NBA star and latest overly indulged reprobate Ja Morant has a lot in common with the late General Charles de Gaulle.
This has been a good week for my hobby. I collect odd public statements, those spoken in defiance of how the speakers generally operate. After all, people are now paid good money — or at least a lot of money — to make no sense, thus they stoke our sense of the absurd.
Ja Morant has not played in a Grizzlies game since appearing on Instagram Live with a gun on Saturday.“I’m going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.” Well, not quite. Despite an army believed to be the best on the European continent, France in 1940 surrendered faster than it could flee. De Gaulle, operating as the self-assigned leader of Free France — mostly out of London — could not rescue Paris until its United Kingdom and United States allies sacrificed blood, treasure, ordnance, food, medicine, logistics and, in the final days, gasoline, to the French.
And so the statement released by the virtueless on behalf of their immediate need of virtue persists. “Thoughts and prayers. This puts everything into perspective. That’s not who I am,” and, finally, “A zero tolerance policy .”But those barely scratch the surface of the Doozie Collection of prepared statements in service to sports.
