OT: Jason Whitlock disgrace

[CMIZ5290]

Can you imagine what his 580 pound a** would say if a reporter of another race made a comment like that pertaining an african american player?

For the purposes of full disclosure, I'm a white guy but this is something I have often noticed and asked myself over the years.

He likes reaction, either one way or another. Good or bad.

FoxSports knew what they were getting when they paid him 800k per year.

[brownscollector78]

800k?

Thats a lot of riiibbbbsssssssssss

[YankeeCollector]

Its unfortunate but if a white guy said this, he would be fired on the spot!! It's such a double standard.
Something wrong with this pic if he's pulling in 800k!

[alanu]

He's like PETA, any publicity is good publicity.

[dstraate]

It kind makes Tony Kornheuiser's Sausage in a Skin comment seem pedestrian.

I understand what you're trying to say but I don't see anything unfortunate about it. For nearly the first 50 years of the last century baseball kept black players out of their major leagues and racism ran rampant not only in the sports pages, but also on the fields themselves. These were write sportswriters and white players.

While I agree that if something is wrong for one person to say it should be wrong for another, I do not think anyone is unfortunate for being born a white male in this country and I don't think anything is lost in not being able to make racist comments.

So if this guy he commented about was white would this thread even be here? Society is to over sensitive to stuff. If your not happy then F- the majority and give favor to the minority. I had a conversation with a few of my cousins (yes blood related) severals yrs back about comments made to me and some friends we were with. I asked Lee if the fact that I was related to him if it made it ok to say the word "Nigga" to him and others since he did and has called me that several times. He looked kinda stunned and answered NO!! How stunning it was to me. Its ok for another race to make racial slurs all the time and publicly at that, but if anyone else says it of another race its an issue. So how about "PRACTICING WHAT YOU PREACH" or Shut the Flip up for craps sake.

So , basically reverse discrimination is ok? Some people never learn. This was a messed up comment that would have gotten anyone not African American canned!
Whitlock is a hater, plain and simple! It's a shame that these idiots are given a forum to speak their hatred.

I live in KC Mo and Jason Whitlock was run out of town for runnin his mouth too much.

Now Floyd Mayweather is stickin his foot in his mouth about Lin

[glchen]

I actually don't think what Mayweather said was that bad since on a similar note, I think that much of the publicity is because Lin is playing in New York. If this were in Cleveland, this news would barely make the radar, IMHO. I think as teams start "game planning" for Lin, his productivity may go down, but I'm hoping for the best.

I stopped listening to East Coast SPN long ago...since they don't acknowledge existence of anything out here west of the Missisippi (except for the Lakers)...juvenile incidents like this only adds to my disdain for that channel.
