Still I want to clarify two quick points: You write: "I think you imply that considering him guilty is somehow un-American." Considering him guilty is NOT un-American -- but treating him as if he were might be. You write of "the premise that the HoF is “making history” by displaying the branded ball." My point though was that by not publicly condemning Ecko's actions and by agreeing IN ADVANCE that they will accept & display the defaced ball, they may as well be branding it themselves. That's all I got for now -- I'm going to wait and see what Hulkower & his 24-inch intellectual pythons drop. And again, thank you for engaging in the debate -- the respect is certainly mutual. Nick —

My tag team partner Steve Hulkower is planning to take up the next round in a response to your response to my response to your response.

Still I want to clarify two quick points:

You write: “I think you imply that considering him guilty is somehow un-American.”

Considering him guilty is NOT un-American — but treating him as if he were might be.

You write of “the premise that the HoF is “making history” by displaying the branded ball.”

My point though was that by not publicly condemning Ecko’s actions and by agreeing IN ADVANCE that they will accept & display the defaced ball, they may as well be branding it themselves.

That’s all I got for now — I’m going to wait and see what Hulkower & his 24-inch intellectual pythons drop. And again, thank you for engaging in the debate — the respect is certainly mutual.
