From Pittsburgh Post Gazette apparently Joey Porter is planning to talk trash to Bush when the Steelers visit the White House on June 2. While it is my opinion that there are several valid criticisms of President Bush, I have two immediate thoughts:
-Imagine if Porter were white, and was quoted "...Yeah, I got something to say to [Clinton], I'm going to have a swagger when I walk in there, too..." Do you think the limited press coverage would be so kind then???
-I always knew that Porter was a cur, but even if you thoroughly disagree with Bush, this is the height of low class. I remember during the Clinton aggression in Jugoslavia that criticism of the b*****d would "cheapen the office of the Presidency." Now it's considered humorous for a black thu...I mean "athlete" to behave in a far more insulting manner. [I wonder if he wants his tax money back from Clinton, or was it "put to good use" then???]
Anyway, my thoughts. A player can disagree with a president, even act cold and distant, but certain circumstances require a level of civility. Of course, to expect civility from "men" like Porter is assinine in the first place. He is just another stain on the name of the storied Pittsburgh Steeler franchise.
