Well that was ugly.   Thank goodness someone stopped the stool from crashing down.   

Sad day for basketball.  Honestly it's about time Self excuses himself.  That program is rivaling Louisville with it's problems....except Louisville cleaned house and Kansas is doing all it can to protect itself from getting a black mark.   

Fabes, what's your take on this mess? 

Nasty, classless useless hoodlums

calm the f down 

dickie v fired up

suspensions r us

Whatever happened to Hemp Honey?  She was the big Jayhawk fan on this board. 

>>>>>Nasty, classless useless hoodlums

i saw a basketball game that got out of hand. How do you feel about black people in general? 

^right? 

LLTD you feeling a little racist today?

Hockey brawl breaks out: boys being boys! 
Basketball brawl breaks out: nasty, classless, useless hoodlums 

Hockey fights are usually one on one, not a melee.

LLTD didn't use any racist language, he just called the players out for acting like street hoodlums.  What was the guy planning to do with that chair?   Hockey players drop the gloves and sticks and go at it with their fists.   They also don't carry the brawl into the stands.

i was small talking w/ a ups driver recently -- my shop is on his route so i've become friendly w/ dude. 

was talking sports, which i don't have much to talk about, other than basketball (only sport im interested in) -- so i asked if he watches the NBA. 

he said "nope, they're a bunch of useless hoodlums and thugs". 

idk, i thought that was kinda racist. he watches hockey. 

the conversation ended immediately. 

Well, of course, that sort of generalizing has racist overtones, but calling people who are participating in a wantonly reckless fight thugs is a little more specific.  Your piling on LLTD is just some lame virtue-signaling.

maybe choose different words to use? 

unless, you know, it was intentional. 


Right, Herbal Dave.

If someone buys into the idea that "hoodlum" = black...

Who the fuck's the racist?

just strange to watch the video and have those words come to mind. 

 


Maybe understand words before jumping somebody's shit...

 

nasty classless useless hoodlums 

LLTD covered all the bases on this one. 

love to all -- right LLTD??! 

>>> he said "nope, they're a bunch of useless hoodlums and thugs".

I had a very similar conversation with a co worker one night at dinner.  At two separate points he went out of of his way to make us know his displeasure in the attitude of NBA stars while professing love for NHL.  I felt some implied racism in my interaction as well.

>>>>Hockey fights are usually one on one, not a melee.

i said a brawl Dave and it's funny how the racists always come to the defense. Eh Dave. BTW, Do you watch a lot of hockey? Do you have any idea what you're talking about when you speak about hockey? No

I saw a bunch of people being needlessly unkind to other human beings. A few of them displayed some anger management problems.

One of these unkind people picked up a stool (and he appeared to be in the process of) getting ready to hit someone with it, but, thankfully, someone stopped him from doing so.

None of it seemed to be anything we have not seen before at other professional sporting events by people of diverse racial backgrounds (who are all part of one race - the human race).

there's nothing like a good bench clearing brawl 

someone projecting much?

no color involved - but hey - I love the NIners so... and yes, the packers "lost" (like the Vikings and the Saints)

and mr heat, I will be staying out of the bernie or  bust thread - really no point (not that it matters i did divest fom the democratic party years back - and registered as an independent as  demos were too wishy washy and not liberal enough -     and very likely I will always "hate" republicans

back on topic after my quick response: I do perceive that many athletes are punks, and overly entitled and coddled,  and many many are super classy

 

carry on and PEACE love matters
