Ditka all but admits that he’s a gutless coward in this thread: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=875473
I assert (not in response to any particular post) that any young and healthy person who advocates for a war that they aren’t willing to fight in is a coward.
Ditka responds:
I break my rule and respond:
Crickets. At least for this question – he responds to other posts (tying himself in knots to avoid admitting to cowardice), and in other threads… but somehow not this one. Heh.
As I said in that thread, his refusal to respond is kind of a response in itself. What a gutless, misogynistic coward.
