<blockquote class="Quote"><div><strong class="bc-author">gareth</strong> said:</div><div>Drew Magary on Deadspin has the following for MoeLarryDesperado...<br /> <br /> <blockquote>I've seen on any number of message boards retard fans who had this to say about Vick taking apart the Redskins last week: "Well, I'd never want him on MY team. I'd be ashamed if he were my quarterback." If you find someone who says this in person, you walk up to them and you rub your scrotum against them. I fucking hate uppity sports fans who have some kind of imaginary, subjective criteria for what kind of athlete they deem acceptable for their team and which they don't. It's bullshit. BULLSHIT. If you're into sports because you want athletes to be good people, stop watching fucking sports. Because no team at no time will be 100% stocked with perfect, moral citizens of the universe. You just happen to know more about Mike Vick's transgressions than you do most any other athlete's. If you're a Giants fan and you say you'd never have Vick on your team, you have no fucking clue if there's some prick already ON the Giants who is an even worse person than Vick, someone who hasn't at all paid for his sins. Mario Manningham could rape goats. I don't know. How the fuck would I know?<br /> <br /> Anyone who applies this sort of ethical standard to pro sports is a retard. It's professional sports. It's not even some cockamamie "amateur" enterprise like the NCAA or the Olympics, which are both terminally fucked because of the same kind of hypocrisy. I don't root for players on my team to stay faithful to their wives and take cancer babies to the State Fair. I root for them to do a job. Anything outside of that purview is pointless and unrealistic. It's a transparent exercise in cheap self-esteem boosting. It's basically a way of deluding yourself into thinking you're somehow a good person by saying you'll never root for Vick, or that your team would NEVER dare employ such a horrible monster on its squad. It's all a load of shit. If Vick were on my team right now, I'd buy 800 pieces of Vick memorabilia, even the commemorative #7 Valtrex travel pack. The fuck do I care? He's destroying the world right now. I don't give a shit if he took a dog and chopped its dick off with a pizza cutter. I already know he's a moron who's liable to do something idiotic at any second. But ANY player on the squad could also be that way. I don't know them. I CAN'T know them. And to assume otherwise makes you a swollen dickhole.</div></blockquote></blockquote> <br /> Yeah, because I care what some asshole from Deadspin has to say.<br /> <br /> No one should have an opinion about anyone in any endeavor of life because, like, you never know, they might rape goats.<br /> <br /> Gareth, maybe if you found out next week that Tom Brady goes to Thailand 3 times a year and has sex with 5 year olds you'd still keep his Fathead on your wall, but I promise you I would not. Maybe that earns you more Hipster Style Points than I'll ever have on the Deadspinmeter, but I could not give two shits either way.<br /> <br /> And there's a difference between being a dickhead and doing what Vick did. Curt Schilling was and is a dickhead, but I had no problem rooting for him as a member of the "best Red Sox team ever assembled."
