In honor of jimmy 'the greek'
synderIt was last night as i
was feeling tired and ready to
go to bed that i turned on the
tv and saw a most interesting
documentary on espn classic
regarding a man whom i
remember well from my time in
america.The man's real name
being"Dimetrios georgios
synodinos"Though he was
and probably is still better
known as jimmy"The
greek".In writing this
however i must confess that
jimmy"The greek"Was
a man who in all frankness, i
at first did not like very
much if at all.This due to his
personality and his almost
never picking the teams i
wanted to win yet with time i
did learn to appreciate his
insight in to the sports he
talked about and i can even
honestly say;That him as a
person as well. Jimmy being a
man who really looked deeply
in to the sports he covered
and gave reasons based on
knowledge of the game as
opposed to just saying that a
team was favor to win because
they were better and leaving
it at that.Jimmy making it
apparent that he understood
sports and knew about the
players who played the game
and though i did not always
agree with his predictions;I
could see his logic which was
always clear as to why he had
picked one team over
another.Jimmy's logic being
the one i always followed
along with what he had said
about both teams even if at
the end of it all, i sometimes
though not that often;Saw
things differently than he
did. Of course like with any
sport, one never really knows
with a 100% certainty before
hand whose going to win but i
would say that jimmy"The
greek"Allowed me to see a
lot about american football
through his analyzing the
games that he talked about in
a way which i found not only
educational but
fascinating.This due to the
way, he did not tend to over
simplify things but could tell
in a manner which was clear
and to the point;What were a
team's strengths and
weaknesses.Thus telling what
features teams had that would
help them win a game while not
leaving out those which
perhaps could be taken
advantage of by the other team
and always i might add without
prejudice but rather with
impartiality.Jimmy of course
never forgetting what
strengths a weaker team had
that might win the game for
them.I, for my part must even
say that my articles connected
to football(Of the kind played
in south america and
europe)Are very much
influenced by jimmy the
greek's style of analyzing a
game, as well as both teams
from all angles and picking
the team he felt was more
likely to win which of course
like in life;Is not always the
way it goes.I for instance
picking correctly on many of
last year's world cup matches
though i frankly speaking did
not see spain winning the
world cup though i never ruled
it out as a possibility.
Looking back on it, i can say
that jimmy"The
greek"Was the one who
taught me how not to be
emotional when picking which
team to bet on.This meaning
that though my sympathies may
lye with one team, i should
bet on the team which was the
strongest even if they were
not necessarily the team i
wanted to win.Of course, it
was also from jimmy"The
greek"That i learnt that
no matter how favorite a team
was or how much i believed or
wanted them to win;It was far
from being a guarantee that
they would win. As for my
relationship with the variety
of Football i
call"American
Football" (I being one to
associate the
word"Football"With
what i grew up in italy), it
started back in 1978 when I
saw a film about the Dallas
Cowboy cheerleaders which I
really did not pay much
attention to apart from its
being on TV and having
something to do with the sport
of football.Football being
something which i absolutely
knew nothing about at the
time, not even the rules nor
the object of the game.Of
course having been born in
america and lived there for
sometime, i knew that it was a
sport played with colorful
helmets;Where big guys tackled
each other in order to get at
a very oddly shaped ball.This
pretty much being the extent
of my knowledge concerning
american football apart from a
player whose name was
o.J.Simpson;Who i only knew
from a drawing a school mate
of mine made of him for a
drawing contest we both
entered. I not even being
fully aware of what exactly it
was thatSimpson did on the
Football field. It was however
this"Cheerleader"Fil
m which my sister was watchIng
at the time which let me see
that there was a football team
In the states called
the"Dallas
cowboys".It beIng that
very year that both my sisters
and my brothers-In-Law got
together to watch the super
bowl between the dallas
cowboys and the pittsburg
steelers.This a game which the
dallas cowboys In fact lost by
35-31 but did manage to come
back after trailIng 35-17 to
at least make the game
InterestIng.I even remember
the enthusiasm, my spanish
brother-In-Law felt as he
watched the game though for my
part;I did not even watch a
second of the game but did
listen to his occasional
report on how things were
going.This while i worked on a
book report for school in the
next room. I, for what
concerned me was 11 years old
at the time and basically only
enjoyed the game of european
football(Which for some
