And the guy got caught in the trap making all that affirmative action,diversity mumbo jumbo a big issue where he became a posterchild for the liberal establishment using him as a prop.He should have just said,I got lucky and I hope I can squeeze about 3 years out of this promotional flash in the pan gig where I play for a few teams that pick me up on waivers-taxi squad-healthy scratches where I make a pile of money most people working 30 years won't make.
Anyone remember Santon Gatto the guy from Africa that was a free agent walk on for the Packers who was like a tube of toothpaste where he squeezed as much good fortune in 5 years as humanly possible for a fringe player?He was going to use his NFL salary to go to medical school so he could go back to Africa to practice medicine.At the end he played for 3 different teams one year as a reserve 4th string backup runningback.I don't think he ever played special teams though?The NFL must not have wanted that PR publicity stunt to go away due to injury.The NFL loves diversity.If they could find a way to put a blind or handicapped guy on a roster they would.NASA is just as bad where they pick diversity over talent when it comes to sending someone up in space.I swear they sought out lesbian minority women with handicaps.Nothing like sending someone to a grade school to give a motivational PR speech telling the kids that they can become anything they want to by achieving an inferior public education.
I live near Duluth,Minnesota and for awhile they had an independent league baseball team that was pretty good stocked with many MLB players.As a publicity stunt they signed a lesbian firefighter woman from California named Isla Borders to pitch.Her fastball was about 55 miles an hour and on occassion she pitched against Darrel Strwberry I think.Conseco's brother and guys like that too.You felt sorry for her and had pity on her.But yet the local media only focused on her being the star of the team.She wasn't even a good mascot let alone a player.
