Now this is just plain stupid.
As Charlie Pierce pointed out on this week's "Only A Game", it is monumentally, epochally stupid for any professional media person to use the word "lynch" in connection with any other human being, never mind the most famous athlete, arguably, on planet Earth.
"Lynch" has a very specific meaning. It was a deeply insensitive choice of words.
Sure, there's freedom of speech. But you also have to own the words you use-and you have to own the consequences of that speech. That's life in the big city.
