Surprise! An angry diversity hire.

“Perhaps you should learn why we were among the best. It is called hard work, devotion, team-work and love of the sport.”

Or you could learn to take a joke.

I had never seen that move before. And then a team member comes into picture body blocking the medical guy. Are these idiots for real? Blocking and hassling medical people doing their job? I hope somebody blocks the ambuance if it ever comes to his house.

I see fake nooses in his future.

A petulant child. Too many Negros grow up without anyone telling them no. This is the result.

[Lizavetta]

Too many Negros grow up without anyone telling them no.

No strong guidance from a father. One of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century perpetrated on blacks by our ever loving benevolent government's welfare programs.

I took up fencing and the HOA promptly threatened to fine me because the fence had not been approved by the architectural reveiw board.

I was told I had 10 days to submit the proper paperwork and get approval before continuing or get a $250 fine... Ya, I wanted to more than slap someone!!😡

Épée is pretty questionable but Sabre-style is perfectly acceptable.

“I always thought fencing was an event where the team that sold the most hub caps won.”

Wasn’t there a parody of one of the U.S.-city Olympics that had things like “Loot-and-run” events?

Soft bigotry of low expectations

A very concise, succinct, and thoughtful statement that describes the current situation.

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, and we’ve see. Some other good examples of that haven’t we.

[DoughtyOne]

There you go…

[Fightin Whitey]

You can take the boy out of the ‘hood...

I got about a thousand feet of fencing I'm about to commence puttin up in a week or two.

Somehow I don't expect this gloomy character would be much hep out on the o'ol north forty.

Isn’t fencing a gay sport?

Robert Heinlein didn't think so.

[KC Burke]

If you read the background on this, I would like your take on whatever started this meltdown and whether he has the slightest claim to a “great injustice.” Not that such would excuse behavior such as this but knowledge of what caused him to go “full McEnroe” would be useful.

[KC Burke]

I would add that a comparable Gentlemen’s Sport, tennis had it’s biggest problem child in John McEnroe, a white guy.

[End Times Sentinel]

Now THAT IS FUNNY!!!
