Always thought that as a NBA player, Rodman was great at what he did and a bit strange... but now I know he is an idiot... what is the difference between what he just did and what Jane Fonda did during the Viet Nam war? He is doing it before Americans get hurt, Jane did it right in front of them...

The look on that woman's face says it all. Disbelief.
