Rodman He Expects, but Jackson Too?
- Share via
When will the NBA and the sports-minded public say “enough is enough” to the antics of Dennis Madman . . . uh, Rodman? The monetary fines imposed mean nothing to the egomaniacal jerk! He decides to head for Vegas in the middle of playoffs and is excused by comments such as “Dennis will do what Dennis wants to do.” He makes a derogatory remark about Salt Lake City Mormons and, after being fined, apologizes, using the royal “we.”
To top it all, Bull Coach Phil Jackson excuses Rodman by saying, “He may not even know it’s a religious cult or sect or whatever it is.” These comments expose the ignorance and insensitivity of both individuals. But, hey, winning is everything, right?
Fuzzy Zoeller’s gaffe was far more innocuous and his monetary loss was much greater. Looks like another example of a double standard.
JACK BROOKE
