Who gives a fuck about Colin Cowherd?

"On "The Herd With Colin Cowherd" on ESPN Radio, Cowherd said some rude comments about Eddie Guerrero's passing. He accused Eddie and other wrestlers of steroid use. Cowherd said, "who cares that he died" and that Guerrero's death was not "newsworthy." He also started speculation on the "unknown causes" of his death."

Well, Mr. Cowherd, lots of people seem to care. You can hate wrestling, consider it beneath you and generally scoff at the death of one of its participants. But really, all you're doing is making yourself look like a piece of human shit. Wrestling is enjoyed by millions of people across the world and when one of its most popular wrestlers dies, we mourn it just like sports fans mourn when another athlete dies.

And make no mistake about it: wrestlers are athletes who put their bodies on the line to entertain.