strange reason in america was
known as soccer)Which i played
and watched on
television.European football
being not only the only sport
i knew anything about but
played which prompted me to
want to buy myself a pair of
shoes for playing it.This
being a coincidence that both
sports apart from having the
same name or at least as far i
was concerned;Also used the
same type of footwear.This
being something i found out
about when i went to buy
football shoes and the
salesman tried to sell me a
pair which he said were worn
by some guy named"Roger
Staubach";Whom i really
had no idea who he was.It
being at that moment that the
salesman gave me a very
strange look and said if i
knew about the super bowl
which i told him that the
steelers had won it by
35-31.The salesman however
wanting to make a sale asked
if i knew who had lost in the
super bowl to which i
said"Yes, the dallas
cowboys"To which he said
well"Staubach"Plays
for the cowboys.Of course to
me this meant absolutely
nothing as i can imagine what
it would have meant to him if
i had told him who kempes or
rossi was.The shoes did look
and feel good and above all
were not expensive which made
me buy them even if they were
not made to play the sort of
football which i wanted them
for though i could not see any
difference between these and
those which were.I had also
learnt who roger staubach was
which for some reason stuck in
my mind. The summer came and
the summer went and i must say
that the football shoes i
bought turned out to be very
good for the kind of football
which is played in europe.I
being able to play well with
them and control the ball as
well as with any other and
after some time i even forget
that they were not made
specially for the sport i was
using them for.It was however
as can be expected after the
summer that the fall came
along with thanksgiving which
we spent at my sister's
house.All was as it always had
been yet for some reason the
television set was on a
football game between the
dallas cowboys and the houston
oilers.Of course if i knew
very little about the cowboys
apart from their name and that
they had cheerleaders;I knew
even less about the houston
oilers.Of course, i did figure
out that they too were from
texas given their name but
apart from that, i really knew
nothing about them yet i
started watching the game to
at least try to figure out
what the aim of the game
was.This apart from not having
anything else to do or watch.
As it, at first simply
appeared to be a bunch of big
men simply trying to jump on
top of the one who was
carrying this strange looking
ball which i even remember
having once as a small child
but did not know exactly what
one was supposed to do with
it.It however was after a few
minutes that i figured out for
myself that there was point to
everything they did or perhaps
like shakespeare said"A
method to the
madness".The aim of the
game clearly being to go down
the field by either passing
the ball or running it and in
to the other team's end zone
for touchdowns which were
worth six point after which an
extra point made it
seven.There being the
possibility that if one did
not get a touchdown;One could
get a field goal which was
worth three points. It also
did not take me long to pick
up on certain expressions such
as 1st and 10 or 2nd and
whatever along with other
details of the game yet i as a
stranger to the game;Also
noticed other things many
americans perhaps had never
really stopped to think
about.The first of these being
why they called
it"Football"In the
first place.This being a sport
where the kicking part of the
game was clearly not as
important as the part one did
with one's hands;Such as
throwing or catching or
running the ball.In fact, most
of the play involving the use
of the hands rather than the
feet with the kicking part
only comprising at most 5 % of
the game in either punts,
kick-Offs, extra points or
field goals yet the sport was
called football.This like the
game i grew with in europe
though it did not involve the
use of the feet as much yet
regardless of reason such was
this sport called. Another
thing i noticed was that this
was a game that to a certain
extent was unfair to some of
the players;Who actually never
got to touch the ball during
the game.This being the case
with those who played on
defense as they almost never
got to touch the ball while
those on the offensive line,
in fact never did touch the
ball;Unless they picked it up
after somebody fumbled it.Of
course in european football
not everybody got equal time
with the ball but at least
every player got to touch the
ball at some point during the
game. I must say that i can
not claim to have particularly
liked the game or disliked it
but it was much more
interesting than i had
previously thought and a lot
less boring than baseball.I
also wanted to see if
staubach(A most odd name which
i had never heard before or
since)Was as good as the man
who sold me my football shoes
had told me he was;Not that
that was even the reason i
bought them.Of course, i also
wanted to see the cowboys play
because i had seen a film
about their cheerleaders.
