Shaq; Turn in Your Badge

The fallout from the Shaq freestyle is already being felt, but not from the source you may have been expecting. Kobe is still quiet on the manor, and the smart money says he will remain that way. However, there is one person ready to call the new B.I.G. out. That man is the Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio is demanding that Shaq turn in his badge. Shaq has made it no secret that he has always wanted to be a sheriff. He has gone to drug training in Virginia, he is an officer in Miami and in Maricopa where he is a colonel under the self proclaimed toughest sheriff in the U.S.A. Now citing language used in his freestyle this past weekend, Arpaio wants Shaq to turn in his badge because he is a bad role model. The obvious fallout from this situation is yet again the glory hog sheriff from Maricopa County has found a way to put himself back into the national spotlight. Remember this is the man who made a name for himself by making Mike Tyson wear pink underwear for those 2 days he was in jail on drug charges. Arpaio has made a name for himself by being over the top and abusing his powers to the fullest extent. Now thanks to Shaq's horrible rap, Arpaio gets another 2 mins of fame and well Shaq goes on his merry little way. Credit AP.
