I kinda feel bad for these kids.. He has already got more involved and put more pressure on them than they deserve... The guy is A total dick for doing this... I am very tired of his mouth already... He just needs to shut up and let his kids be kids..... I have zero problem with him wanting the BEST for his kids though.. Just tone it down some..............

There might be some top black players in womens, but overall, the white women are better basketball players.

Not really but it's not nearly the gap it is in men's basketball.

so the remark isn't funny because it could cost his kid money, but it would be funny if he tried to represent his kid and failed thus costing him money...okie dokie. I have no problem with enjoying the misery of others, but quit bullshitting us...why is it sad I think a remark is funny, but you get to be mr sanctimonious AND think this is funny. what a greedy little frick


You can't read for shite. His remark isn't funny because all it is a dumb opinion based off a racist stereotype. I would hope that a functioning adult would know not to spout off stupid remarks that just alienate his kid and make him look even worse than he already does.

Yes, him failing in an endeavor that he is in no way prepared to perform would be funny and appropriate to me.

Ok, you called me out. I'm gay. What are you pointing out exactly? Gay people can't have sports or cultural opinions? Are you trying to shame me for it?

You probably aren't winning the Matholympics with 3 black guys either so what's the point?

And of course soccer.

There was an article in Sports Illustrated awhile back...about that entire era of white athletes that were basically told - "you can't play basketball" - "white men can't jump" - "you are too slow, too unathletic" - there was tremendous racism toward the white athlete...so kids who were born in the 80's - didn't grow up playing basketball...

They weren't told they weren't good enough for baseball - so they played baseball and then soccer became popular in the 90's.

While the white element in the NBA was replaced by foreign-born players who weren't told in Europe or South America that they weren't good enough by coaches and the media like kids were in America.

I've had conversations about this with a brother-in-law overseas - he's British - and when people grow up with soccer, they don't see the black athlete as superior to the white athlete...it's totally different than here in America.
