Meanwhile, remember that former pro football player who was acclaimed a hero for forgoing his million-dollar sports career only to get killed in Afghanistan? You thought it was last week's story. No, it's about to get major legs. A single op-ed in a single college newspaper mocked the footballer, saying he "got what was coming to him" and that Latinos would consider him a pendejo for getting himself shot instead of enjoying a pro athlete's prerogatives. Expect the Fox News types to jump all over this and ride it for weeks.
