Why are you castigating a good, dead man because Strange Famous quoted him out of context?

You should be ashamed. You too Mixedmedia.
I am not a fan of football (of either variety) so any quote like that is going to make my eyes roll. It did occur to me later that the quote could have been made tongue-in-cheek, though. If it means that much to you, I will apologize. But if an apology is necessary I really don't think I'm the one who should be making it. After all, SF used it to de-legitimize the oppression of the (roughly) 2.5 million people of Tibet.
