Kevin Sorbo: NFL Won’t Fire Anyone Over Domestic Abuse Scandal Because Of Benghazi (of course!)

Actor Kevin Sorbo on Tuesday asserted that the National Football League (NFL) could not be expected to hold anyone accountable for mistakes in handling domestic violence scandals as longs as the White House was not held responsible for the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. Fox News host Sandra Smith reported on Tuesday’s edition of Outnumbered that Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had insisted that no one would lose their job over the video of Ray Rice punching his girlfriend in an elevator because they had never seen it before it was leaked to the media.

Fox News co-host Kennedy Montgomery pointed out that the Ravens organization had seen the first video of Rice dragging his then-girlfriend, Janay, out of the elevator. “It doesn’t take a genius to assume… that’s pretty intense force to bring a woman like that down,” she noted. “Does he really think we’re stupid?” co-host Andrea Tantaros said of Bisciotti. “Am I really to believe that an organization as powerful as the Baltimore Ravens, that spends almost every waking moment reviewing tape of the other team — reviewing tapes, reviewing plays and tapes! — doesn’t want to get this tape? It is such a bunch of bull, and I’m sick of them lying.”

Sorbo, however, was not surprised that the Ravens were balking at holding someone accountable.
“There’s no accountability in the White House with Benghazi, the IRS and all that kind of stuff,” he explained. “How do we expect to have accountability with something like a professional football team?” “For these guys to say they’ve never seen the tape is insane,” the actor added. “Somebody’s head should roll for this. I mean, this is really sad, and it’s pathetic.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/kevin-sorbo-nfl-wont-fire-anyone-over-domestic-abuse-scandal-because-of-benghazi/

could outwit him?


"Sorbo believes Hollywood has limited his career because of his Christian views."*

Stevie Baldwin thinks the same of his career!

Truthfully though, Arnold is smart. Not Dolph Lundgren MIT scholar smart, but business savvy.
To the point that he was rich through business within a few years of coming to America, and even before he became known in movies.

Started a brick laying business with his work out buddies and made a killing.
Became a real estate investor even back then.

Yeah, Kevin Sorbo is not even in the same orbit as Arnold. I don't agree with the guy, but I can't dispute his acumen.

The rest of those guys are making excuses for their failures.

I was unaware of his pre-"Hercules Goes Bananas" success.

He's done a lot to appear stupid, though.

Actually use to enjoy his films, '80s films that is. Shallow but fun. He was a proper Terminator.


You're right about the "others", of course. Jesus is useful. As a scapegoat...

the guy who jumped the White House fence.

Why is that like Benghazi?

Who knows? Something about unprotected.

See? Every single breach of security is just like every other breach of security.

Except there's just one degree, and everything is linked to Benghazi. Epic fail.

Yeah, I watched Hercules, too. Even back then, it seemed clear Sorbo was an asshole. Appears to have gotten worse.
