Mike DiMauro is taken aback by the outpouring of racism, bigotry, and hatred (in some quarters) in response to the release of Britney Griner. An excerpt from his column:
Seriously. Reading the abject hatred tethered to Griner’s rescue — the saving of a human life — made me think of Sen. Howard Baker’s classic question to bagman Tony Ulasewicz during Watergate: “Who thought you up?”
Who thought these people up? Where do they come from? Have they always been here? All I know is they’re helping us lose our humanity one keystroke at a time.
Afterthought:
I quibble with his use of the term, “amusing irony.” Frightening, appalling, disgusting, maybe, but not amusing.
