Pac Man Jones - a Tragic Character

I like to think that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would first off get rid of that gardening imagry in his works, because let's face it, not many men garden... but then again it is theatre.

I was getting off-topic, so sorry.

Anyway, he would create a tragedy called, Pac-Man. It's be about this professional American footballer (remember he's English) and how everywhere he goes, be it a strip club, night club or strip club, violence follows him. Then in the fourth act (this would be a lighter, happier act for Billy Shakes) he would be interviewed by James Brown on the CBS NFL Pregame show.

Now, everyone watches the CBS Pre-game show or supposedly that's what the promos say for it... made by CBS. This would be his chance to set his name striaght. He is mainly saying it to a whole host of white people who love football and already judged him when he got arrested/suspended/arrested/suspended the first time.

James Brown, being the respected journalist he is would dish out the tough questions and let Pac Man get his story told... but I honestly think he ruined himself when given this question:

James Brown: Adam what is it about strip clubs that make you want to go there?

PacMan: Well, strip clubs are like any other club -

Really. PacMan, I'm not saying you are a liar... well, yeah you are a liar or have never been to an actual club. I've been to clubs. Never have I been to a club where girls are paid and compensated by me, in the club, for taking off articles of their clothing and shaking their naughty bits in my direction, preferabbly my face. Never... I wish sometimes, but never.

See, PacMan is not so wrong in going to strip clubs, but it's the fact that he does and trouble follows him there that makes him seem so sleazy and untrustworthy. I don't want to judge him on that, it's not fair. He is not paid by a team to go to strip clubs, so that is not my place or anyone elses to judge him for. However, he will be judge when violence and trouble keeps rearing it head whenever he enters one. We never know if he causes it or not... though the signs keep leading there.
