or “drunk as a sailor” is used?
Being of Irish descent should I be more outraged as “drunk as Paddy’s Pig” or “drunk as a Sailor”:
GEEZ THEY OUGHTA PUT OUT A PC HANDBOOK SO WE CAN KNOW WHEN TO EXPRESS PROPER OUTRAGE....
“...hope that I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment.”
I dunno, sounds like a really excellent lack of judgment to me...
