"Nike" under pressure to drop Manny Pacquiao.
You might've seen my previous posting about it. Mr Pacquiao is being assaulted by the leftie prog mob for remarks he allegedly made when he allegedly quoted Leviticus.
There's just one slight problem. The writer of that article, Granville Ampong, did the honourable thing and admitted (albeit under pressure) that he added that part. For reference, simply follow the link in my previous posting.
"The Grove" (Yes, the one in LA) banned Mr Pacquiao for life ... without bothering to do the least bit of due diligence.
Here's my question: Will Nike do the honourable thing and stand up to the prog mob who are lying and distorting the facts?
Or will they follow "The Grove's" cowardly lead and kowtow to those with an agenda, those who are willing to lie and distort the facts.
Sadly, my money says that Nike will follow "The Grove's" cowardly and dishonourable lead.
If Rick Caruso of "The Grove" (Twitter: @RickCarusoLA) had any personal honour he would immediately:
1) Get his facts straight and do the basic due diligence
2) Apologize to Mr Pacquaio (via Twitter since the smear was made via Twitter)
or, failing the first two
commit seppuku(*) (Japanese ritual suicide, usually by disembowelment.)
Of course, he'll probably do nothing. And that's sad.
(*) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku
" Part of the samurai bushido honor code, seppuku was either used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture), or as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed for other reasons that had brought shame to them.

The Grove bans Manny Pacquiao
The link: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/05/16/the-grove-bans-pacquiao-for-gay-marriage-views-boxer-denies-quote/
There's just one slight problem: Mr Pacquiao didn't actually say what he's being accused of saying! Indeed, the article itself states this!
" Granville Ampong, the writer of the article — but not Pacquiao himself — went on to quote a passage from the Old Testament book of Leviticus, which states that “If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.” " (emphasis and colour added)
Of course, if you've been following along on Twitter (or twitchy) you'd see that to those with an agenda, this little fact doesn't mean a damn thing. Mr Pacquiao did not say what he's being accused of saying.
That is the fact.
Pity that "The Grove" and others couldn't be bothered with the facts.
NOTE: I have contacted "The Grove" for their comment(s) and am awaiting their reply.

Obama Reverses Stance on Same-Sex Marriage
Well. President Obama has reversed his former stance on same-sex marriage. If you remember, in 2008 he said that he thought marriage should be between one man and one woman. NOW, he’s endorsed same-sex marriage.
To the press, this isn’t a flip-flop. Although the WH has admitted that it was gaffe-tastic Joe Biden who basically made them admit this now. They’d hoped to do it after the election.
But let’s pretend that this had been a Republican President. Here’s how (I think) the press would have handled it.
Q: Mr President, you used to believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman.
R: That’s correct. But after talking with people in the gay and lesbian community, my position has changed. It’s evolved.
Q: But don’t you think others will see this as yet another flip-flop? I mean, after all, it was only four years ago that you stated otherwise.
R: Well, as I said, my stance has evolved over the years.
Q: But don’t you see this as a flip-flop? Isn’t this really just to get the gay and lesbian community aboard your campaign for re-election? After all, you’ve changed your stance on a number of important issues so far. It seems …
A: As I said, my stance has evolved over the years. It’s not a flip-flop.
Q: But it was only four years ago, and I have the transcript here, that you stated that a marriage was between one man and one woman.
A:
And it would go from there. The press would pound our hypothetical Republican President for a flip-flop. For the Obamessiah, yet another pass.
Nothing new here.
