I am sorry to report that Jonathan Capehart has lost his damn mind. While I totally agree that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is incompetent and should be replaced, there is no way in hell that I would entrust the job to Condoleezza Rice.
I am not going to detail her record of ineptitude nor am I going to list her many moral failings. This should be unnecessary.
If you don’t know how horrible her track record is, there is no hope for you.
Jonathan Capehart wants Rice to be put in charge of an important American institution? She, along with the rest of the Dubya cabal, should be committed to an institution – not put in charge of one. I wouldn’t put No-One-Could-Have-Predicted Rice in charge of a wet book of matches.
I don’t think this level of mockery (i.e. truth-telling) can be improved upon, so I wouldn’t dream of trying…
Gold medal-winning wanking by this corporate media clown, bravo!
Nah, I’m down with it, since I like baseball and think people are too into football.
What would she do to solve this crisis – invade the NBA?
Is Condi related to Ray?
Now that would be some delicious irony.
Thank you!! I saw this and I was like .. WTF?!?!?
I disagree. I think she SHOULD be commissioner of football.
In a perfect world, Rice would be commissioner of football and Bush would be commissioner of baseball. Every time one of them lectured their minions on the importance of morality an angel would die.
.
Is there any job that you think Rice is capable of doing or is she just some incompetent woman who should not be trusted with anything?
this has nothing to do with “incompetent woman”, this is about “woman with proven bad judgment”.
She can continue to teach at Stanford.
Not so much incompetence as much as a fucking war criminal.
There is a mountain of nonsense out there about the Rice situation and who knew what when and who should be fired and what is a just punishment and on and on.
But this is the stupidest thing written by far.
Condi? Really?
I guess that she is a woman and black and a conservative AND likes football is just like too much porn or drugs for some people to handle.
I’m guessing that Capehart is being pressured to fit in better an the Washington Neocon and has responded by writing something that will please Fred Hiatt. It’s not an idea that would ever happen, so there’s no damage. And the absurdity of it should be seen as mockery of his idiot coworkers, none of whom will get the joke.
Not that he can ever cop to it.
Wait. What?
He was trolling, right?
(grabbing Scotch bottle.)
Capehart never says why he thinks Rice would make a good commissioner, other than her having said she wants the job.
And the owners say they support Goodell. Well of course they do, because he’s shown a willingness to do their bidding and take their bullets.
I can imagine what happened in this case. The Ravens went to Goodell and said, he’s our star player, give him a slap on the wrist, and he did.
What the NFL needs in a commissioner now is someone with a proven track record of integrity. And that disqualifies Condi.
