Shaquille O'Neal Apologizes... By Ashley Burns / 04.30.14 link Resized to 83% (was 650 x 432) - Click image to enlarge Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many hats, from being an NBA legend and a TNT analyst to a comedy icon in his own mind and supporting character in the Happy Madison stable, but being the Big Apologizer has never really been one of his things. Now, though, the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias has put that idea to the test, as Executive Director Mary Fete wrote an open letter to the Buick spokesperson regarding an under-the-radar news story that took a backseat to all of the Donald Sterling press. In a since-deleted Instagram post, Shaq made a goofy face that ignorantly mocked a young man named Jahmel Binion, who suffers from Ectodermal Dysplasias, which is a rare condition that hinders his ability to sweat and causes missing teeth and hair. It’s safe to say that Shaq didn’t know about Binion’s condition when he shared the image, but that didn’t stop a lot of people from comparing him to Sterling and calling for his head on a stick... snip *********************************************************** And because Shaq is a basketball icon and the people who have this disorder are a very small number and the hypocrisy of his lambasting Sterling while being a public douche while Sterling was being a private douche, he makes a gesture and everyone lets him off the hook. Nope. No double standard.
