Jonathan Vilma’s ‘asshole tendencies’

http://outsports.com/jocktalkblog/2012/01/04/jonathan-vilmas-asshole-tendencies/

Last week, New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma Tweeted that grown men shouldn’t act feminine. He denied being homophobic and sexist, and in doing so he proved he’s just an asshole.

I don’t intend to call names; I mean “asshole” in the most technical terms. “Asshole” is in the dictionary as “a stupid, incompetent, or detestable person.” In wake of his Twitter battle last week, that sums up Vilma pretty well. “Jerk” doesn’t quite do it. “Nasty” doesn’t work. “Asshole” fits like Joe Montana in a West Coast offense.

Last Wednesday Vilma Tweeted, and please excuse his spelling error: “Grown men should NOT hav female tendencies. Period.”

Period. With “NOT” in all caps. Seems pretty all-encompassing, right? He didn’t have to put NOT in all caps. He didn’t have to say “period” at the end of the statement. He made a sweeping claim and hit it home twice. Seems his position is pretty clear-cut.

That's the best this Cyd Zeigler Jr. can come up with?

Moronic analogy ...
