Former NBA player and sometime ESPN.com contributor Paul Shirley who averaged an entire 1.8 points while playing profesionally has decided he is much better being an unfeeling idiot who attacks a country that has just been hit by an earthqauke. He attacks Haiti for being poor and for a lack of birth control.
Here are some of the “highlights” of an article he wrote for Flipcollective.com:
First of all, kudos on developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Your commitment to human rights, infrastructure, and birth control should be applauded.
As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not re-build your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?
….I haven’t donated to the Haitian relief effort for the same reason that I don’t give money to homeless men on the street.

If I use history as my guide, I don’t think the people of Haiti will do much with my money either.
ESPN.com found his statements so repulsive they have cut ties with him and issued this brief statement:
He was a part-time freelance contributor. The views he expressed on another site of course do not at all reflect our company’s views on the Haiti relief efforts. He will no longer contribute to ESPN.
