Somehow, Hacksaw Got Nailed by Vikings

Poor Lee Hamilton can’t understand why he’s being held accountable for remarks coming from his mouth, as a broadcaster no less. And, he claims he’s the one that has been wronged.

Accountability’s a rough thing, eh Hamilton? Can’t understand why the term “fat Jap” is deemed racist? Try exchanging the J-word with the N-word. Does that make a difference? Hey, they’re just words, aren’t they?

Hamilton has to quit whining about why the race issue came up again. The simple truth is racist remarks burn deep. It’s amazing “Hacksaw” doesn’t understand that. He, after all, was the first to inject race in his pathetic analyses of players on the field and within his industry.

Hack, be the stand-up person you claim you are and be accountable for the things that come out of your mouth. If you’re a victim, then Rocker’s a martyr.

The worst aspect of Lee Hamilton’s having to resign as the Vikings’ announcer is the manner in which his name and character were attacked by Minnesota columnist Larry Fitzgerald. Apparently Mr. Fitzgerald has the gumption to write an article about Mr. Hamilton’s past, but doesn’t quite have the nerve to return any of his phone calls.

Mr. Fitzgerald’s modus operandi is clear: attack the person in print, but if the phone rings, run and hide.
