This is not cool

From the article:

According to a friend of Mrs. McNabb’s, “Go Cards” and other similar messages were burned into the front lawn one night last week. This had to be especially scary to the couple’s four-year-old daughter, Alexis, who was staying in the house with Roxie and the couple’s six-week-old twins. Apparently one of the culprits was identified after leaving a box at the scene with a mailing label affixed bearing his name and address, so we’re obviously not talking about criminal masterminds here. But it’s tough to imagine that anyone over the age of eight doesn’t understand that burning something on the lawn of a house occupied by African-Americans carries deeper social overtones that are highly disturbing.

    These guys are total idiots. Did you see how they were caught? One of these brain surgeons left a box with an address label on it. I know they’re a little slow out there, but wow.

    I think Philly fans would have poured beer on the 4 year old and flipped the car in the garage. [laughs!]

    Everything else I read didn’t bring race into this. Even McNabb knew it was a prank that was based solely on sports affiliation. I grow tired of race being brought up where it’s clearly not a factor.

    CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP)—Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb recently had to play defense at his offseason home in Chandler.

    Two Arizona Cardinals fans hung their team’s flag in a tree and burned “Go Cards,” “Go Kurt,” and “I heart AZ” in McNabb’s yard with diesel fuel, Chandler police Sgt. Joe Favazzo said Tuesday.

    Favazzo said the fans hung the flag Thursday, and McNabb laughed it off and even left it hanging.

    Then the fans returned Saturday and left a cardboard box in the driveway with “Go Cards” written on one side and “Beat Philly” on the other. McNabb laughed that off, too, when he discovered it at about midnight, Favazzo said.

    But McNabb stopped laughing when he went outside Saturday morning, smelled diesel fuel and realized someone had burned Cardinals cheers into his lawn, causing about $2,000 in damage.

    Favazzo said officers found an address label on the box that had been left, and it led to Chandler resident Rex Perkins, 37, who later admitted to the pranks.

    His co-worker, Ryan Hanlon, 28, also admitted to the pranks.

    Perkins and Hanlon were fingerprinted, photographed and cited for misdemeanor criminal damage.

    “When they decided to get diesel fuel out and start damaging the yard, they crossed the line,” Favazzo said.

    37??!!! What ever happened to being a damn adult? Jesus Christ.

    I didn’t even know the Cardinals had fans that cared about the team that much. Jumping on the bandwagon can make you do some crazy things.

    I hate the Eagles, but I agree that this was absolutely unecessary. Don’t act like Eagles fans, AZ fans.
