Matt Lauer Yearns for a Simpler Time of Race Riots and Nuclear Standoffs
>> Thursday
"Doesn't it seem that everywhere you turn today in sports there's a scandal and controversy? What happened? I remember when I was growing up I followed and idolized athletes like Muhammad Ali..."
Well, aside from the fact that Ali was guilty of draft evasion, sentenced to prison for five years, and advocated Black Separatism, I suppose Ali did have a relatively uneventful, mundane, non-controversial career.
Whatever you think about Vietnam and draft-evasion (or Black Separatism, I guess), I think we can all agree that Matt Lauer is an ignorant fuckhead who despite being a grown man, still views sports like a child; completely incapable of remembering that there has ALWAYS been controversy in sports, and the present, like our golden yesteryears is no exception.
After finishing the story (the lead this morning), Lauer beefed up his journalistic credentials by reporting on what rehab facility Lindsay Lohan is going to. Atta boy, Matt.
