True enough.
I'd love to go through and dissect this, but I don't have the time. But, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "The reality is, right or wrong, our media and our public is going to mindlessly pound the drums of this story till kingdom come because it transcends politicsl into social and political issues. That's not the case with a guy getting drunk and running down a pedestrian. And as such, there's going to be a lot more media distractions for the former than there is for the latter. And when it comes down to football decisions, that makes it a bigger negative." Indeed it does. And, I think almost all Americans would agree those actions are wrong, but there's a divide in America that argues whether or not homosexuality is wrong and that's what we're witnessing.
It's all about the sensationalism. That's what "journalism" is now.
