Dear NYTimes, don't ever write about football again.
This drivel about Aaron Brooks is the worst kind of victimization writing I have ever seen.
Quote :"I have no doubt that Brooks’s stinging criticisms played a role in his difficulty in returning to the N.F.L."
Are you kidding me? NFL players rape, drive drunk, do drugs, beat people up in bars, murder people, and get caught with hookers the night before the Super Bowl, and they get to play. If you are better than the other players available, you get to play in the NFL, no doubt about it. You think a few comments about Katrina are going to keep you off the team?
This tool, William C. Rhoden writes
"He(Brooks) felt Tagliabue should have visited the Saints' players in the weeks after the hurricane." For what? Hugs? I'm sure whatever Saints players lived in LA were fine, they could probably afford a plane ticket or a hotel room. It was the people not making at least $250,000 a year who needed help.
Poor Aaron Brooks. According to the Times, just another victim being persecuted for speaking his mind.
Tell ya what NYT, stick to writing about fashion and Broadway celebrities and politics or even baseball, and don't ever write about football again.
