Bravo, Terrell Owens.
Lemme tell ya’ll something, Terrell Owens don’t owe these old, dusty ass writers SHIT. His numbers alone are the epitome of what the Hall of Fame is all about. And, he don’t have to show up to the Canton, Ohio induction ceremony to prove it.
Something needs to be done to fix the little red wagon of sports writers. Terrell Owens’ decision to not attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony is just that. HIS decision. Who are we to be angry and dictate how HE chooses to celebrate HIS milestone career? There’s no need for him to be fake. Why sit around a bunch of people who hate on you and treated you like trash?
The idea Terrell Owens lacks integrity or courage because he's skipping Hall ceremonies is beyond absurd.

So much so, that Owen’s decline to go to the ceremony has prompted writers to suggest that they shouldn’t have voted him into the Hall of Fame.
Terrell Owens once did sit-ups in his driveway while discussing a contract negotiation. He once celebrated a touchdown by scarfing down a tub of popcorn. He once performed a grand display in the middle of Cowboy stadium to celebrate a touchdown.
He never killed a guy. He never raped, beaten, or sexually assaulted any women. By and large, T.O. has been a relatively good guy in regards to football player behavior.
But because he didn’t kiss too many sports writers’ asses, he’s been vilified. It’s ridiculous. T.O. should absolutely not show up anyway because he should have been first ballot to begin with.
It should be up to the athlete completely whether or not he wants to celebrate his/her hall of fame induction publicly. It just sounds entitled as hell and selfish to suggest otherwise. It’s just as entitled and selfish as being angry over World Champions visiting the White House and protesting racism. Oh wait..
