Go Spartans.
Seeing that I’m white, that isn’t something that I watch.
Oh no he di’in’!
Oh yes he di’id!
Oh shut the hell up!
Huh?
And the point is?
Everybody has preconceptions. White preconceeptions are no more evil than those of anyone else.
I'm patiently awaiting the day this ridiculous, racist, superficial, two-bit pop-sociology fad fades into a deserved obscurity.
My take away from reading this - The author has no point whatsoever, and racism is always and everywhere whatever the speaker declares it to be.
The Box Office?
It must suck to look at the whole world through a straw.
Well Chait’s the whitest mu fo on the planet….
What white people don’t see when they watch basketball is white players.
Diversity.
Never got basketball although I played a bit in an ROTC program at Duquesne. To me it’s tree hockey. Same with soccer just on a field.
Sometimes watch baseball, mostly for nostalgic reasons. The NFL, especially the Steelers, is dead to me. Ice hockey is ok for about two weeks.
Golf is ok early for the scenery and promise of Spring.
I do enjoy NASCAR but it’s nothing like it used to be.
All major sports are over hyped. Basically I’d rather play than watch.
Hey, Jonathan - I just don't bother to watch basketball. In that way, I don't have any racist, stereotypical thoughts.
And unlike President MomJeans, I don't get unnatural desires to sniff sweaty jockstraps...
So basketball a sport where blacks, 12% of the population fills 80% of the roles available
is really the place to look for racism against blacks
Sheesh How StOOOpid
Basketball would get a lot more people following it if they would get rid of the draped in a potato sack look!
They are hideous!
What I don’t see watching basketball are white players.
What a load of B.S. I watch as many Michigan Games as I can.
Jordan Morgan has had plenty of press this year given their Starting Forward Mitch McGary is out with a back Issue for the season. Jordan is commended by most announcers as the Team Leader on the floor, taking the freshmen under his wing, being a 5th Year Graduate Student.
However it has taken both Jordan and Jon Horford to get the same numbers as McGary was providing.
As for Nik Stauskas, he has worked his ass off to improve his game. He is only a Sophmore. If he went Pro at the end of the year he would at worst be a low lottery pick. Jordan will be on the market come next fall looking for a spot or playing in Europe.
What he says about the (sometimes correct, sometimes incorrect) assumption that white guys aren’t as gifted in basketball is probably true. But, seriously, who cares?
