re: Yahoo article on Alfred Blue comments

Blue was an idiot for making those remarks-regardless of his, my, yours, or anyone else's beliefs-when you are a public figure, you have to be able to control your thoughts/feelings because there will always be someone looking to make more of it than it is. It's the same thing as being asked about another coach, team, player during the season, you don't want to be spewing "bulletin board" material, in this case sentiments that reflect badly upon a team. Media relations should have offered some "advice" on how these guys should respond to social issue questions. I'm not faulting Blue for what he believes, I'm just saying this whole issue is thrown out there to attempt to stir up controversy & try to find that one kid who will probably say more than he should've & then the horse is out the barn & here comes all the other media outlets that will focus on this one statement. Public/media relations needs to do a better job of teaching these kids how to approach interviews.
