[Marmion]

I just today read about this in articles such as these , which explain in greater detail what happened .  https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/03/12/racist-high-school-basketball-announcer-defends-himself-by-saying-hes-baptist/   ,  https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/mar/12/oklahoma-high-school-basketball-racial-slur  Long story short , the announcer , Matt Rowan , a one time youth pastor , got upset over members of a girls basketball team kneeling during the playing of the national anthem . Not realizing his microphone was still on , he went on a racially charged , profanity laced tirade . Upon being called out on his remarks , he made the excuse that his high blood sugar must have been to blame .

I have two T1 diabetic kids. I don’t care HOW high their blood glucose might be, “racism” is never a side effect.

That’s the conservative response to everything when one of them fucks up is to blame a mental and/or physical condition. Or stress or some other bullshit reason.
