“That culture of manliness includes men hiding their emotion, machoness, and homophobia.”
That caused him to kill the mother of his child??
The idiot who said that is not a man - wonder what he is?
The only person or thng responsible for Jovan Belcher’s crimes but Jovan Belcher. End of story. He was a 25 year old adult.
We have become a pretty sick society when people are no longer responsible for their actions..its always someone elses fault..when people buy a house they can’t afford and it gets foreclosed, its not their fault for buying a house they can’t afford, nope, its the fault of the bank..or when someone drives drunk and kills someone, its not the fault of the driver, nope, its the fault of the alcohol or the car..its always someone elses fault..no one takes responsibility for anything anymore..its Obama’s America, where no one is to blame..well, no one except for Bush of course
Well being manly is not something the vast majority of news personalities have to worry about.
Yeah, the “culture of manliness” includes siring a children out of wedlock./s

Bob Costas is a guy, a photogenic guy, who comments on things he himself has never done with any degree of competency, i.e., sports. In other words, he is a pretty face who exercises his lips. He has no other expertise in his subject area.
Costas’ commentary on societal norms and laws is the commentary of, at best, an observer, a non-participant (he doesn’t move about in normal society, he is above it). He is another example of celebrity delusion. Because he regularly has the opportunity to speak to millions, he assumes it is because of who he is and what he knows rather than, simply, what he does for a living.
In reality he is at best a naif too full of himself, and at worst a self-appointed judge, presuming to render a verdict on things he really doesn’t understand.
Maybe Anderson Cooper can put together an hour-long CNN news special on this ‘icky nature’ of manliness.
WTF would the pantywaists at CNN know about "Manliness"???
“... even though the 6’2”, 228 lb. linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs could easily have murdered his girlfriend with a knife.”
He could have murdered her with his bare hands. The story has to do not with guns, but with that which dwells in the human heart. And no journalist dares to deal with that. On the other hand, it is doubtful there is a journalist competent to deal with that, much less interested enough to learn.
I saw Rickey Watters talking about this on the Gerri Willis show on Fox Business channel earlier tonight and he said Jovan Belcher had most likely mixed alcohol with drugs prescribed by a team doctor as a result of a concussion he suffered.
Watters said he had been through a similar experience during his career and had been on oxycontin recovering from a concussion and had such mode swings that his wife took the kids and left several times during that period. He even admitted that there were times that she left that he didn't even know she was gone because he was so far removed from reality.
CNN has their head up their a$$ making claims like that... but what else would you expect from liberal loons.
In case no one has noticed, our culture is in the sewer - the GOP is extinct not only because of the party’s ineptness, but the culture is lost and the values the GOP has to offer is no longer wanted or believed in. They have Baraq O’Claus to take care of them, while they all go about having fun. IMHO sanity isn’t coming back without some catastrophic event that will jolt the culture back into reality. It is more than likely going to end very badly.

Probably queer and not much of an expert on “manliness” other than being on the receiving end of it.
The gun had nothing to do with that.
Belcher alone is responsible for this. Yet the Left is twisting and spinning this as the fault of all men. The Left will demand that all men act like castrati.
Is it manly to shoot women?
Pfffft. What bullsheet.
First it was the culture of guns. Appears the leftards are attempting to cover all bases. I despise liberals!
Well, at least the Communist News Network is not blaming the gun.
CNN should look at the violent movies churned out by their parent company. Would they dare cast the blame to a culture of violence in movies or music? I think not.
