In Sunday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins, Raven fullback Le’Ron McClain pretty clearly spit in the face of Miami linebacker Channing Crowder–an infraction of the rules, and probably a serious health code violation as well. After the game, a furious Crowder expressed his anger that none of the officials saw the infraction and called a penalty. “A guy just spit in my face! I don’t give a damn about [teammate] Karlos [Dansby] pulling somebody’s facemask. Like they didn’t see [quarterback] Chad Henne get hit twice when he slid. Yeah, a little Stevie Wonder and Anne Frank … Is that the blind girl? Helen Keller … I don’t know who the fuck Anne Frank is. I’m mad right now. I’m not as swift as I usually am.” For future reference: Anne Frank, the diarist and victim of Nazi persecution, is pictured at left; Helen Keller, the person who overcame multiple disabilities to become a great humanitarian, is at right.
