Spike Lee's comment about New Orleans Saints a load of garbage

504state · 08-12-2010, 03:44 PM

Um actually Spike Lee has done a hell of a lot to raise awareness for our city. Just because someone isn't a fan of our team does not make them a horrible human being. If anything I take it as a compliment that a fan of another team has the ability to come outside of himself and say something nice about our team. Those of you who are hating on this dude need to take a long hard look at themselves and admit the real reason for your distain.

Ditto.. spike is nothing more than a bandwagon fan. I dont respect people that dump their team like he has many times just to cheer for a popular one.
He needs to be a Dallas fan.

Not starting any crap with you....but I dislike him because I feel he is a douchebag. No need to do any long hard looking at myself.

Maybe someone needs to take a long hard look at themselves for insinuating that the reason people don't like him is maybe racial.

If I took a long, hard look at myself I might faint. Yes there is more than one way to read that. LOL

Spike has done some good, but he's a self-appointed something or other. He's a blowhard. He's one of these people that thinks his celebrity made him insightful and wise. Quite the contrary. His celebrity, as it does with most famous people, has given him a platform from which he continues to put his ignorance on display.

I don't hate the guy, I just see him as one of many who thinks what he says matters more because he makes movies. Cue Clooney, Fonda, that stupid Dixie Chicks ho, Linda Ronstadt, and all the other "we know what's best for you because we're famous" fools.

I yawn. I change the channel. I think for myself.

Oh, and Zooey does not like Spike.

I liked Sipke Lee's comments. People who are hating on him might dislike his comments, or they might just dislike him. I don't know enough about people on this forum to judge that. But in my view, at least, Mr. Lee's comments seemed like a compliment to the determined and driven nature of Saints players, and I agree with him.

As for me personally I'm just tired of hearing what he has to say about every damn thing. Between Spike, Jesse and Al, you'd think the rest of us couldn't go to the can without their take on the situation. LOL

We could probably add Rush Limbaugh to that list.

Maybe, only Rush is famous for politics, and I'd venture a guess that regardless of which way he leans he probably has a better grasp of that business than Spike.