Another reason for my wanting
to see a game of"American
football"Was that i did
know it to be a very popular
sport or at least in america
which did make me curious to
see what it was all about.This
so when i heard talk about the
sport or references to it;I
would at least understand what
was being discussed.As for the
game, it started with roger
staubach throwing a long
touchdown pass which put his
team up by 7-0.This being a
most impressive play in the
way he managed to be so
accurate with his pass yet i
soon saw that it was the way
most quarterbacks threw the
ball. It however was on the
next play that something
happened which i do not think
i will ever forget.It was a
player by the name of earl
campbell who though not nearly
as big as some of the other
players on the field managed
to run over 50 yards or so for
a touchdown of his own.It
really being amazing the way
he managed to get by so many
players with force yet with a
will and determination to
include speed as well as the
ability to find open spaces
between cowboy players.All of
which were also fast and
trying to do what ever they
could to bring him
down.Staubach had been
impressive but not as much as
earl campbell, who simply
seemed to be an unstoppable
force of nature in one single
player.Earl campbell being
very competitive on the field
yet when showed on the
sideline appeared to be
friendly and likeable as he
waved to the audience. The
game was interesting and as it
continued, the same thing(Or
at least according to my
memory)Repeated itself right
away.Roger staubach threw
another long distance
touchdown pass and early
campbell ran for an even
longer touchdown to tie up the
score at 14 a piece.I must
admit that before this game, i
did not have the slightest
clue as to who earl campbell
was yet it was during this
particular thanksgiving day
game that he really impressed
me.As for the game, the oilers
would go on to win it which is
the way i hoped it would end
yet apart from this;I can say
this was the first football
game i ever saw. In all this i
would also find out on that
day that it was a tradition
for the cowboys and lions to
play on every thanksgiving
day.This seeming strange to me
and still is that a national
holiday which has nothing to
do with football;Would be
reserved exclusively for two
teams to play on but that is
the way it was and probably
still is. The following day
after truly enjoying the game
though more because of earl
campbell than anything else;I
bought a copy of the new york
post to read about the game i
had seen.It being written that
the game had really been a
match-Up not so much between
two teams but two
players.These players being
campbell and staubach with
campbell having come out on
top.It however was after
having read about the game
which had been that i decided
to read about upcoming games.
This being the first time, i
saw what i would eventually
find out was a spread sheet of
which teams were the favorites
and the underdogs and by how
many points.I, naturally
understood what a favorite as
opposed to an underdog was yet
i was clueless to that the
number between the teams was
which was marked as points and
what purpose if any did it
have.I however intrigued by
what i saw asked my father,
who actually tended to bet on
football games and basketball
what that number was.My father
explaining to me that if a
team was favorite by 7 points,
then they had to win by 8
points or more for those who
bet on them to win and if they
won by 7, then it was as if
the game had ended in a draw
and if they won by 6 points or
less or lost;Then those who
bet on that team had lost
their wager. This seeming like
an amazing system indeed
though it was inspired by the
fact that in contrast to the
football i grew up with,
american football along with
basketball could make one team
a favorite to win by as many
as 18 or more points.This
naturally being impossible
with european football since
matches usually ended at 2-1
or 3-1 or scores of the
sort;It being almost never
that a team won by a
difference of 4 goals or
more.This making sports like
football and basketball ideal
for betting on since with a
good point spread some might
risk betting on a team which
practically stood no chance of
winning yet this did not
matter to the person betting
on them.This given how all he
or she needed was for that
team to lose by less points
than the spread to win the
bet. My father however telling
in this conversation that
there was some guy who was
called jimmy"The
greek"Snyder who set such
odds for gamblers to follow.My
father telling me that
jimmy"The greek"Was
the man who in america not
only decided who was favorite
but by how much yet not only
in american football but in
most sports played in america
such as baseball, boxing,
hockey, basketball and most
importantly or at least as far
as my father was
concerned;Horse racing.My
father telling me that the
greek's tips had made him a
lot of money with the way he
was able to analyze things in
dept and logic which was never
based on emotion but
reason.This so typical of
other great greeks who had
given the world logic itself.
