K maybe not quite as sickening but close

He is now faced with a number of challenges right away as he tries to become a superstar, and fans should judge the player that Crabtree will be both on and off the field by whether he conquers them with passion or hopes that they eventually disintegrate. The mountains awaiting him are all of his doing of course, as he could have easily signed a contract with the Niners before training camp and started against the Arizona Cardinals on Week One. He has a lot of work to do, and a lot of changes to adjust to. How he handles his first year in the NFL should go a long way in determining whether he’ll be a headache for the rest of his career or the quiet and shy hard worker that I believe him to be. Crabtree was the primary option of Mike Leach’s pass-happy attack at Texas Tech, but he’ll now be playing in an offense that is centered on handoffs and tosses. Plus, it is not a stretch to say that he could end up being no more than a third or fourth wide receiver this year and see few passes thrown in his direction if he can’t quickly learn how to play against NFL secondaries. And he’ll also have to comprehend a significant amount of the intricacies of the team’s playbook in an extremely short period of time, which will require him to put in extra hours studying it. How quickly he grasps the Niners’ offense and how hard he works in practice in the first couple of weeks will be a significant indicator in whether he wants to be the best receiver in the league or just expects the game to come to him and feels as if he doesn’t have to earn the right to play. And Crabtree also has to fit in with a group of players that have been together since August and who realize that their chances of running away with the NFC West Title this season are high regardless of whether Crabtree is immediately the next Andre Johnson or not. By Michael Perry SYDNEY, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Australia launched a new anti-racism campaign on Wednesday, two days after national Australia Day celebrations were marred by drunken, racist violence on two Sydney beaches. Drunken youths, draped in Australian flags and wearing Australian flag tattoos, clashed with police at Manly Beach after harassing Asian beachgoers on January 26. Another group clashed with police at Cronulla, site of race riots in 2005, after predominately Anglo-Saxon residents attacked anyone of Middle Eastern appearance, believing they were Muslims intent on taking over the beach. "The flag is the symbol of our nation, it's not an excuse to get drunk and do loutish behaviour," Don Rowe, head of the Returned and Services League of Australia which represents soldiers, told local media on Wednesday.

"People have fought and died under that flag." Australia's Parliamentary Secretary for Multicultural Affairs, Laurie Ferguson, launched the "Diverse Australia Program" on Wednesday, saying it would support communities to tackle cultural, racial and religious intolerance. Under the programme, the government will also offer grants of up to A$5,000 ($3,330) to fund activities aimed at increasing tolerance. RACIST UNDERCURRENTS Racism has always been an undercurrent in Australian society and periodically bubbles to the surface. From 1901 to around 1973, Australia restricted non-white immigration under a White Australia policy. Australia's indigenous Aborigines were only counted in the population in 1967, prior to that they were legally classed as part of the country's "flora and fauna". Australia is a migrant nation, but in the late 1990s there was a flare-up of anti-migrant feeling when the One Nation party ran on a platform of restricting Asian migrants. And relations between non-Muslim Australians and Muslims have been strained since the Sept 11, 2001 attacks in the United States Australia deployed troops to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Police have said the racist flare-up on Monday was an "ugly, mutant form of nationalism". The rise in national pride has led to a boon for tattoo parlours, which report a big increase in demand for Australian flag or southern cross tattoos. "The truth of Australia Day was the Australian flag became a symbol of the mob," columnist Paul Kent wrote in Sydney's largest selling newspaper the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday ($1 A$1.50)(Editing by Dean Yates). ) Apparently smoking is full-blown illegal in San Francisco.Residents and locals affiliated with the Harding Park have their panties in a twist because of Michael Jordan and his stogie smoking on the course during The President's Cup.I say this because I do know in fact that some men in San Francisco indeed wear panties.I think that there are much bigger things to be worried about going on at the local golf course than Smoky Air Jordan.Jordan's involvement in the actual staff of the U.S President's cup team is just as sickening as what those evil bastards in New Hampshire did to the Cates family.O.K, maybe not quite as sickening but close.Air Jordan: the womanizing, cigar smoking, steak house owning has- been has a higher handicap than me! He claims to be a single digitcap-per but his scores are always in the high eighties when he plays in tournaments.LIAR!Jordan has tried out and never been accepted into any major amateur tournament.So Jordan sneaks in some pimps and ho's in his huge M.C. Hammer pants for Freddy Couples and viola he is on the staff!This whole process is not nearly as disturbing as what the Jordan floodgates have opened.Have you seen who has been in attendance at the cupSteroid King Barry Bonds was there, hanging with M.J and Tiger.Fellow famous cigaraficionado Bill Clinton was there to show Jordan some support for his stogie.Ugh, so this is what golf has come toThe real season is over and the P.G.A Tour has to tack on this extra event for what exactlyTo watch a bunch of guys from Orlando beat the piss out off the rest of the world on a golf course over-run by a bunch of criminals and has-beensI kept half expecting to see Al Capone, John Dillenger and Bugsy Seagal shooting up a fairway. It just had that vibe. The President's Cup is an insignificant, stupid tournament with no bearing on the real world at all.
