Why NOT Attach Their Story To That Of A Rape Victim Who’s Been Held Captive For 18 Years?

Okay. I’m SURE I don’t have to tell y’all about Jaycee Dugard and the fact that she was held captive in a series of trash-strewn tents in her captor’s backyard since age eleven for the past EIGHTEEN YEARS and in that time had two daughters by her rapist/captor, Phillip Garrido, right? And I probably also don’t have to explain how horrifying that must have been for her (AND her children,) right?
Well. The guys at the OC Register (Mark Whicker wrote it, but it had to go through a series of people before it got the thumbs-up - which, sadly, it did) thought it would be clever to use that story as a vehicle for their list entitled “Many Odd Things Have Happened In Sports the Last 18 Years.” Let the hilarity begin!

The list talks about how JayCee was deprived of high-fiving, volley-ball spiking, and smacking a forehand down the line, whatever the fuck that means.
Here’s a helpful smattering of quotes from the article, and part of “The List,” (which you can read here, in it’s entirety,):
