I also can't see a racist supporting college hoops 

There's a ton of black dudes on the Saints and LSU football teams, I doubt you're saying lsu and saints fans have no racists amongst them.

Racists love to support college hoops. If you listen to the reasoning for people liking college basketball over the NBA, like 70% of the time it's tinged with subtle racism. Every buzzword used to describe white athletes has college basketball connotations, and every buzzword with black athlete connotations is associated with the NBA

Everyone keeps telling me that.

It's really the opposite though. I've lived all around Florida. Vermont, Maryland, Arizona, Outside of Chicago, and my entire family is from Mississippi and Alabama.

I know all about racism and stereotypes but they rarely show up in everyday situations. At least around me.

shrinking thread

I for one am a big fan of ordinary out of shape fans getting the shite beat out of them by elite athletes, so I'm pretty disappointed that didn't happen.

Just bc someone says the n word doesn't mean they are racist.

I see a racist as someone who hates an entire race...I don't think that is as common as people think.

If you use racial slurs as a normal party of your vocabulary, you're a racist.

If you think that race is a good predictor of intelligence or character, you're a racist, by definition.

Most racists aren't riding around with white sheets on, nor do most of them belong to neo-Nazi organizations.

I read this whole thread, and while many candidates, ballcaster wins dumbest argument by saying that his punishment was carried out in the form of a techinal foul.

He should have been ejected from the game. If not for his own safety. It is the referees responsibility to control the game, and they lost control of it last night.

Also, the he was already in the stands argument is weak. He had his back turned and had to take a few strides to get to the fan.

Smart should and will be suspended for a period, you just can't do something like that, no matter what was said.

Yeh I was just making sure bc there is a double standard in this country when it comes to racism. So it's fair to say that maybe Smart is racist.

I don't agree. Smart should be suspended at least two games for going into the stands. Every kid in HS will be pulling a Ron Artest now.




So they don't pull a Ron Artest after the Ron Artest moment, but wait years later until some college kid does it and now every high school players is gonna start fighting fans?

Desmond Mason said he was called the n word every game in Lubbock, you can't go confront every arse hole racist fan


If true, then Lubbock has a way bigger problem on its plate.
I understand every now and then some a-hole fan will run his mouth too much, but every game? Someone who does that every game needs to get his arse kicked. If the players just stand there and take it then nothing is going to change

Texas Tech released a video where you can hear Orr call him a piece of crap. LINK
