I'll nit-pick then:

Atrocity, from atrocious.

Main Entry: atro·cious
Pronunciation: &-'trO-sh&s
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin atroc-, atrox gloomy, atrocious, from atr-, ater black + -oc-, -ox (akin to Greek Ops eye) -- more at EYE
Date: 1669
1 : extremely wicked, brutal, or cruel : BARBARIC
2 : APPALLING, HORRIFYING <the atrocious weapons of modern war>
3 a : utterly revolting : ABOMINABLE

Lets be realisitic. I find his choice of words to be inflamatory, and it makes him look like he cant clearly state his opinion.

To me something that is barabaric is the attacks on NY, and DC. THAT is barbaric, wicked, appaling, horrifying. Not an absence at a football game.
