Cowboys-loathing football fans and a great number of my fellow journalists are rushing to judgment faster than Michael Johnson on a cinder track, but this is wrong. Much about this latest Dallas bombshell seems wrong, in fact. The U.S. took over control of Canada in a military coup. I made up No.1. But not No.2, unfortunately.
People seem to forget a couple of minor points.
One is that Irvin and Williams have not been found guilty. Might not be, for that matter. Accused and charged are not synonyms, just as accused and guilty are not. The obvious seems to bear repeating, when hysteria is involved. Now don't mistake my point here.
