I didn’t think his article was that bad. I disagree with some of it, but he makes a few good points. And, I know the guy. He was one of my neighbors in Milwaukee. He’s a nice guy. We only talked about music, as he and I are both Be-Bop fans. He was always friendly and respectful. In this case, I agree to disagree with him, but I don’t feel the vitriol is necessary.

Fine. Reserve half the positions on NBA teams for women, and force the scoring to statistically look like America. That way, white women would score the most. Presto, no more misogyny in pro basketball. Consider it a testbed of sorts.

“Fist-shaking and finger-pointing quickly degenerates into helpless shrugging.”

That is exactly where I am regarding the democrats and Obama.

First I was fist shaking mad, then I was finger pointing Now I just shrug, go on with my life and go “Oh well”

I guess that makes me a philogynist.

Well, I'm a cunning linguist.

Personally, I am tired of all the whining and gay drama in sports. Just hush and play ball.

It has something to do with the Kurds, but I don't remember the details.

Good Lord. Another liberal on a liberal pulpit spouting nonsense.

Why am I not surprised.

The We Need Better Athletes league will have higher salaries when there is something worth watching.

Thanks for the suggestion Lou. Now eat your Jello and get ready for your nap.

I’m always impressed by Muslims who lecture other people on the mistreatment of females. (snicker)

I think Kareem is OK. He’s a member of the Single Action Shooting Society. I met him briefly at the world championships some years ago. One of the only guys I had to look (way) up at.
His SASS alias is “Trinidad Slim.”
