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.

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.

Wow! Dino has gone absolutely crazy. I used to try to the defend the guy, but man, he's nuts.

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.

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.

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.

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

You're probably right, Tang.

Yeah, that kinda undermined the whole 'when they go high, you go low' thing. SAD.

Although it's the bed of needles problem. DJT can say or do whatever and he is just 'trolling the libs'.
HRC says one thing and suddenly she loses.

Tang the soothsayer has spoken.

His thread used to be a lot more tolerant, CCCP and I would argue there instead of here, but now he turns it into an anti Trump thread. He also shifted to the left noticeably recently.
