A Lesson from Football

Doug Peterson comes so close to drawing the right lesson from this incident, but I'm afraid he misses it. He writes, "the biggest takeaway from this situation is the encouragement to all to proofread and predict the consequences, both in the short term and the long term, of a comment or a post before submitting it." No. The biggest takeaway is this: when you speak, write or perform before a crowd, no matter how large or small, your real personality - the 'real you' - will eventually come out, no matter how carefully you prepare or edit your content. So make sure your real personality is not something you're going to be ashamed of, because there's no disclaimer or retraction that's going to make it right again.
