No, it wouldn't.  I've already e-mailed wwe.com with my complaint.
And you should, too.  For Orton to say what he did and for WWE
to blatantly display that... that SIGN... TWICE!... was offensive in
every shape, matter, and form.  And to do so on the 50th anniversary
of Brown v Board of Education, which basically put the entire civil
rights movement into motion should not be lost on anyone, John.
I don't know if it was specifically scripted, or if Orton is hanging
around HHH and Flair a bit TOO much; but that kind of shit needs
to end, and it needs to end yesterday.  But given what they're doing
on Smackdown with Bradshaw's Latino-bashing, it looks like they're
just getting warmed up with the hate.  I dread seeing where they're
taking this...

D-Chance.
RSPW's most on-topic poster.
100% on topic... 100% of the time.