It was at this point that i
became very much interested in
not only football but
jimmy"The greek".I
even finding out that he in
fact was greek as his real
name was"Dimetrios
georgios synodinos"Which
was just about as greek as one
could get.Dimetrios's family
coming from the greek island
of chios in the aegean sea yet
what interested me more was
how he was able to with so
much accuracy establish the
guidelines on who was the
favorite and by how much.This
even making me curious about
sports wagering which i would
go on to do on american
football games as often as
possible.It being fun as well
as at times profitable to bet
on games and it did not take
long for me to find a bookie
whose minimum bet was only ten
dollars and who only took a 50
cent commission but that is
another matter. The weekend
after thanksgiving came and i
woke up extra early to watch
the nfl on cbs and who should
i see predicating the games
but jimmy"The
greek".The nfl today
being a pre-Game show full of
information regarding the
upcoming games of the day.This
show perhaps not being so
interesting with people, who
seemed to lack anything
regarding personality or
charisma yet at least it was
informative.Naturally
jimmy"The
greek"Being the one who
did not just limit himself to
talking about what happened
but analyzing why and how. As
for the other people on the
show, i remember a woman by
the name of phyllis george;Who
was clearly an anglo saxon in
not having any facial features
to make her attractive or even
interesting for that matter
yet she had been miss
america.This perhaps being her
only qualification to be on
the show apart from
representing the typical
housewife, who so much wants
to watch sports with her
husband and children but for
the most part knows nothing
about what she is
watching;Apart from who wins
or loses.Phyllis george also
lacking in the personality
department which would have
made her at least interesting
to watch even if she did very
little apart from introducing
the show, reading the scores
and agreeing with everybody. I
also remember another stiff
bore on"The nfl
today"By the name of
brent musburger, whom i
referred to
as"Mouseburger"Given
his lack of personality or
anything which even remotely
resembled wit or knowledge
concerning the sports he
covered.
"Mouseberger"Seeming
like somebody who had no
opinion of his own and waited
to hear what others were
saying so he could go along
with them.This perhaps being
the reason he had gotten on
the show apart from perhaps
having that typically anglo
saxon shyness about him which
at least does not disturb.It
being mouseberger, who several
years later took advantage of
jimmy"The
greek's"Dismissal over so
called"Racist
statements"To make
several not only untrue but
unfair comments about the man
he had once worked with.There
was also another man on this
pre-Game show whose name was
irv cross, who seemed pleasant
enough and actually knew
something about the sport he
covered though perhaps was on
the show more for the studio
not to appear racist than
anything else. Jimmy"The
greek"Being the one who
explained everything and
seemed to know everything.The
greek being typical of the
expression"I may not
always be right but i am never
wrong".As it was from him
that i learnt how so much of
what one sees on the field of
play is influenced by that
which one almost never sees on
it but has just as much
importance as what one
actually does.It being this
feature about him which i must
admit to not liking at first
but eventually getting used to
and even learning to
appreciate. I also remember
that particular sunday as
being the first one i spent
watching football games yet
was very much disappointed to
find out that i would always
have to watch the jets and the
giants.This due to their being
the local teams and cbs and
