Had Ms. Jacobson’s comments been limited to what you report, I would agree with your assessment that it was an attack against a rival college football team. You missed one comment when in fact it has been reported that she said, F— Notre Dame. F— Touchdown Jesus. F— Jesus. So in point of contradiction, it was indeed an attack on the Church or the faith. Being drunk doesn’t excuse you from driving while intoxicated. Being drunk doesn’t excuse you from making heretical statements or insulting an entire religious group.
I apologize that I did not cover the entirety of her comments. I guess I had bad information. After doing more research, I agree that her comment, the “F” bomb on Jesus, was wholly inappropiate and she should face the circumstances. But I also agree that you shouldn’t eliminate watching ESPN because of her. I would hate to miss all 6000 hours of coverage of the 2007 World Series of Poker (that’s a joke!); but seriously, I need my SportsCenter (da-duh-da, da-duh-da.) I will definitely pray for her, asking that the Holy Spirit grace her with a little compassion and forethought.Had Ms. Jacobson’s comments been limited to what you report, I would agree with your assessment that it was an attack against a rival college football team.

And while each of us has to respond as we see appropriate, I for one have already written to ESPN and Disney (ESPN’s parent corporation) and informed them they will not get any of my time or money until they terminate Ms. Jacobson. I think if the networks responded like this, the anchors would censor themselves.
I agree. She should be subjected to the same censure and punishment as Mel Gibson was.Had Ms. Jacobson’s comments been limited to what you report, I would agree with your assessment that it was an attack against a rival college football team.

that’s an assumption. we don’t know that for sure.
So according to your logic we should never take any actions about anything because as you say above, “if Jesus really wanted action to be taken, i think He could take it Himself.”
not exactly…So according to your logic we should never take any actions about anything because as you say above, “if Jesus really wanted action to be taken, i think He could take it Himself.”
And had you left it at that, I wouldn’t have responded as I did. Actually, I wouldn’t have responded at all. I certainly respect your opinion as absolutely viable; mine just happens to be different.
The certainly crucified Mel Gibsoon (no pun intended) when he went on a drunken rant against Jews, didn’t they…
You could defend laying down in the street and waiting for cars to run you over with that “Jesus will take care us this” attitude.
it is an assumption, but one that I feel safe about making. The reason is two fold. First, Muslims would be protesting like nobody’s business. Second, some one be scared of the nuts out there who might actually do someone physical harm.
and that is not at all what i said. you even misquoted me. i didn’t say “Jesus will take care of us in this” i said Jesus can defend Himself. there is a difference. i never said not to defend some one else.
