Wearing a pair of Oakley's on the sideline doesn't bother me near as much as all the dancing that goes on after every play. And I don't have an "allegiance" to Lamar because he played at Louisville, but I also realize he is a class act most of the time and the attacks on him are mostly unwarranted.
I read through all the posts in this thread and it seems that almost all decry the tweet but don't generalize to making this a broad attack on Jackson's character as a person. In fact, most attest positively to Jackson's character.
I've always disliked judging of public figures (entertainers, sports figures, talk show hosts, politicians, etc.) based on one thing they said, perhaps even decades ago, versus the entirety of their body of work. People make mistakes. We say stupid and hurtful things, particularly when emotional. Hopefully a person can make amends.
That being said, I think you would certainly agree that it is perfectly fine to criticize what was a very classless tweet.