nbc having an obligation to
broadcast their games when
ever they played on sundays.As
for the games, i must say that
i did find them interesting
and even enjoyed watching them
though what i really liked
most of all was getting the
results of other games and
even seeing the touchdowns as
they came. The game was not so
bad though i would have
preferred to watch other teams
besides the jets and giants
yet what i really could not
stand was a certain loud mouth
commentator by the name of
john madden.This a man who for
some reason felt the need to
make his own sound effects
when ever he described plays
by
shouting"Wham"Or&quo
t;Pow"In a similar
fashion of the batman serial
of the late sixties.John
madden, a man who apart from
being loud and obnoxious had a
tendency to constantly
repeat"this player is
thinking thisOrthat"As if
he could possibly know the
thoughts of a player on the
field.I also seeing that john
madden was stubborn enough to
have a play repeated as many
times as it took for him
wholesale jerseys to make a
point which he was usually
wrong about anyway. It was
also on that sunday that i saw
football on nbc and actually
enjoyed it more than i did on
cbs.Nbc commentators like
bryant gumbel having
infinitely more interesting
personalities than what i
called the"Sticks in the
mud"On cbs with
jimmy"The
greek"Being the sole
exception.All of which making
me wish that jimmy"The
greek"Could be on nbc
which would have made them the
perfect station yet
unfortunately that was not the
case. With time and after
seeing a lot more games in the
next few season's, i started
liking other players such as
jim plunket, vince ferragamo,
ron jaworski, john elway, mark
gastineau and a few
others;Whose names escape me
at the moment.I however
despite liking some players, i
must say that my favorites
definitely were joe montana
and earl campbell though
perhaps more campbell than
montana.Earl campbell in a
strange way reminding me of
the great military leader,
hannibal.It being campbell,
who like hannibal had enormous
ability and talent yet at the
end did not win the big one
simply because he was on a
side which given its weakness
was bound to lose.It being
hannibal who at the end was
defeated by rome in the same
way in which earl campbell
never went on to play in the
super bowl;Much less win it.
Looking back on football, i
can say it was a sport which i
did not really like all that
much or at least not as much
the football i grew with in
south america and europe yet i
did like certain individual
players which made the game
worth watching.It being a case
that when those players
retired i lost interest in the
sport like i also lost
interest in basketball when
bird retired or in formula one
after ayrton senna died. As
for jimmy"The
greek"I did continue to
follow his advice when ever
placing a bet on either a
football game or pugilistic
event and though i did not
always agree with his choice
of winner;I could see his
reasoning as being sound.This
despite my not always seeing
eye to eye with The greek on
the eventual outcome.I even
remember a certain mr.Fuji
saying that jimmy"The
greek"Had picked piper to
beat hulk hogan in a wrestling
match which did seem most odd
yet it shows how big his
popularity. By 1988 The
greek's popularity was not
what it once had been and
there was talk that he would
be let go from cbs because he
was getting to difficult to
handle and wanted too much.Of
course by then there were
other bookmakers and perhaps
The greek's connections were
getting old yet it was on
martin luther king's birthday
of that year that he made his
most controversial
statement.It being a reporter
who asked him while on camera
questions relating to why
blacks are supposedly better
athletes than whites.It being
jimmy"The greek"Who
made the following comments.
