Add former NBA benchwarmer Paul Shirley’s outrageous comments on Haiti to a growing list of idiots mocking relief efforts for the devastated country. Shirley penned an open letter on a website to Haiti, saying he considers it foolish to contribute. “As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not rebuild your island home in the image of its predecessor,” Shirley wrote. “Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty- and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?”
In a statement, ESPN said: “The views [Shirley] expressed on another site of course do not at all reflect our company’s views on the Haiti relief efforts. He will no longer contribute to ESPN.”
