Last week Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Phil Jackson got himself into some hot water by describing a recent Lakers victory as a "Brokeback Mountain Game" because of all the "penetration and kickouts". Apparently the NBA was not thrilled with this analogy, presumably because it might on some wacky off chance have offended a gay person. Jackson delivers one of the greatest sarcastic apologies of all time; thanking ESPN for making such a big deal about it and apologizing to any cowboys or horses that were offended.
Let me get this straight, Isiah Thomas can sexually harass a female employee, Stephan Marbury can sleep with a MSG intern in the back of a truck outside a strip club, James Dolan can try to cover the whole thing up, MSG can be lose one of the largest sexual harassment settlements in US history, and there is no repercussions. But Phil Jackson makes a "Brokeback Mountain" joke and he has to apologize the very next day?
If anything, Jackson should have had to apologize for making a "Brokeback Mountain" joke because its not terribly relevant. What's next Phil? A Bill Clinton joke?
