Comment of the Week: Larry Johnson and the ‘edge of insanity’

Larry Johnson week is officially over.

We think.

We’ll keep checking the Larry Johnson Outrage-o-Meter, but unless something big happens to King Pink — like say, he gets traded or released or breastfeeds a cat — then we’re probably not touching it.

But we gotta give “Comment of the Week” to a reader of this post: “Chiefs’ Larry Johnson says fan has ‘fag’ picture.” When all the controversy started with LJ using homophobic slurs and criticizing his coach, one reader, Mia, offered some perspective:

I think we have all missed the point. The fact that an NFL player is more comfortable tweeting than having a conversation with his coach is telling. We as a society are more obsessed with technology than our own best interest. Quit tweeting and start talking. We are on the edge of insanity and have already crossed the line into the absurd.

Thanks, Mia.
