I wonder what the guy behind Wonder Putz is saying "you kneel and I'll kick you in the back of the head"? Clinton looks upset he's not the only black man at a full tourney Life moves pretty fast.

Excellent idea. May I suggest "blowing it out your ass" as an alternative method?  | |||

Maybe it is coming to the time to suggest that the interests of racial, religious, and gender equality require that sports teams no longer ignore those disparities which are so prominent in pro sports. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I'm just waiting to see how the league reacts to the next professional felon who fucks up off the field. They are under so much pressure to prove that they are not morally bankrupt that they will have to come down on him like a ton of bricks to retain any credibility. | |||

Yes, NBA player LeBron James claims he is supporting the protests in the name of "equality". Well geez, LeBron, let's do something about "equality" by enforcing some new rules, such as having two white starters on every single NBA team, and one Asian/Hispanic starter as well. Each team will employ more whites and asians to bring down the 75% slice blacks have in the league, down to 40%, which is more than generous given their actual slice of the U.S. population. And starting in 2020, women will make up 50% of the roster of each NBA team. And while we're on the subject of "equality", let's straighten out this disparity in salaries. Every body on the team gets equal pay, no matter of ability, hey we're all part of the same team, right LeBron? Put your money where your mouth is pal.

One suspects a tongue-un-cheek reference to the fact that the NBA and NFL, at least, are disproportionately represented by People Of Colour? "America is at that awkward stage.

If it is good enough for firehouses, police stations, government offices and businesses, maybe it's time to bring it to sports. 61% white non Hispanic, 12% black, 18% Hispanic, 6% Asian, 1% American Indian, 1% Hawaiian Pacific Islander, 49% male, 51% female...... get with it, Roger, Adam, Rob. Let's bring equality, social justice, fairness to every corner of the country, every walk of life. I expect to see 300 lbs white women playing tackle next year. Once we get that done, then we can worry about gay/straight/tran equality. That'll earn your $40 million a year! Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Here locally, no scumbags taking knees. Anderson County football team enters field carrying American flags  CLINTON - Amid controversy in the NFL, one Tennessee high school football team is using their platform to respond. At Friday's game against Chattanooga's East Ridge High School, Anderson County players and coaches walked onto the field carrying American flags. Toby Keith's "Courtesy to the Red, White and Blue" played in the stadium as patriotic fireworks were set off. “The NFL has been using that venue for other causes, we wanted to make sure our platform was used for what it was intended," explained Coach David Gillum. "Our kids have dads in military some of them are over there now, we wanted to do our part to show support for the freedoms they fought for." He says they also wanted to show support for the high school's junior ROTC team which displays the colors during the National Anthem before each game. Normally, the team is still in the locker rooms during the National Anthem, but chose to enter the field earlier on Friday to be able to be there. "In light of everything going on in NFL, we asked our kids and let them decide if they wanted do something, we were for it, but we didn't wanted them to be in a controversy," said Gillum. "They wanted to do something in support of our military and National Anthem, being a platform for us to honor our vets, military, family that has served, everyone who has fought and died for it."

Yeah, how about establishing rules that require that every professional sports team must be comprised of ethnic groups in proportion to the national census. I.e. black males about 6%, etc etc. Really ! Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

Not a bad idea, but do you want to bet that it will happen? Too much money involved for too many people.

It's easy enough to do, especially when the moral hazard of differing motives becomes involved. Everybody can have a bad game. A great many procedures and policies, like reporting injuries, starting line ups, are to facilitate big money gambling, and once these guys can't be sure which fix is in, there will be unhappiness.

Well I'm on a Mac (and I clicked before your post) so I got to read it. Well I didn't actually read it. I read the first line and stopped. Don't bother. | |||
