A Message To David Boren--Can We Please Keep Things In Perspective?

University of Oklahoma President David Boren has come out and demanded that the Oregon-Oklahoma game be stricken from the record books because of the bad officiating.

Let's set aside for a moment the officiating, which was truly awful. The Pac-10 has already suspended the crew for a game and that is appropriate.

But Boren says:

"To describe the lapses in accurate officiating at the Oklahoma-Oregon football game last Saturday as constituting an outrageous injustice is an understatement."

Oh I don't know Senator Boren. Certainly as a senator you are familiar with what a real outrage is. This is a fucking football game. Get over it.

You know what a real outrageous injustice is Senator Boren? It's you voting to confirm Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice after what you and your fellow senators did to Anita Hill. That's an injustice.

You know what else is an injustice? You as president allowing a conservative to defund an endowned chair named for Anita Hill at Oklahoma. That's an injustice.

But then again, I'm sure the higher education system in Oklahoma is such a national leader that the school's president should be spending his time on such important issues.
