Evolution Surrenders!

It looks like Nader has found something to get himself back in the spotlight. He's going to go to bat for T.O.:

Could the Terrell Owens situation be heading to a courtroom as a free-speech case?
That seems unlikely, but consumer advocate Ralph Nader is now involved in the fued between Owens and the Eagles. Nader wants the Eagles and the NFL to drop the Owens suspension, which he says "dishonors this country's traditional respect for free speech."

Oh really! Should they buy him a pony too?

Adds Nader: "There is, as well, a consumer issue at stake here. Fans have purchased tickets for Eagles' games, in Philadelphia and elsewhere, on the assumption that they will see asshat dances one of the game's most exciting receivers, so long as he is healthy enough to play. The Eagles' action denies them this opportunity."

Would you care to poll Eagles fans on that Ralphy boy?

The Nader letter raises the specter that an outside entity could sue the league or the Eagles, and push the Owens saga past Nov. 18, when a league arbitrator will decide what happens to T.O.

Rest of the story here.

First off Ralphy, Owens wasn't arrested for what he said. He did not get in any legal trouble. He decided he was going to bad mouth his boss and co-workers on national television. He has been suspended, and presumably fired. He was free to shoot off his fool mouth, and he did. Now the Eagles are free to fire him, and they probably will. Tell me one job in this nation where you can slam your co-workers, and boss to the media, and not face any consequences for those actions?(Other than Congress.) STFU Ralph, and GBTW. You get todays T.O. Award, and an Attention Whore award to boot.
