It is Getting Worse

Colin Campbell has made a statement defending his honour and integrity- see here.  Look at the last statement attributed to him in the article.  It's pretty clear that he (like Nick Kypreos)  reads this blog.  Good, this article may help him.

I don't think he understands what we have a problem with here.  It isn't that we are offended by the word "faker".  It isn't that he should have used the term "embellisher of penalties".  The problem is that by using any terms of this nature he is showing bias.  Here is a quick tip - sentences that are built like "He/she is a Blanker" is an attempt to attach a label someone, usually in a derogatory manner.  Lets see how it works - "He is fat".  That isn't candor, it is labeling.  "He is a liberal" (especially when seen on Fox News) is a label.  All labeling is a personal interpretation of someone's actions or words.  By using the words that he did, Campbell expressed a predisposition to act against the player.  This is unforgivable in a position of power.

And Yes, Mr. Campbell, you do make decisions in a vacuum. See my previous post.
