Burnside Let's Fly

Due to the recent controversies brewing in the sporting world, it is with my sincerest apologies that the Gospel According to Henry Rowengartner will have to wait another day to make its Debut. With that said though, two recent incidents regarding racism have been spotlighted in sports, and I quite frankly am not exactly in agreement with the way these issues have been dealt with. I will apologize in advance if any of the following information appears to be racist or insensitive, but hey, somebody's gotta let the world know what's up.


Numero Uno: In case you didn't notice, the Phoenix Los Suns were in NBA playoff action last night, repping hard core that "LOS" on their uni's in a supposed protest to the recent Arizona law passed on immigration. After all, I wouldn't doubt if there were several mexicanos who were able to sneak past security to witness the game in person, and so at least they went "home" happy. It's only fair to pay your respect to the very illegals who cost your state $10Bil+ a year on welfare/education and bring so very much to the "mesa." Although I'm sure Steve Nash has a soft spot for los inmigrantes ilegales, the Los Suns had no business bringing that load of political jizz-jazz onto the court with them. Don't stray away from what got you there. In the meantime, hats off to the state of Arizona whose genius move to scatter illegals will hopefully catch on in other states once they suffer from infestation.

In other news, Dez Bryant made headlines last week after news leaked from his pre draft interview with the Miami Dolphins. During the interview, GM Jeff Ireland learned some very troubling things about Bryant's past, and went on to pop the question if his mother was a prostitute. Ireland's question has been criticized for its insensitivity, but who can really blame him. Let's see here, Dez's mom, Angela Bryant, birthed her diva son when she was only 15 and has been convicted multiple times on dealing the GS (good stuff) while hustling her way to "providing" for her son. Aside from my tax dollars, it would seem quite likely there was another source of income besides the dealing, and let's just say it might have a thing or two to do with getting knocked up at the age of 14. Case closed, valid question. I doubt if Dez even knew to let anybody know about the question until his agent probably told him he could make headlines and maybe even get a little cash out of this. In regards to Dez Bryant as a football player, I feel like I've seen players like him before. Names such as Charles Rogers, Mike Williams, and David Boston float to the surface as players who were freak of athletes at Wide Receiver, but let their attitude and work ethic get in the way of success. It was cocky enough reppin #1 in college there Dez, but now I tip my hat even more to your recent decision to rock #88 for the Cowboys. After all, who wouldn't want to have Michael Irvin as a role model?

Lesson (among lessons) learned, the media loves taking "racist" BS and blowing it way out of proportion, and that's just not gonna fly. That's all I got, stay classy Mack.
