ATLANTA. Suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones is in trouble again, this time in connection with the massacre of 10,000 Polish Army officers in the Katyn forest of Russia in 1940.
Jones denied the charges, which were brought before the UN War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. "I wasn't even born 'til 1983, so how could I be involved in something like that, unless you construe Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to mean that time travel is possible--which I don't."
While admitting that the case presented evidentiary problems, chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte said the massacre fit a pattern that has characterized incidents involving Jones and his entourage. "A group of people is coming out of a nightclub or a forest," she explained, "somebody in Jones' posse says something, and boom--all of a sudden ten thousand people are dead."
The Katyn Forest Massacre is one of the great unsolved war crimes of World War II, with the Russians originally blaming the Germans and the people of Poland subsequently accusing the Soviet Union of guilt. Boris Yeltsin, first president of the Russian Federation, attempted to shift the blame to the Houston Oilers shortly after they moved to Tennessee and became the Titans in 1997. "Why would an original AFL team leave football-mad Texas?" Yeltsin asked at the time. "It makes no sense."
Jones is currently serving a one-year suspension for a laundry list of infractions, including a shooting incident outside a Las Vegas strip club that left a man paralyzed, ten shirts--starch on a hanger--and a necktie with a gravy stain. Under the terms of his suspension, Jones must comply with all required counseling and treatment assigned by the NFL, cross at the green, not in between, and use Crest toothpaste as part of a conscientiously-applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care.
