Absolutely perfect, thanks Joe. I can always count on you.
Please observe, folks: Most people would find Jordan's words positive, maybe even motivational, inspirational.
They would think about their own lives, and whether those words could help them. And they CERTAINLY would want their CHILDREN to adopt such a valuable philosophy.
But not ol' Joe!
When he sees those words, he immediately finds a way to (in his mind) discredit them, deflect from them, ignore them.
That's where we are. You didn't build that, you didn't earn that, you don't deserve that.
That's how these people roll. Thanks again, Joe.

the man couldn't run away from his community fast enough...
No, I don't find his words inspirational because in the cosmic scheme of things, it's only a fucking game.
The guy was drummed out of the league for gambling, and then let back in because the NBA didn't have anyone with his public appeal.
I don't think that sends the right message to kids. 'Hey, kids, it's okay if you break the rules if you are charismatic enough and popular enough! And if we have a warehouse full of these Number 23 Jerseys we have to sell!"
Frankly, even though he's a rightwinger, I respect Charles Barkley more.
