Who is Reggie Fowler?
Reggie Fowler is nobody that I ever heard of in my entire life until 30 minutes ago, but he is someone I expected has been around for a while. Well, of course he has. How else could he come up with $600 million to buy the Minnesota Vikings? People are going to make a big deal out of his becoming the first black owner in the NFL, but really. Didn't we know that this was inevitable?
I've only got one snarky thing to say. His business is in Arizona, the state without an MLK holiday. Saints preserve us! How could that be!?
Yay capitalism!

The content/text part of your website takes far too long to load. I get the orange graphic quick enough, but after seeing it 25 times I'd really much rather go straight to content.

You and I remember how all that mess went down in Arizona, but color me surprised: it looks like they went and got their thing together back in '93. (It took New Hampshire until '99.)

Arizona does in fact have a MLK holiday otherwise the Super Bowl would have never agree to play there and it did. Where have you been living in a cave?

I've been living in the cave of apathy about MLK holiday controversies since the days of Sistah Souljah. Back when I cared, Arizona was intransigent. Now I don't care, so I didn't notice or celebrate the change.
