Double standard?

Let's see if I have it straight: Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker describes his personal observations of New York's streets and subways... and he's condemned as “hateful and disrespectful.”

Meanwhile in New York, a cow-dung-smeared portrait of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated as “art,” protected as “free speech,” and put on public display in one of New York's most prominent museums.

Hmmm... maybe Rocker's got a point.
