Though I'd rather not drive any traffic to his ass-wipe reportage, or to his big Obama-loving rag of a McClatchey fish-wrap, the Charlotte Obscurer, if you want an example of biased, control-the-court-of-public-opinion drivel, look no further than today's column by Caulton Tudor. (Sorry, I was gonna link to it, but you'll have to look it up yourself...See the sports section and bring your own barf bag.)
Tudor suggests that Butch Davis should resign or be fired as "the single most necessary step in the rehabilitation process for the school and the football program."
Of course, to make that assertion, you'd have to already believe in Davis' culpability in the matter, and to believe somehow that completely skipping the rest of the NCAA investigation to jump straight into (self-) punishment phase has any merit whatsoever. Or you have to have personal reasons for wanting that to happen.
Tudor delivers his proposal as if it's somehow valient for Davis to fall on his sword, for the sake of the University's image, but you really have to read with mental earplugs to not hear the Anti-Carolina venom dripping on his keyboard.
Truly, does his body of work really suggest to anyone any measure of objectivity?
He seems to believe that if the players remain without eligibility and a coach has been dismissed, then all the coaches are hiding additional guilt, and by extension the University and all its students are also guilty, and every fan probably, too.
I never read his articles, because I know what I'll get if the subject comes near UNC: thinly veiled animosity. I only clicked that link today because of the egregious headline and the consideration of ridiculing it in this space.
And to a point, I generally say, who cares? Let the Pusspack and Blue-Pillow-Biting-Devils have their own propogandist, so long he can either keep to a reasonable level of bile-spewage or acknowledge his bias. For someone like him to presume the authority over someone else's career, though, is insulting to anyone with a modicum of objectivity. Where the hell does this guy get off? What right does he have to call for Butch Davis' job, anymore than he has calling for yours or mine?
What divine edict placed you ahead of the investigative process and distribution of punishment, sir? Mighty presumptuous of you Tudor, and mighty disgraceful. I think you should quit immediately.
Of course, I submit that most readers already fired you and your paper long ago.
