Thin line between racist and ignorant.

The comment made to Smart seemed more a shot at his manhood. But, if you squint....

I can see how you would come to that conclusion.

The comment about LeBron was just butthurt.

The comment about Lamar Jackson?

Just wow.

Pure ignorance. But, I don't think the Niners announcer was TRYING to be racist.

I think he was pulling all kinds of Shit out of his ass to rationalize why his team got destroyed.

Still, intent doesn't always matter. That Shit was across the line.

racism IS ignorant...

no line in my view at all...

Agree with all of this.

The Niners announcer situation is kind of tricky, imo. Lamar Jackson has dark skin, he's wearing a dark color uniform and footballs are dark brown.

I get the point he was trying to make. But he has to know that there will be folks who take it as a racist comment whether that was the intent or not.

What I saw it as was, as you mentioned, just a lame attempt at rationalizing the ass kicking his team was taking. I mean, I played football from the time I was 8 through 1 year of college and I don't remember ever having a problem knowing which player had the ball, no matter how dark or light their skin was.

Even if you remove the race aspect, the comment was still stupid enough to warrant a suspension though. lol

First I've heard about the Lamar Jackson thing. I'm sure it was way outta line though.

Agree.

But, what was said about LeBron wasn't racist, just ignorant.

Wamupedia already cleared up the fact that he was talking about Smart, not LeBron.

So, we all agree.

"He's really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin color with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see that thing," Ryan said on air. "I mean you literally could not see when he was in and out of the mesh point."

Yep.

The guy didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

Didn't use any trigger words.

But, how fucking stupid do you have to be to say some Shit like that on the radio in 2019?

I'm glad he didn't lose his job because it's obvious he was just trying to justify the results on the field.

used to hear idiots say dumb shit like that even when I was in the Air Force...

I remember being out on a maneuver once, all camou'd up, and hiding in the rough. and one white sergeant saw one of the cats in my flight. claimed the only reason he saw him was because he smiled...

Just over a week before the NBA trade flood gates swing open!!!

Who makes a big trade?

I think it's pretty clear the Jazz needs to do SOMETHING.

Denver too if they expect to sniff the WCF.

My eyes are on Dallas.

As currently constructed, they are a playoff team.

But, they need another guy.

Gallo or Love would be awesome.

But, sounds like they have their eyes on Iggy.

I wish the Lakers had some trade assets outside of Kuz. Especially since it's looking like Iggy isn't getting bought out and I'm not sure that there will be much help available in the buyout market.

They are playing really well and look like the best team in the league right now.

A lot of the reason they look as good as they do is because several role players that most of us saw as questionable are really stepping up and Kuz is rounding into form.

I'm not really worried about Lebron, AD, Kuz and Danny Green, or even Javale for that matter.

But will Dwight keep playing like he is? Will Rondo keep hitting 3's like he has been? When Avery Bradley gets back, will he still play the good defense he was playing before he got hurt?

A lot of questions there. If this is sustainable, maybe they can win a title as currently constructed? I'm just not sure it is sustainable.

Holy shit. That's just wrong. I have no tolerance for any type of racism.

I knew where this was heading....lol

Navy racists used that tired joke too.

It's funny.....

Sometimes racists can compartmentalize their hatred.

We had a guy in our unit that had like a 5 inch swastika tatted over his chest.

How he got a top secret clearance I will never know.

When we were TDY in Seattle, our whole unit took the ferry to Canada to get some drinks.

While in the bar, a drunk Canadian called another black sailor the N Word.

Said Nazi beat his whole ass.

I asked him why and he said...

" We are Americans. When we are in this uniform we are the same".

I was like......uhhhhh.

:scratch:

lol that was kinda the thought in the forefront of my brain the other night when we beat the Jazz. and yeah, I know they aren't really playing well anyhow, but the blocks, the turnovers, etc on defense was really friggin' high...

if we could be that consistent on 'D' for most of the season that'd be awesome...

I've mention the Jazz and the Mavs yesterday... Galo or Love is very possible for either team... The Thunder need to save more salary and both the Mavs and the Jazz can absorb some salary back... A very possible trade...
