Keyboard Courage!!

I'm amazed at some of the things people will write, or claim they feel strongly about. It’s not what they say, but from where they say it. Lets just take the obvious subjects politics, race, religion and sports. Since its football season and I'm an avid lover of all things NFL let’s stick to sports for this particular issue.

Mike Vick (MV7)
Now when Mike got back in the league it was like the 08 election all over again, everyone was choosing sides. People who didn’t think he deserved to play and those who felt he more than paid his price and deserved to play again. What amazes me about the whole situation was the supposed swell of outrage and anger about the Eagles giving him a chance. I'm sure you all read it... People were using any and every media, blog and communication outlet they could find to say how bad it was going to be.

They were calling into radio stations with craziness saying "I'm selling my season tickets or I’m canceling my NFL ticket (Direct TV). Then you had your real brave people saying "he should be killed like the dogs he killed" or even worse " Lock that nigger in a kennel with the dogs and have him killed"!! These blogs and chats are still on ESPN.COM right now.

The internet has really given a bunch of COWARDS (yes I said it) COWARDS a lot of Keyboard Courage.

Where are the thousands of protesters that were suppose to show up at Eagles games?? Where were the big ratings drop from everyone who said they wouldn’t watch any football after Goodell reinstated Vick? Where was the mass cancelation of the NFL ticket subscribers on Direct TV? I will tell you where they were… At home sitting behind their keyboard because they are too afraid to follow through on idle internet/boycott threats. Some might say hey D you typing now right now what’s the difference? Simple I will say to anyone on the street in public or anywhere how I feel about whatever if I’m asked or if I have an opinion. I won’t just hide behind my keyboard in the safety of my home behind my locked doors..


I know it’s the age of instant media and everyone is a reporter/commentator now, but I will give the guys on TV and Radio a little credit. They will say what they feel on air regardless of how silly they sound. Those of you who pop in and out chat rooms call someone a nigger real quick and hide you all are COWARDS.. My old pastor used a saying “Don’t throw a rock and hide your hand” If you say something, put your name on it and stand by what you said. Don't do it in the secret on the internet, but say it to your friends, family and co-workers (if you have any). I’m not saying go to work and get fired, but if you feel a certain way about something and someone ask you your opinion, be honest.. I dare ya!!!! Hahahhaa

Peace
