POLITICAL THREAD

[bwls1]

I called it. I knew immediately it was BS. Knew it. Why? Because Muslims pull this crap all the time. Second, those of us who absolutely detest Muslims, don’t bother to even get around them let alone try to cut their stupid headpiece.

Jesus, please tell me you're being facetious. On a related note, I heard that other coaches have been showing Zion Williamson this thread. We're obviously entitled to think whatever we want, but *damn* these kinds of views look ugly on us.

Imagine if someone sends a screenshot of your post to Enes Kanter on Twitter...

good one, you had me going there for a minute, well done sir.

...then hit us with this.

I call BS on this. Very idiotic post. Just another attempt by some moron to try and control what is posted on here. Go away.

Just heard Gutfeld say that during the Hawaii press conference on Saturday, instead of showing it live, CNN chose to skip it and rerun Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury interviews.

I mean, let's be honest. We have a dude with a confederate flag in his avatar. There are hundreds and hundreds of replies here that are highly inflammatory when it comes to ethnicity, religion, and the crazy idea that some people might not be conservative with their political views.

All of them under a banner that implies you're a supporter of UK athletics.

You don't think that's worth considering?

Let's be honest. You're a troglodyte and have absolutely no clue what my avatar means and/or stands for. It's an inside joke. Those on this board get it. Making an uninformed assumption makes you the moron.

You don't think that's worth considering.

Nope, because it's nonsense. Also, if it isn't nonsense, and this thread is truly being shown and recruits take it into consideration, then screw 'em. It's not like we're personally bashing recruits in the political thread. We are all entitled to our opinions and if anyone, much less a basketball recruit, can't handle that, then they can piss off.

 

[CatsFanGG24]

Enes Kanter post was solid

I prefer Nazr Mohammed though - the 97 free throw deal still hurts though.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

So the 4 indictments surrounding uranium one... we're all settled so that no transcripts are public..

They were all prosecuted by the same people..Andrew Weissman and rod rosenstein

They were all assigned to...fbi agent Andrew McCabe...

They were all assigned to the same judge, Theodore Chuang... who went to Harvard with obama.. AND was the same judge who ruled against trumps travel ban.

AND NOW...that same judge has been assigned to the Lambert case.




What .... the.... fu...

Because obviously someone very powerful are pulling strings for them obviously. Probably a group of people.

But who? I don't see how it can be kept so quiet

Well #metoo went too far. Atlantic printed an oped that most agree with. This was an excerpt.

They say this was just a case of white woman trying to tear down a brown person.

LOL. Can only make frivilous sexual harassment claims against white people. Because OF COURSE

I said it before that we're obviously entitled to our own opinions.

I just know I'd be taken aback if I was a black athlete reading those replies when the NFL protests were a hot topic. I remember seeing stuff that was (IMO) insensitive at best and downright hateful at worst. Lots of those replies should probably be on Reddit instead of a UK message board.

Where is the flag? In any case no, when we start controlling what people are allowed to post politically because of PC, the left wins. Not something this country can survive imo.

This is Libs ideal candidate. Checks most every of their boxes.

Finally saw the flag, had to click on avatar. Still don't care.

And, white or black, you'd be an idiot to allow the opinions of random, anonymous posters in a political thread affect you emotionally. Sports aren't a safe space, especially professional sports where you're paid millions.

If said athlete can't handle dumbass political opinions, how's he going to handle the heat of a professional fanbase dogging him on TV, the radio, message boards etc... every waking moment? My advice? Man up and grow thicker skin.

Yeah, this is a weird deal for me. I don't particularly like him, but I don't think he was that far out of line, either. The claw thing was creepy, but he never forced or threatened her to do anything. Edited to say that the story indicates he always stopped when she said stop... he was just hard headed and persistent about starting agin and that's where the line gets fuzzy.

I believe she was trying to bring him down for attention or money or whatever, but I don't think skin color can play a part after she willfully polished a brown man's knob at the behest of mere gesturing.

 

[vhcat70]

So what countries can be called shitholes without someone being called a racist by someone?

Exactly. It was odd, in poor taste, whatever. But nothing forceful or against her will. It's a sham like most of these claims are.

My problem is noone in media came to a man's defense until it was a "brown" person accused.

I can only speak for myself, but:
1) Tell me, who in this thread has a confederate flag in his or her avatar?
2) "Highly inflammatory" is subjective. To whom? Snowflakes?
3) The reason I visit and participate in this thread is because, I seek an honest, frank discussion of the issues that face America today. I welcome your opinion into this marketplace of ideas. But leave your bleeding heart at the door, not really interested in sparing anyone's feelings when our nation is in such poor shape.

You know, majority honkey countries.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Depends. If you're gop, you can't say anything. If a lib, can say whatever you want.

Pretty much a baseline rule for anything

"Former President Barack Obama resurfaced on Friday and took a shot at Fox News viewers, saying they’re “living on a different planet” than people who consume mainstream media."

So if FN viewers live on a different planet, they can't be human since all humans live on earth. Net, Obama has called FN viewers inhuman. But somehow that's not as outrageous as calling places, not people, shit holes?

 

[vhcat70]

So you can call Norway a shit hole, & that's OK even though that's not naming people either. Thanks. Got it.

Not to mention, that's a picture of Lexie Lynne -- UK's biggest, poorest, hungriest, transsexual fan. How dare @bwls1 disparage her.

And to be clear, the most crass replies have nothing to do with politics. They're usually indictments on an entire race/ethnicity/religious group, coupled with numerous "likes."

That could totally be framed as a snapshot of UK fans, especially considering the preexisting Kentucky stereotype of dumb, country, racist, etc.

I hope Pat Forde doesn't get this idea: "Hey I'm gonna go through this entire 2,000-page thread and screenshot the most extreme comments I can find. Then I'm gonna land them in an article about college sports and message boards."

It would no doubt be damaging.

WASHINGTON—Shortly before his death in February 2016, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke favorably of Donald Trump’s presidential run.

“Justice Scalia thought it was most refreshing to have a candidate who was pretty much unfiltered and utterly frank,” said the late jurist’s literary collaborator, Bryan Garner, a legal dictionary editor who spent two weeks in 2016 traveling with Justice Scalia through several Asian countries.

This one by the left. They have been doing it for a while now without consequence or backlash.

Obama is a shithole.

Pat Forde, you're a f***ing fag.

Screenshot that.

Let's be real... this was just a white liberal who thinks it's okay for her to speak for minorities. Media member is a stretch.

Oh dude, stfu.

There's maybe 1 out of every 500 posts that could be considered bad.. and usually, they're tongue in cheek. Get the hell over yourself.


Is Missouri still getting black athletes? If forde(is that you or your employer) wants to write an article about anonymous message board posters.. I hope he's not expecting an award.

 

[moe_schmoe]

Tell me, who in this thread has a confederate flag in his or her avatar?

I do, but I'm paying homage. She's a hell of a gal going through some hard times. Explained below...

lexielynne,
Hey fellow UK fans! My name is Lexie. I have no idea who else to turn to so i'm hoping someone here could help me out. It's at the end of the month, and I am out of money and out of food. So i am wondering if someone could lend me $20 through paypal, and I will be glad to pay you back come the 29th. (I get my SS Check early due to the 1st being a holiday). If you could be so generous, please send the money to my PayPal email lexielynne83@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!

We all start at 0. Been lurking on this thread for a while and figured I'd interact. Been browsing Rupp Rafters forever, which is easily the best college bball board on the internet. Go Cats. Also, not sold that Vanderbilt is going to change the team's trajectory this year. Dude is clearly scared to step on the floor.
