… really must be the hobgoblin of little minds.

Jason Whitlock, who once said that anyone rooting against the 2004 U.S. men’s Olympic basketball teams was a racist—which, you’ll remember, really pissed me off—is now drawing parallels between that team and the 2004 U.S. Ryder Cup team. He quotes himself talking to a couple of friends, saying:

“Our Ryder Cup team was composed of a bunch of lazy, unpatriotic, stupid thugs who don’t know the first thing about playing team golf,” I said. “I was rooting for the Euros because I hope it sends a message to our golfers that we need to change the system, change the way we play and pick the team.”

It couldn’t be that Whitlock is racist … could it?

Now, before you rip the network cable out of the back of your computer in disgust, realize that I’m only turning Whitlock’s words and gross assumptions back upon him. I haven’t a clue whether the man’s racist or not. Thing is, though, that he doesn’t know that about me, either. That’s my real point.
