Fired ESPN Headline Writer Spent Vacations Working In the Orphanages In Haiti

Kind of hard to squre that with my immediate kneejerk impression of a Frat Boy who'd gone drunk with power with the publishing keys.

. They would see I used my vacation time last year to volunteer in the orphanages of Haiti. They would see how I ‘adopted’ an elderly Alzheimer’s patient and visited him every week for a year. They would see that every winter I organize a coat drive for those less fortunate in New Haven. They would see how I raised $10,000 for a friend in need when his kids were born four months premature. They would see how I have worked in soup kitchens and convalescent homes since I was a kid. They would see my actions speak louder than my words. They would see that these acts were not done for my glory, but for God’s. They would see that each day I live and will continue to live a life of joy and service…

A few commenters said they didn't even know "chink" was a racial slur. I have trouble believing that -- I know almost all the racial slurs, plus a few dozen I made up myself* -- but they have no reason to lie.

Hm.

Maybe some people just really do not know which words are considered insulting.

Certainly this guy seems to be a lot more substantive a person than my made-up imaginary version of him was. Seems hard to imagine that someone with a high degree of conscientiousness is given over to crude larks.

Just wondering, as Allah did: Did ESPN know this or did they just not care?

* Only "macacca" was a new one on me. I was positive it wasn't a slur, or else I'd've already heard of it.

Empire of Jeff Is Not Impressed.

Volunteer in Haiti orphanages = "underage sex tourism"

Adopting Alzheimer's patient = "Medicare fraud"

Fundraiser for premature kids = "human trafficking"

Working soup kitchens and convalescent homes = "inner-city drug dealing"

What a piece of shit this guy is.
