Michael Irvin needs serious history lesson when discussing Marriott case: He’s no Emmett Till
Michael Irvin needs a history lesson. He may actually need many things but a history lesson should be first on the list.
Something he said recently shows him to be a fool. Not just an everyday fool but one who doesn’t even understand the true nature of his own history, Black history.
Irvin was accused of improper behavior by a woman employee inside a Marriott hotel lobby during Super Bowl week. He denied the accusations and sued the hotel chain for $100 million. The case has become larger-than-life, in part because Irvin is a comic book character who symbolizes the boisterous television media environment today, and also because the nature of the accusations against him are ugly and sordid.
