Nope. Ireland was wrong and no hindsight will change that.
Hindsight does not change the fact that the question was extremely insensitive and rude.
Even for the NFL.
The fact is Ireland new the answer to the question before he asked it making it not only rude but totally unnecessary and bordering on spiteful.
Really? So if I call your mother a prostitute you're gonna feel a whole lot better about it than if I call her a whore?
This is homerism run amok when we make excuses for Ireland's inappropriate and boorish behavior.
hey JTC111, it doesn't bother me at all. the point of the post was that you want to see how someone reacts under pressure. just like the physical drills, there are mental ones.
If it makes you feel better.
No homerism from me jtc. I could care less what happened in that room. Just stating there is a difference between a whore and a prostitute.
I don't think that was the point of Ireland's question at all. I think he just wanted to know if his mother was a prostitute and it's really none of his damn business and there's nothing at all appropriate about asking it. Let's stop making excuses.
It had previously been known that Angela Bryant was convicted for selling crack cocaine in 1997 and served 18 months in prison.
Lufkin, Texas, police records acquired by ESPN on Monday show that she also was arrested in April 2009 after she was caught selling crack cocaine to police informants. In August, she was found guilty of two felony counts for possession of a controlled substance and the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, and she was sentenced to 10 years' probation.
