Time to apologize (or maybe apologise?) if you offended anybody. Jack Morris is a red-blooded American boy.

It's not possible to train away or argue away an old man's lifetime of 'jokes,' contempt, prejudices, biases. At best, you might laboriously train him to avoid the most egregious public remarks, while leaving intact his basic worldview.<br /><br />For a former teacher, I'm not much of a believer in the power of education to solve the world's misery.<br /><br />Is Jack Morris any good as announcer or color analyst? If he is good and can avoid those egregious remarks, then who cares what the secret Jack thinks?johngoldfinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322562737172405323noreply@blogger.com
