RSJ Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 http://www.theredzone.org/news/showarticle.asp?ArticleID=2990 BALTIMORE - Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs apologized Saturday for calling Dallas Cowboys fans "the ugliest people in the world." While answering questions from the crowd at the team's Fan Appreciation Day at training camp on Friday, Gibbs said: "I know we don't have any Dallas people here -- they are the ugliest people in the world." Gibbs later stressed that he was joking, but he felt the need to address the matter again after Saturday's scrimmage against the Baltimore Ravens. "I tried to make a joke," Gibbs said. "I was joking. It didn't come out probably like a joke or like it should've. I hope all my buddies in Dallas -- because I've got a lot of buddies down there -- took it the right way. I hope they thought it was a joke. "But if they didn't think it was a joke, or if anybody took it the wrong way other than a joke, when you make a mistake like that, you've got to apologize. So I apologize to anybody that might have taken it the other way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Why does it matter if he calls them ugly people? They are, they're Cowgirls fans. I remember when the Cowgirls were always "America's Team" with Aikman, Irvin, Smith, Novacheck, Primetime, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened a few years ago here when Matt Doherty called the Duke cheerleaders ugly. And they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Truth is an absolute defense. Only a total pussie would apologize for telling the truth. There are actually people who live in Elizabeth? I thought it was just malls, refineries and highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
