Sometimes, we let athletes and celebrities get away with saying things that “normal” every day folk like most of us simply can’t. They can be brash, opinionated, even obnoxious and still get a free pass because of how much we revere what they do on the field, or the movie screen, or wherever.
But sometimes, foot gets inserted into mouth so deep that no amount of backtracking can take back how bad that person made themselves look.
Such is the case with former Seahawk offensive lineman Alvin Bailey.
Bailey, an Oklahoma native and thus a fan of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder, was understandably ecstatic after his team advanced in the playoffs with a decisive series-clinching win last night over the San Antonio Spurs.
