The marijuanas? That shit leads to all sorts of bad things.

So my cbd oil might turn me into a troll?

@DJ

Will you be rooting for Abilene Christian to pull off another upset today?

Fuck no.

lol

You know he's the head coach at Georgetown, right?

There are dozens of reasons why a coach was or was not chosen that need to be looked at before ever getting to race as a possibility. There may be a certain style that the owner wants. Dr. Buss' last hire with the Lakers was Mike D'Antoni because he wanted a return to the Showtime style of basketball.

The Nets, with their firepower, wanted a system that will showcase that firepower, which is likely why they hired Nash.

Hate to break it to you and Stephen A., but it isn't always about race.

It isn't never about race either. Just sayin'

Maybe. I don't use CBD oil.

Congrats to B-Ball Paul(aka Paul Reed) on winning rookie of the year and MVP of the G League.

Actually it pretty much is never about race, these teams want to win. The only thing that makes it about race is morons who think like Stephen A. Now THAT is about race.

I disagree. Just because someone decides they want to use it as a reason/excuse for something, doesn't mean it was.

Good to know racism doesn't exist in the NBA.

Nah... racism exists in the NBA... whites are like 70% or 80% of the population, yet only represent a minority of NBA players.

Don't even get me started about the NFL!

Who's going deeper in the Tourney.....UCLA ot USC?

Good chance the Pac has Oregon, UCLA, and USC in the Sweet 16.

You must have missed the comment by Texans owner Bob McNair when he said the owners can't let the inmates run the asylum.....basically can't let the slaves run the plantation.

Bob McNair apologizes for "inmates" remark - ProFootballTalk

An excellent ESPN.com summary of the things that transpired at last week’s NFL ownership meetings included a report that Texans owner Bob McNair had said during a session involving mostly owners that “[w]e can’t have the inmates running the prison.” Now that the comment been made public, more...

Link where I said it doesn't.

Just because racism exists, doesn't mean that every time a minority doesn't get hired or a white person does it's because of race.

USC of course lol...

Seriously though, my friend's daughter got accepted in the top 1000 kids trying to get in, and she's gonna start going there this fall. So I have to root extra hard for my Trojans...

He fucked up the saying. It's "you can't let the inmates run the asylum" and that saying has been around forever and isn't used re: race that I've seen.

 

[trojanfan12]

USC of course lol...

I have USC going out in the Sweet 16. I've seen a couple of folks predict them for the Elite 8, but I'd be surprised.

I thought we were talking about coaches? I would have to agree no organization can allow a player to call the shots, color doesn’t matter.

Honestly the fact that saying is assumed to be racist is racist.
