Liebrals shudda been wiped out after 9/11 when America turned on them.

Conservatives bashed their own instead and payback is a female dog, FReepers.

This is a lie. There aren’t any white players in the NBA.

[Ouderkirk]

Basketball suck and the NBA is worthless. Why watch that crap. Professional athletes are absolutely the worst of humanity

I qgara about basketball when Shakthugball and the jump step no longer were illegal but instead deemed things of beauty.

How many professional athletes do you know?

“In a related study, academic “experts” have determined that American NHL referees called penalties at a greater rate against Canadian players than against non-Canadian players.
The study by a pointy-headed university professor and a clueless liberal graduate student also found that Canadian referees called penalties more frequently against U.S. players than their own countrymen, but noted that this tendency was not as pronounced.”

Professional athletes are absolutely the worst of humanity - LOL, they picked you last on the playground games eh?

[Ouderkirk]

There is nothing redeeming in a life spent as a professional athlete. Tehy are little more than actors in the circus’s

Yachting officiating by blacks against caucasian yachtsmen is BIASED..! Polo players, too...

[Ouderkirk]

I was a varsity athlete in HS and college and a bruiser on the playground. I have no use for professional athletes or the games they play

[military cop]

This is an outrage.....

(significant sarcasm.....)

Al and Jesse: I’m with you both. Let’s boycott the NBA.

I am, as Yogi Berra once said, “Shocked and amazed but, not really suprised” at what is deemed “news” these days.....

This is somebody that has way too much time on their hands at work’s idea of getting their boss to look at them............

Not sure what you're trying to say here, but I certainly agree with you about Shaq.

[Buck W.]

Until we see a comparative study of “no-calls” by race, this means nothing.

[justiceseeker93]

Can’t believe anyone would even want to investigate this issue. Have any NBA players complained that they’re not getting the calls because officials are white or black? Where do Hispanic and Oriental players come out on this? Are they more likely to have fouls called against them by white or black officials? How silly!!
