Miss California, You're fired!

Ok, so a little off topic today. Not a typical professional athlete, but a professional none the less. I'm going to talk about the "controversal" answer of the year. I'm sorry, but since when is standing up for your faith, morals, and family uprising a bad thing? Why is this one young Cali girl getting national fame and disproval? If you haven't figured it out I'm talking about 2009 Miss California Carrie Prejean.

Her 15 minutes of fame started when she "lost" the title of Miss USA by answering celebrity judge Perez Hilton's question about same sex marriages. Miss California answered that she grew up to believe that it is a sacred union between a man and a woman only. Now as far as being a spokesperson for the great state of California which is a lot more liberal and accepting than the Dakotas from where I write this blog, she probably wasn't channeling her constituents all that well. But why does the rest of the country hate her so for being true to herself and her upbringing? I'm not trying to promote or agrue against same sex marriage, that's not what this is about, but I am trying to figure out why her one answer has lead to a great scandal.

She is now in danger of losing her Miss California crown. Not for her Q&A session, but because it has been revealed she didn't disclose all her teenage modeling pictures (she's nude in one) to the judges. I am wondering if because she "lost" and is made a big controversal celebrity of herself that the judges looked further into her past and revealed some reason to disgrace her and strip her crown. Overall I don't really care anymore. Her 15 minutes are over, hell, they lasted a lot longer than the actual winner of the Miss USA crown whatzhername. She raised some good questions and some good debates across the country for a short while, but now I just wish Donald Trump would pull the plug on the whole Miss USA pageant so we wouldn't have to deal with these silly princesses anymore. Please! Just tell them all "you're fired!"
