Wealth 99%. Race 1%.

Pretty sure OJ was guilty...

OK so if a white and black person have equal incomes and are in court (both are innocent), you think that the black person has an equal chance of being convicted?

Yes

You are wrong.

No I am not. I don't trust liberal studies.

Liberal studies? It's Michigan University? Wtf?

You don't think universities are biased toward the Left? Really?

No, I don't. It's Michigan U, Cmon. Michigan isn't even a liberal state.

Get serious, lol. Have you ever been to Ann Arbor? Read the Wikipedia page for an introduction.

Are all Michigan students from Ann Arbor?

LMAO --- I knew you could not give a one word answer.

Then the stats show the NBA and NFL are racist. Those stats are misleading. My dad and I used to own properties. There is a plethora of data that has to be reviewed before renting. Most significantly:

• Employment
• Compensation
• References

It has to do with comp. first and foremost followed by references. We can discuss each case individually if you like but stats show that whites are wealthier. That is not shocking. And I have explained to you that this delta is shrinking. Don't tell me what stats show, you are smart guy (compared to tangplay) you understand that stats can be misleading.

Jews by far are the wealthiest segment in the US. Does that mean I have Jewish privilege? Stats are misleading and you know this and that is why you hang your hat on them.

And you also can't read. I asked for a one word answer.

The NBA and NFL stats:
Are a tiny fraction of the populous.
However the NBA and NFL do discriminate.

I think you're wrong there, dino. if a white person or an Asian person or a jew had the same talenst as LeBron James, or Aaron Tom Brady, they'd be playing in the NBA or NFL if they wanted to. heck, there are abusers and criminals playing both because they have talent.

dino?

sorry, I meant tangplay

Oh, OK, yeah I agree with that sentiment, but again like we said with the racism bit, it is with all other things equal.

I believe that without the anthem stuff Colin Kaepernick would be on an NFL team right now.

You're right about Kaepernick, but it's not because of racism. It's because he is a distraction that teams don't want to deal with.

I agree with you that that is the reason.

Although I think it is a bad reason IMO.

Yeah, he has lost it.

Did you play competitive sports at a high level? If you didn't, I'll tell you teams don't want distractions unless you are incredibly talented. Pro sports have another layer because of the business aspect. You better either be able to bring in wins or revenue. The teams obviously feel that he doesn't do either well enough to justify the distractions that accompany him.

When the LA fans stop watching both teams (which might happen at any time) they could reconsider.

Yeah, he has lost it.

It's unfortunate. I misread the guy. I thought he was a good guy. People like him are a major reason why the dems have forfeited so much power in the last few elections. It's kind of like when HRC called Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables." That one comment pretty much sealed her fate.

Yep, at that point it will make sense financially to sign him. Drama, if managed properly, seems to really put fans in the stands.

I don't know anything about him...you all have a lot more experience than me. If the consensus is something changed recently, I'll take your word for it.

I always thought that he was a nice guy who was over sensitive, but he is really starting to come across as a jerk.

He has always had a reputation of censoring anything he disagrees with, but I feel like he has went off of the deep end lately. I don't want to speak negatively of him for 2 reasons: 1) I'm not sure he frequents other threads and I don't want to talk about him behind his back; and 2) he may have some stuff going on personally that we are all unaware of that is leading to his added bitterness. But, for whatever reason, he has lost it in his thread.

No. There's no reason to decry.

Any predictions on the Cavs/Warriors series? I'm going with Warriors in 6.

That sounds reasonable.

I wish you were right. It's all about the bottom line. Black kids sign for less. It's quite unfortunate, but it's definitely no secret.

That’s racism.

I thought the slotting system pretty much dictated how much each draft pick was offered these days so the answer surprised me.
