There isn't a sport on earth that I would watch if it came with a lecture.

Bite me.

Popovich has gone further off the rails since he lost his wife to cancer last year. Really sad, San Antonio loved the guy’s quirkiness and high standards for years. He said he’d retire when Timmy did - he should have.

This TOS episode is the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

Professional spectator sports. Participation sports on the other hand are open for business.

Popovich has always been a jerk. Quite possible that he is a communist.

He was a Russian linguist on AD with the Air Force, but I don’t think that increases the odds...

“I will point out that the blacks do this too, and ... “

Pointing out other lunacy doesn’t make any lunacy easier to comprehend.

All true-but...”That said, yes, it is true that many many of us/our ancestors or immediate relatives came here from horrendous oppression.”

And when we arrived, we didn't have billions thrown at us for a leg up. I'm certain that racism exists globally, and in the US it's probably no different and hardly the worst that occurs.

Minorities here have greater opportunities, better treatment and a favored status in lending, education, employment, medical attention, court rooms, etc.

After 40+ years of affirmative action... it ought to be way different even given the claim of racism. Hell-the man I'm supposed to have married wouldn't go through with it because his family felt that I was educated far above my place in life and I have too many letters in my last name. THAT kind of bourgeois xenophobia ain't ever gonna die. Those country club jerks will be having babies with white hair and pink eyes before they ever get off dead center about 'outsiders'. It's just people and people STINK, everywhere!! Get over it!.

I didn't sit down and CRY about something that will never change. I know myself that there are places I will NEVER be accepted... so what!

Right-I got myself out of that when he overlooked their disrespect for HIM because me.

I never cared and still don’t care about places and people where I am not welcome. I also don’t believe it’s ‘racism’.

However, I was younger then so it took some doing to wrap my head around the fact that it wasn’t about ME...but rather, about them.

You learn your lessons in life that way... but it doesn’t mean you’re allowed to put a brick through a window over fundamental and immutable facts of life.
