Yep, Canzano is responsible for every comment someone makes on his story. Uh, huh. Canzano's story was legitimate, and no fool talking about sending Roy back to Africa will change that.
Bahahaha @ all the people talking about DISRESPECTING THE FLAG and about Roy's "statement". You can't possibly be serious?! Oh well, it will give me something funny to send to everyone I know and we can all laugh at you in unison. Keep it up, I can't write comedy this gold.
I haven't seen HCP tooting his horn. He was asked a while back if he was a vet because of something said on the broadcast around veterans day. As a vet he should be able to point it out without getting a bunch of bull shit for it. I myself am not a vet. My lottery number was high enough I didn't get drafted for Viet Nam. I have nothing but respect for veterans. My father fought in WWII. Brandon has a right to his choices even if we don't agree with them. I think it was tasteless on Canfartzo's part to mention it.
Everyone makes a choice that has consequences. Canzano chose to write this piece probably knowing well that it would cause nothing but negative feedback for Brandon Roy. But, it sure is creating a buzz for his column. What do you think his intention was when writing this, exactly?
Canzano wanted to offend people like Shooter. Roy standing in the tunnel for the NA was like a tree falling in the forest with no one to hear if it made a sound. Canzano made sure that the sound was heard so that it could offend people like Shooter. Yet Shooter praises Canzano for allowing him to be outraged.
This you know how? Do you have secret insights into Canzano's motives? Isn't it just possible that Canzano was offended by Roy's behavior himself?? Isn't that the purpose of journalism--to inform us about things we may not be familiar with? Should Woodward and Bernstein have sat on their story about Nixon just to keep the sound of the tree falling in the forest from becoming audible?
I am not quite as powerful as you. I can read Canzano's mind, but not the country's mind, or the mind of all of the veterans. Well, the main purpose of journalism is to sell papers. I will concede my point was a little flawed, but your comparison is not so similar. That was some mighty fine investigative journalism by Canzano...
He probably wasn't considering he wrote an article about Roy standing in the tunnel last January, during the national anthem, and used it to help promote Roy for the all-star game.
Um, do you have secret insights into Roy's motives? Like when you said that Roy had political reasons behind it? Or implied.... what secret insights do you have into Roy's motives??
after tonight's game, I'm feeling angrier towards Canzano and people who are criticizing Roy. I'm also a little disappointed in Roy if he let them bully him into changing his routine tonight; I'm sure if he did, that he resents it and it could subconsciously play out in less offensive and defensive effort. As in, "OK, you guys don't want me doing my routine that has worked so well for me, maybe I don't want you sitting here and seeing a great game!"