"The black is a better
athlete to begin with because
he's been bred to be that way,
because of his high thighs and
big thighs that goes up into
his back, and they can jump
higher and run faster because
of their bigger thighs and
he's bred to be the better
athlete because this goes back
all the way to the civil war
when during the slave trade'n
the big.The owner.The slave
owner would, would, would,
would breed his big black to
his big woman so that he could
have ah, ah big, ah big, ah
big black kid see. ". I
for my part, also remember the
greek's adding that white
athletes had to work harder to
keep up with blacks yet whites
were lazy.It being this
comment which supposedly got
him fired from cbs but then
cbs also did claim that they
had reached this decision even
before this incident.I however
along with a lot of the people
i knew at the time, do not see
jimmy the greek's comment as
either being racist or even
untruthful or at least not
when looking at what he in
fact did say.It being
sensationalistic news rags
like murdoch's new york post
to come out with false and
misleading headlines
like"The greek blasts
blacks"Which influenced
how many saw the incident.This
being most typical from a man
whose newspapers have been
recently linked with phone
hacking in order to get
stories. It perhaps also being
the fact that his comment came
on martin luther king's
birthday which made things
worse yet if one reads what he
said in a nonbiased way;What
is he saying that is not
true?It is true that blacks in
america were slaves and that
slave owners only tended to
buy the strongest people they
could find in africa.As those
were the only kind which could
survive the long trips across
the atlantic ocean.It also
being a matter of historical
reality that slave owners in
the south(Some of which were
black themselves)Did want
their slaves to have many
strong children.This making it
common practice for slave
owners to do as the greek said
in putting their strongest
black women along with their
strongest black men in order
to get what they thought would
be stronger children to work
for them. This perhaps what
jimmy the greek said was not
pleasant but that hardly makes
it a lie.Of course looking at
it from a none emotional point
of view, the greek does not
defend this practice which in
fact was used in the south but
claims it as part of the
reason why blacks are better
athletes or at least why he
feels they are.It being his
statement which if one really
thinks about it, is really
attacking whites or slave
owners who committed such acts
against blacks than blacks for
having this done to them.It
being this the part of his
statement which i felt really
offended yet not blacks but
whites when he said that they
were lazy. As for the part
about blacks having bigger
thighs this perhaps could be
true yet it is a fact that
blacks are faster runners than
whites or any other race for
that matter;As they have just
about won every single race in
the history of the olympics
between 100 and 400
meters.This being the
distances which test speed as
opposed to longer distances
which test endurance.It being
in the longer races where
whites along with other races
have a chance yet in the
shorter distance;It is men
like lewis, johnson, bolt and
other black athletes who have
definitely dominated.This also
being the case with the long
jump as it is with races
involving speed that blacks do
dominate yet weather or not
this is because of the
reason's given by the greek is
another question.I for my
part, imagine that this like
many other questions has the
experts divided yet if it
turns out that the greek was
wrong than would that make him
a racist?It then being a
matter of the greek having
made the statement that he did
being not guided by malice but
by erroneous information. I
feel that what angered the
american press and the media
along with many americans was
not what he said about blacks
which if anything makes them
sound like victims of slavery
but what he said about whites
breading blacks to be stronger
so they could work on their
plantations.It being this
which really got whites in
america angry along with his
having said that white
athletes are lazy and usually
get on teams because of the
color of their skin rather
than any real ability to play
their chosen sport. Of course,
one could also say that the
greek was a victim of the
political correctness which
was coming out in america at
the time which made it that
any comment;One made about
race would be seen as racist
even if it was not in any way
derogatory.It being whites who
perhaps wanted to hide their
own racist feeling which made
them unfairly attack people
like jimmy the greek or
campanis for their remarks
just to be seen as fighting
racism.I even remember an
episode of the hbo
program"First and
ten"In which a coach when
asked why there were not many
black quarterbacks in football
claims that perhaps the reason
was that they excelled in so
may other positions that they
had not yet had a chance to
proof how well they could
handle the quarterback
position but he did feel they
would get their chance sooner
or later.It being his comment
which made it that he was
automatically labeled as a
racist in what in fact became
more of a witch hunt or an
another episode of mccarthyism
than a real attempt at
tackling racism in america.
