5 Feet of Fury

This week in self-stereotyping: we have a winner!

Numerous people sent this in to me. I’ll let Plank’s Constant tell the tale:

According to a U.S. Airways employee, the 20 year old football player had his pants “below his buttocks, but above the knees, and his boxer shorts were showing.”

This is an example of “You can take the kid out of the ghetto, but you can’t get the ghetto out of the kid.” What grown man wears his pants below his underwear? What kind of an idiot is he?

But that’s what happens when you have a stupid name like Deshon and do not have the sense to change it when you become an adult. (…)

Regarding his stupid name, here’s some advice from my article If I were black I would be offended on naming any of your future children: “… unless your children were born in Zimbabwe, stop calling them Mfuqwa or Shaniqwa … If you want your children to be successful in America do what everybody else does in this country, assimilate.”
