Triple makes an analogy about a fat chick, and you guys turn it into a racist comment.

In a forum were we are anonymous its kinda going to happen. At the same time are some of you really that upset with his bias about women or just like to shame him for it?

Neither.

I'm discouraged this is the level some people here play on.

This sort of stuff is the Ron Baker of forum rhetoric.

That it's ugly and hateful is part of the problem. That others like it is the bigger one.

Americans aren't picky.

That's just your perception and isn't real.

You say Africa - you are racist
You say Arabs - you are Zionist
You say Russia - you are Mobster
and with this Americans are not picky and pron to stereotyping.
Of course they are.

Understood. It's your forum, so yes.

I'll focus on denigrating women for now on, which seems welcome and encouraged.

Honestly, Marv's and martin's comments were funny

America was founded on racism. The only way to lighten up, is to remove the soil, and plant new trees. Racism is deep in the soil we walk on. In the news we watch. In the justice system....in the classrooms....And as we have seen several times, it also infultrated our sports forum. So no, people will never lighten up. Instead, we need to bring these discussions of hurt, pain and racism to the fore front. But most people are still in denial, and don't think we have a problem anymore, or even worst, they ignore it because it doesn't affect them.

I'm just glad we have Martin and Andrew running the show, instead of the political idiots running America. Thank you!

I think I have enough posts on here decrying racism and other ethnic based hate to rebut the implication of racism.

having said that, the comments in question -- if anything -- were body-shaming (not racist) and clearly light-hearted not hate spreading

He may not show it, but he can't be happy one bit

Usually as a favor to some others I have relationships with/history with, I still help prep some guys for their Combine. I tell them what everyone else tells them and what I was told repeatedly, nearly every single day.

You want to be on the field? Play in a way where they can't take you off the field.

Kanter wants to get off the bench? Play in a way where the Knicks have no choice but keep him on the floor. A lot of players, Wade is probably the biggest culprit, see themselves in their prime/peak and refuse to see anything else. You are only as good as your last time on the field/floor. It's nice to have history, but if it's not helping you today, then it doesn't matter.

Any of you want to bang a super fat chick who used to be thin and hot 7 years ago? She was pleasant 7 years ago. She took care of herself 7 years ago. She actually took the time to smile 7 years ago. No one gives a **** of what you used to be, people give a **** what you can give right now.

Kanters comments reek of entitlement. No one gives you jack **** in this life, you have to go out and take it. Kanter is like a fat chick who won't shower or hit the treadmill or put down the fork but wonders why Prince Charming isn't ready to fix her ****ty credit and marry her already.

well just for the record . . . how fat are we talking here?

It really depends of the culture.
In some African countries the fatter the better...

African countries lol I've been to some place down south and Midwest where that seems to be the case.

I don’t know why but that reminded me of this gem:

LMAO!
