    Milwaukee Bucks boycott Game 5 vs Orlando

    Yes, they imply emphasis and meaning beyond the typical. He is a smart guy. He is socially conscious. He does appear to enjoy getting involved with and diving more deeply into issues than your average guy. I would be completely unsurprised, if after basketball, he went into politics. He's one of...

    Milwaukee Bucks boycott Game 5 vs Orlando

    Because I can think quickly and realize it doesn't seem particularly consequential (there appear to be none) or sacrificial (again, a night off). Jaylen is a very "involved" person. If he and Giannis left the bubble to go to Kinosha/DC/wherever and said they'll be back to basketball after they...

    Milwaukee Bucks boycott Game 5 vs Orlando

    They are so upset... they are taking the night off? Maybe - suspend the playoffs, entirely? Go to Kinosha? Really do something.

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    Inside the NBA had a segment on Harrell/Doncic. Shaq: Back in the day... Kenny: Something power, something racist not racism... then seemed to just confuse himself and stated that players need to unlearn this behavior. Barkley: Shaq is full of crap. There is a double standard. It was wrong. He...

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    :drunk: He was in the middle of the basketball court during a televised NBA playoff game. You don't get much more public than that. This wasn't some hidden mic recording him privately grousing with his wife after a game. He was backing down the court yelling after his dunk putback. But for a...

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    No. I believe context matters the most, especially with language. Long before Carl Crawford's rehab racist experience - I heard a group of Philadelphia Eagles fans referring to Duce Staley as a "Canadian" and singing O Canada when he scored a TD (weirdly enough, in the middle of his career...

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    Times change. None of those things and many others from the past would, or should, fly in 2020 and I'd expect significantly increased penalties.

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    It's 2020 and the NBA has these dudes literally running around on a BLM-decorated court with a host of approved social justice phrases on the backs of their jerseys. Does anything need to be proposed? It should be obvious that - at a minimum - taunts involving elements of race or sexual...

    "We're going to Disney World!" NBA to resume season July 31 at WDW

    What does that even mean? Are there certain (white) people that don't want to point out what the reaction would be like if the roles were reversed? Would black people not care to or be capable of pointing out the error of Harrell's ways? I'm stumped. It would be patently absurd for the NBA to...

    Gone Brady Gone

    I believe that's a plot line from Ballers.

    Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman suspended for on-air homophobic epithet

    Context is important. Context will do him no favors. That was said like a guy with some anger in his heart.

    Rosenthal: Mookie and LAD in agreement: 12/$365

    Good for Mookie, but yeah. He's a top player and should be for the next few years... but.... well - it's not my money.

    Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders

    I'm probably the only one in this thread that didn't know the origin of the team's name. Originally the Boston Braves... played at the Boston Braves baseball team's field. Football team moves to Fenway where the Red Sox played. Football team name is changed to "fit" - following move. Original...

    Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders

    They'll go the Prince route and have the new name be an ambiguous emoji.

    Retired African American baseball players on race, baseball, America

    As opposed to where? I certainly wouldn't deny that there are racist a-holes in Boston, but I think a lot of people just equate a 'lesser degree of diversity' in the city of Boston with 'more racism.' With respect to sports, the worst racism I've ever seen and it isn't even close, was in a bar...

    Gronk to TB (Tom Brady): A Gronking to Remember

    I guess what he's getting at is that he believes most players care less about winning than they do about a host of other things. If the winning happens, cool... but most are happy to play 16 games and enjoy the off-season.

    2020 Gronk Watch: Gronkmania

    I'm sorry. Neither Gronk, nor TB had any leverage. Leak out that Gronk is looking to move to TB - but the Pats are looking for a better deal than swapping 4th and 7th round picks.. and ALL of the pressure if on TB. What - are they building for the future?
