He should have made it a generic statement, since most sports reporters no little about the fine details of the sports they are assigned to cover.
It’s not the statement so much as it is the IDIOT that made the statement.
When the NFL decides that it’s barely literate employees are going to be the standard bearers for justice and equality, then they should be held to a higher standard.
I for one am GLAD he said what he said because it exposes the stupidity of the NFL for trying to make these ENTERTAINERS more important than they really are.