Another thing is that many
times people do not read
everything in a statement or
an article carefully but make
judgments from a just few
words.This being exactly what
promoted many negative
comments on my article
claiming that same sex couples
should not be allowed to marry
simply because it would lead
to them being able to adopt
children and no other reason.I
even going out of my way in
claiming that my opposition to
same sex marriages was not for
religious reasons or because i
felt that they should not have
the right to be together but
simply because i did not feel
that children should ever be
adopted by same sex
marriages.This automatically
prompting some people to make
comments on my website that i
was a bigot along with many
other insults which included
that all my articles should be
taken off google as well as
other internet searchers.This
in spite of my making it very
clear that i had nothing
against homosexuals as people
or their wanting to be
together in the way they
chose.This as long as it did
not include marriage which i
simply felt would only serve
to make it possible for them
to someday adopt children.It
being the adoption of children
and only their adopting
children which i was against
yet some obviously did not go
to the trouble of reading so
many details before attacking
me with numerous insults. I
did find most decent and i
will not
say"White"Of him but
definitely civilized when irv
cross came out in the greek's
defense and said that in all
the years he worked with him
so closely;Not once did he
hear him make a racist comment
or show any attitudes of the
same.The greek's dismissal
also being unfair in that
howard cosell, a few years
prior had referred to a black
player on the washington
redskins as being
a"Little monkey"Yet
did not suffer as a result of
it.This clearly showing the
difference in standards.As
jessie jackson did claim in 84
that new york was
really"Hymietown"And
did not suffer as a result of
it other than and not winning
the presidential democratic
nominee which he really had no
chance of winning anyway. Of
course, i in all this ask
myself what did they expect
the greek to say when
responding to a question
regarding black athletes?After
nfl kids jerseys all, any
answer he could give by the
very nature of the question
would always be considered
racial or perhaps even racist
by those who wished to see it
as such for their own
purposes.It making me wonder
if a lot of these questions
were not asked to trap people
on an issue which was bound to
cause controversy.This being
the case when a person in the
reagan administration was
labeled as a racist simply
because when asked if he
believed in hiring
minorities;He replied that he
had a jew, a black, a woman
and a crippled on his staff.It
being questions like this
which were not so much
intended to get information
but to serve as a form of
entrapment in order for a
person to say something which
could be used against them
later on. In all this, i would
also like to add that i feel
that the only thing jimmy the
greek did was remind america
of a past which it was trying
to forget yet he brought out
in to the open what perhaps
both blacks and whites did not
want hear.Blacks because of
the wrong which had been done
to them while whites for the
wrong they had done yet in no
way, shape or form did the
greek attempt to glorify
slavery or the historically
known actions of slave owners.
One, in all this could say
that jimmy the greek had the
misfortune of making his
statements which were not
discount sports jerseys really
derogatory in any way or at
least not in my opinion(Though
this all depends on our point
of view)At a time when america
was going through what i would
really call a climate of
perhaps even fear over things
of that nature.This even
causing books
like"Adventures of
huckleberry finn"To be
banned from some school
libraries for its use of the
word"Nigger"Though
it also shows huckleberry fin
and jim(A black
character)Being very much good
friends. In conclusion, i
would say that i do not
believe jimmy The greek to
have been a racist of any kind
and even if he was wrong in
his facts;That still does not
qualify him as one.It being
cbs along with those in the
media who found it so useful
at the time to simply point
the accusing finger of racism
at jimmy"The
greek"Instead of trying
to explain what he said which
if one looks at it strictly
from the factual point of view
was not entirely untruthful. I
however for what are my
feelings toward jimmy"The
greek"Would thank him for
explaining the game of
football so well and the many
tips he gave me which did win
me some money back in the
early and mid 80s.It also
being his insight in to the
sports he covered which i feel
most definitely influenced my
style of both analyzing sports
as well as writing about
them.It being with all
sincerity that i now
say"And#933;And#960;And#9
72;And#955;And#959;And#953;And
#960;And#959;And#963;And#964;A
nd#959;And#954;And#959;And#956
;And#956;And#940;And#964;And#9
53;And#931;And#965;And#957;And
#959;And#948;And#953;And#957;A
nd#972;And#962;"To the
man whom i felt was in so many
ways cheated by life in not
only having to endure the pain
of losing both his aunt and
mother when his uncle took
them from him with a gun but
the perhaps greats suffering
any human being can go
through.This being the death
of three of his five children
to the horrible killer of
youth known as cystic
fibrosis.
