NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

That’s a dead end of logic because of the way our federalist system works. Illinois and Chicago can have the strictest gun control in the world and it won’t stop purchases in nearby states. This talking point about gun control doesn’t work pointing to Chicago is a doomed piece of group think. The majority of gun crimes committed in Chicago come from guns purchased out of state and often through straw purchases. I support the 2nd amendment but can’t stand dishonesty in debate.

It also completely ignores the construct as to why Chicago is how it is. Gun laws are irrelevant to that issue. Memphis is no different but has (without looking to verify) very pro gun laws on the books yet has a similar crime situation. And again the crime there has nothing to do with gun laws

Some of these stories emerging are just heartbreaking.

Wife just told me a little girl used some of her dead friend's blood to play dead.

15 black head coaches in the NBA.

The NFL needs to take notice off this.

How many of them are former players?

The reason I ask is that it seems like former NBA players, especially role players, choose to go into coaching. Moreso than former NFL players, who seem to choose to go into broadcasting.

Seems like you want to claim the issue in the NFL is race when there seems to be evidence that it may be more about choices being made by former players.

Maybe it's as simple as broadcasting pays better than being an NFL assistant coach, pays at least as well as a head coach, has a lot less pressure and a better work/home balance? Considering all of that...not sure why anyone would want to be a coach. lol

Not saying that it isn't a race issue, but rather that maybe we should look at other potential reasons before defaulting to race.

It would be interesting to do a study to see if it is a difference in choices made, opportunities available or some combination of factors.

The only thing i notice is the NBA is hiring out of step with the demographics of the US. Seems racist tbh.

Congrats on the Rangers getting to the ECF. I've only been following hockey since Vegas gotta team. So still don't fully understand the game. But I'm trying to figure it out.
