From the Author: It happened on Tuesday, January 7, 2013 that Dennis Rodman showed his real character as he was asked by CNN to speak out on behalf of Kenneth Bae. He was in North Korea preparing to play an exhibition basketball game in honor of Kim Jong Un’s birthday. Being heavily intoxicated, he totally lost it in front of the camera. Most of his words were so slurred that he appeared incoherent cursing out the anchors on national television. His response to a legitimate question showed his ignorance about Kim Jong Un and the Kim dynasty who have maimed and tortured innocent people for half a century.
The former NBA star has not only showed evil side but has brought humiliation to the US by honoring an evil dictator who even has his own uncle killed and eaten by dogs.
And now for the article:
Live on CNN: Dennis Rodman Loses it, Curses at Anchor
Daniel Doherty | Jan 07, 2014
A bizarre update to my item from yesterday. As it happens, Dennis Rodman is in North Korea preparing to play an exhibition basketball game on Wednesday in honor of Kim Jong Un’s birthday. However, when asked on CNN on Tuesday to speak out and help secure the release of one Kenneth Bae — an American held in the DPRK against his will on unnamed charges — the former NBA star lost his cool. Badly:
No doubt Rodman envisions himself performing a great public service by schmoozing it up with Kim Jong Un and spreading his “basketball diplomacy” throughout the land. But he does himself no favors by cursing out anchors and mumbling incoherently on national television. People are already questioning his motives for being in “love” with a man almost everyone finds utterly vile and grotesque. Plus, his inability to answer a perfectly legitimate question about Kenneth Bae shows just how naïve he is about a country he seems to enjoy visiting.
How many innocent people have been maimed, tortured and murdered by the Kim dynasty over the last, say, half century? Impossible to know. Part of being an adult, then, is recognizing that evil exists in the world, and Rodman’s “friend” is undoubtedly evil. How anyone could — or would — want to associate with him is impossible to understand.
The sooner he goes home the better.
Rodman Apologizes:
Dennis Rodman apologizes for North Korea outburst, says he’d been drinking
(CNN) — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman apologized Thursday for his much-criticized outburst about an American citizen imprisoned in North Korea, saying he was stressed out and had been drinking when he made the remarks on CNN.
The family of that imprisoned American, Kenneth Bae, said Thursday that they accepted Rodman’s apology for his “outrageous” remarks but said they hope his comments “have not further endangered” Bae.
The eccentric basketball veteran is in North Korea for a controversial visit that has been rife with bizarre moments, includingRodman’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” to the country’s leader Kim Jong Un at a packed sports stadium on Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview Tuesday with Chris Cuomo of CNN’s “New Day,” Rodman provoked outrage by appearing to suggest that Bae — who has been held in North Korea since 2012 — may have done something to deserve his sentence of 15 years of hard labor.
“I want to first apologize to Kenneth Bae’s family,” Rodman, 52, said Thursday in a statement released by his publicist Jules Feiler. “I want to apologize to my teammates and my management team. I also want to apologize to Chris Cuomo.”
Bae’s family had said they were shocked by Rodman’s comments about the captive American.
“He was in a position to do some good and to help advocate for Kenneth,” Bae’s sister, Terri Chung, said Tuesday. “He refused to do so. But then instead he has chosen to hurl these outrageous accusations against Kenneth. He clearly doesn’t know anything about Kenneth, about his case. And so we were appalled by that.”
Rodman attributed his outburst to stress.
“I embarrassed a lot of people,” said Rodman, who traveled to North Korea with other former NBA players for a basketball game against a North Korean team. “I’m very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. I’m truly sorry.”
He said the day of the interview had been “very stressful.”
“Some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their families and business associates,” he said, adding that his dream of “basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart.”
“I had been drinking,” he said. “It’s not an excuse but by the time the interview happened, I was upset. I was overwhelmed.”
In a written statement Thursday afternoon, Chung said the Bae family would accept his apology.
“As Rodman has stated, being drunk and stressed is not an excuse for what he said, but we acknowledge he is human and we all do make mistakes,” the statement said. “Our greatest concern remains the health and freedom of my brother Kenneth. We hope and pray that Rodman’s comments and ongoing antics have not further endangered my brother. Kenneth’s health and freedom are precarious.” More>

From the Author: I really don’t think that Dennis is going to climb his way out of this one. I felt remorse for his fellow players as you could see that they were embarrassed beyond belief. No doubt, this will follow Mr. Rodman for the rest of his life – and well deserved if you ask me.
