If you’re like me you may remember summer of 2013 as the year America discovered a new reality show/ sport to follow. Sure, we were glued to the OJ trial years ago, but the Zimmerman trial was different.
People of all colors and political persuasions had differing opinions about OJ’s guilt or innocence. George Zimmerman split the country along lines of color, political leaning and the biggie – guns. The only winners were the 24-hour ESPN-like ‘news’ channels who fed the fans hunger for bits of divisive blather round the clock.
Please tell me this ‘sports’ season is over. Team Prosecution dismayed and disappointed even the staunchest fans. I – for one, am trading my wilted pom poms for a blindfold – just like the one worn by that Justice dame. I always thought she was wearing that thing so as to be impartial. I’ll bet she’s wearing ear plugs too!
