I've been waiting for this.
Over the weekend a practitioner of the stick and ball arts analogized his chosen profession in the following way:
"This is war."
Where is Raspberry Beret! Where is Boy-Toy Soldier Bryan Sikes' screed against David Ortiz!
Does this man fight is replaced with Can this girly-man fight? Take away his guns, take away his body armor, take away his brain bucket--Can the man throw a punch? Can he take a punch? Or would that seemingly strong jaw be exposed as a glass jaw? Sikes is only a "Bad Ass" when he has a bazooka and the bear doesn't.
Gweneth Paltrow did nothing to deserve this and she did not deserve this. Military tropes are so common: the War on Poverty, Soldiers for Christ (2 Timothy 2:3), the War on AIDS. The Few, the Proud, the Phony take offense only when it is in their interests to take offense. Bryan Sikes is one of those. Bryan Sikes is a Potemkin soldier, a tin-horn cowardly lion, a whimpering bully, a chicken-hawk. Sikes will pick a fight with, he will sucker-punch, Gwyneth Paltrow: aloof, regal, loopy, goopy, consciously uncoupling Gwyneth Paltrow--an easy target. He will sucker-punch Paltrow because he can. He will not sucker-punch Big Papi or the Bible. Those would be wars Sikes could not win, he would get pulverized. Sikes can't fight.
