Scarred For Life

Sometimes, I really despair for people’s ability to grasp a sense of proportion.

 

The latest example comes from a world that I know little about – American basketball. Still, when did that ever stop me… Yes, I grant you that the comment, that a female basketball team were "nappy-headed hos" by a radio host, Don Imus, was completely crass and insensitive. But for one of the team, Matee Avajon, to state that his comment has "scarred me for life" is so ridiculous as to make me despair.

 

Oh, yes, Matee Avajon, scarred for life? Like this, you mean? Think again.
