Disjointed Digression

From the “How insensitive is that?!” files:
This past Sunday the New Orleans Saints played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.

Normally I could not care less about football. But this little news item caught my attention:
During the half-time break, the Buccaneers cheerleaders danced to a song that had been in their “routine all season long”…
The Scorpions hit Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Bad taste? Or just an oversight?
My guess is that it was an oversight…

On Wednesday afternoon, a Buccaneers’ spokesperson apologized for the song, calling it an oversight and saying it was not their “intent to offend anyone.”

The team officials noted the song was part of a dance routine the cheerleaders have performed to all season. He says the song, “Rock You Like a Hurricane” will no longer be played at games against the Saints.
I don’t think the song was the cause, but the Saints lost the game.
