You had to go and nitpick, didn't you? You agreed with my goddamn statements but you nitpicked anyway. First Boogie gets his panties in a bunch over "we" and now you're here requiring a scientific poll of all americans.
I FIGURED, for the purposes of an INFORMAL discussion, that I could get away with a broad term like "Americans" because not only does it imply "the majority of" or "in general," but most of us could probably name at least a handful of people in our own lives who grumble about pro athletes.
BUT TELL YOU WHAT. Next time I even THINK of hitting the "Post New Topic" button, I'll present a years worth of research in specific language and excruciating detail, JUST SO I WON'T UPSET YOUR DELICATE SENSIBILITES, MMK? |
I apologize. To even the score, I'll make a few vague generalizations of my own:
Americans do not "forgive" corporate raiders more readily than pro athletes. Just because you (ArtificialBrandon) are hearing all about Kobe's rape trial instead of Martha Stewart's legal troubles does not mean that Americans have forgiven the aforementioned embezzlers.
They also consider said rich white man to be greedy.
