I watched the Superbowl last Sunday. And I knew as soon as
Joe Namath strutted out on the field wearing a three-quarter length fur coat,
there was going to be an uproar.
Not
many celebrities have the audacity to sport fur nowadays. The forces that be
have pretty much made the act of wearing it as shameful as attending a concert
featuring Kenny G, Michael Bolton and Nickelback while wearing Mom Jeans.
But,
enter Joe Namath in all his furry glory. And we shouldn't have been the least
surprised by his choice in coats. Since
his playing days with the New York Jets in the 1960s, Broadway Joe has been
known to wear a fur or two.
PETA
has unleashed unbridled outrage at Namath calling him an embarrassment and
referring to his coat as a "cave persons."
I get
that PETA wants to protect defenseless animals. I applaud that. But at 70,
Namath looked pretty dazzling out there on the field, didn't he?
