The one aspect of this I'm fine with is sponsors dropping him. Not that I think they should (actually, what I think is they should never have sponsored him to begin with on account of him having always been a racist jerk and not funny) but that's just the market at work. I think boycotts are fine, I think sponsors have a right to say who they want to associatte their brand with.

I think this is all nuts, but I also think it suits just about everybody with money or power to have a nice circus to focus on instead of anything that might actually be hard to deal with. This could be even more important than knowing which guy is Anna Nocle's babies fater, which I think we do now.
