ESPN show host says "eye for and eye" is southern culture

Radio host Collin Cowherd said that Tony Stewart hitting Kevin Ward is just part of the," eye for an eye" culture that permeates the south. I'm expecting vast protest and a future firing in the works for such stereotyping. Right!

But blame the South? That’s the gist of radio host Colin Cowherd’s characterization of the sad events at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday night. “It’s really, really part of the South,” the ESPN Radio host opined Monday of NASCAR. “And it’s an eye-for-an-eye culture.” Cowherd imagines that the culture that birthed stock-car racing in America instilled a “settle the score” mentality in the sport and its relatives, which ultimately led to Kevin Ward Jr.’s death underneath a sprint car this weekend.

I hate that fricking troll.

Cowherd is trolling. It's what you have to do to get ratings nowadays.

I listened to his whole show that morning. Nothing he said was out of line

But it’s still silly to blame the South for New Yorker Kevin Ward Jr.’s death under a Hoosier's wheel in the Finger Lakes region of the Empire State. All serious people know it’s George W. Bush’s fault.
This article ends well.

And you sir just threw a couple more dollars into Colin's bank account. Well done.

If Cowherd understood the Bible he would know that Stewart would have to have been killed by Ward for it to be an "eye for an eye"

It's Cowherd, he says a lot of dumb shite.

His comment doesn't even make sense, Stewart wrecked Ward, how is it an eye for an eye if he runs over him afterwards??

Stopped reading right there. If you want to find an example of something that compares to what you view as unjustified bitching about stereotyping, or that's comparable to anything really, Cowherd is just a horrible example, analogy, whatever, to use.

"Eye for an eye" is a saying that, contextually, promotes mercy.
Americans are ignorant.

I'm pretty sure I read about an "eye for an eye" in an old Jewish text.
I doubt the media has any idea about Jewish culture though.

1. This happened a week ago.
2. I don't anyone gives a shite overall, however, in the context of our current climate is interesting how this is a non issue.
3. The bigger issue is ESPN, a network which most of us are familiar with as we all likely came to this board for college football, and the news media in general. They suspend what, 4 hosts recently for far less than this, a blanket assessment of a region, yet no reaction. Speak with your pocketbook and don't stand for a bunch of arse clown news monitors determining your values.

I wonder if Cowherd would describe the people of Ferguson as," eye for an eye" types?
