Do tattoos make you bad at basketball?

If tattoos on basketball players bother you, you sound like a woman watching a beauty pageant and criticizing Miss Indiana's hips.

I don't get this. True, pro athletes are pretty much set financially. What I don't understand are the people who get tattoos and then have to get jobs.

You aren't going to get hired inked up like that.

Military tatoos honoring a particular branch or unit are cool - they mean something. Tatoos just for fashion are stupid.

Even that has been around for centuries. Get over it, folks. Just because it's rare with white people doesn't make it bad.

Tatoos are disgusting and cosmetic mutilation for white thrash. It also looks ridiculous when men have eariings.

A poster made a good point. If LSU is Purple and Gold, why does everything look Blue and Gold these days.

Re the game last night, too bad nobody was there to see it.

Watching the LMU - LSU game I noticed how clean-cut all the LSU players were and how they looked like basketball was the most important thing in their world..and they played like it as well. Now..and I'm not just ragging on LSU..its tattoos gone wild..and not subtle ones either but nasty-arse tattoos crawling up and down the arms, on the back, etc. It just looks trashy IMO. I wish this whole tattoo fad would pass. Alot of these kids will be regretting it one day.



But our football players who we fawn over definitely don't have any tattoos. No sir, all of them are clean cut especially since we can't see most of their shoulders and arms when they wear their pads. Lawd help us if we could actually see that several of our baseball and football stars have tattoos too.

I used to get a kick out of some of the old farts at basketball games in 2000-2001ish. When Beshera would make a bad pass or turn the ball over or do something incredibly stupid, the farts would seem to all say stuff like, "Bless his heart--he's hustlin' so hard." But when Torris Bright--who happened to be a black guy with a gold tooth and tattoos and no smile--happened to do the exact same thing, all I heard was "Too flashy! Work on the fundamentals and stop having such a bad attitude!"

Yeah, it's not like men got tattoos in the 1940s or anything.


Booom!...bigtime. isn't it amazing how every generation when they reach 50ish thinks music that isn't 30yrs old sucks and the kids are going to destroy society? read the letters to the editors from 100 or 200yrs ago and it's the same as today. Taxes are too high...government sucks...morals are decayed...blah, blah, blah freakn' blah.

to me, your age doesn't matter. kids with wild tatoos are gonna be sorry one day, esp the highly visible. cuts your chances down of landing a good job no matter what they say. hey, it's their body; i try not to judge. but "clean cut" involves much more than tatoos. a person, regardless of age, is clean cut (IMHO) if they are clean, wear clean clothes, trim their hair and beard and are nice and respect others. i find most young people, regardless of their tatoos are ok, esp college kids.

If you looked at me you'd never tell I have a tattoo, so no it would never affect me getting a job. I have absolutely no regrets getting it because its a LSU tattoo and it means a whole helluva lot to me. Its on my upper right shoulder where no one but my wife can see it. But me working in a hospital would never get a tattoo that was visible.
