Before you get too excited, he also says this:

"Because the white culture places more of a premium on winning," Dawkins believes, "and less on self-indulgent preening and chest-beating. That's because there are so many other situations in the white culture where a young kid can express himself."

I like Sam's explanation in post #35, the inner city game is all about showing off for the young ladies on the playground floor.

Put those same players in an all boys Catholic school and I doubt they would play the same way.

JUST PASS ME THE DAMN BALL: The Fast Times and Hard Knocks of an NFL Rookie

-by Keyshawn Johnson and Shelly Smith

You make the call!

DEEP THOUGHTS

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
