Some of you might need a reminder that there’s a difference between ‘insensitive’ and ‘offensive’.
But then again, it today’s PC ultra soft, p***y ass society, being offended has become and industry and ‘offensive’ is whatever one says it is.
Dean cheated, local media conspired to protect him while promising to bring down and “get” Jimmy V. All the while that other bastion of u*nc virtue, Mr Friday, turned a blind eye to Deano while crucifying V, not for breaking the rules, but for violating the spirit of them so as to protect the integrity ofthe ACC and the UNC system. Give me a freakn break.
Dean was a good man in many ways. He was also flawed. He gave in to the pressure, he cheated, and he defrauded many of his own players.
His dementia shielded him from the ongoing scandal, it did not rewrite history.
Too soon? Insensitive? Yeah, most likely. Legitimate? Damn sure is.
I find the clueless sanctimony more offensive than the question.
I find the one sided ongoing media lionization offensive. Praise the good, But acknowledge the flaws.
Offensive? 20+ years and counting and V is still waiting for the apology.
