Louisville's Kevin Ware suffered probably the most gruesome leg injury in sports history. With less than seven minutes left in the first half, he landed on his foot with such force his leg buckled in several places, resulting in a 10-minute delay as medical personnel tended to him. CBS only showed the replay twice out of respect (SI.com), and everyone showed concern for a young college player who's career could possibly be over. Well, everyone but Jason Whitlock.
Whitlock made his name after being fired from ESPN's Page 2 for calling out Scoop Jackson and Stephen A. Smith, then promoting himself as someone who doesn't fall into the usual mountain-out-of-a-molehill "journalism" that most other sports writers do. But last fall, he wrote a rushed article about gun control only hours after Jovan Belcher's murder/suicide and before any facts were out, and played the "slave" card with Bill O'Reilly (comments he would've criticized Jackson and Smith over). And he has since followed up with this tweet.
