Holy crap, this takes PC to a whole new level!

[LoneLaugher]

If we could somehow marginalize all the liars of the PC Police, perhaps we could see some improvement in race relations in this country.

Not until then, though.

Like who? Name names.

One of the more annoying dishonest behaviors of hardcore partisan ideologues is the way they love to be obtuse.

As you know - and you do know, because you respond like Pavlov's dog to anything I say about PC - there is a clear and significant difference between responding to "offensive" (ha ha) comments and levying "consequences" for them. And, as usual, you lie and say that I want to pretend that racism doesn't exist. But lying is okay for you.

What I want is open conversation about these issues so that we (yes, believe it or not, you and I are on the same side on many of these issues) can change hearts and minds. But you're not interested in open conversation, because you choose to intimidate by issuing "consequences". You're a coward who doesn't want to get his hands dirty by engaging in honest, challenging conversation, the standard behavior of what I call the PC Police.

Your blatant, partisan ideology-driven dishonesty is becoming tedious. You're not trying to fix or improve a thing.

.

Except this wasn't a case of "PC". This was a case where a guy wrote a letter saying, in essense, 'We don't have enough white folks coming to games, and it's not lucrative enough for us."

And when someone- probably a fellow executive - outed him, he resigned before a consumer backlash could hit.

Mac, you are kind of becoming like the boy who cried Wolf.

Even if some day, you might find a case of Political Correctness run amok, you've cried wolf so many times, no one takes you seriously.

Joe, I would never, ever expect someone like you to take me seriously.

If you did, I would have to re-examine my position.

It's best that you remain in your partisan cocoon.

But thanks for caring.

I don't take you seriously because you've become to PC what Silhouette has become to Gay threads.

Holy crap, this takes PC to a whole new level!

Actually it takes the ridiculous myth of 'PC' to a whole new inane level.

Jones doesnt believe Political Correctness exists......hold on a second.....

 

[Luddly Neddite]

"Making himself sell his own team" does sound a bit bipolar...
I mean what if he argues and talks himself out of it? Who won?

Skimming through the e-mail he's worried about I don't see anything offensive. He's not even talking about race; he's talking about cultures and demographics and marketing. So what?
There's a silent backstory here - somebody in the org is making a little power play.

I think he should sit himself down and reconsider and maybe convince himself that he's full of shit.
Let's hope it doesn't come to fisticuffs. That might challenge the laws of physics. Or generate some new challenges in the field of sports injuries.

Maybe he'll show himself some mercy and just issue a three-game suspension.

.

This is what the NBA has came to.

Ten years ago? A black player chokes his coach into unconsciousness while calling him a stupid cracker, nothing said.

Today, white man writes the word BLACK in an email and decides he better sell his stake in the team before someone goes after him for racism.

Ridiculous.

You mean "has COME to" and you're wrong.

If the he wanted to keep the team then he would try. I find this full of horseh*t. He wants to sell the team.
It's a great PR story for him.

I don't take you seriously because you've become to PC what Silhouette has become to Gay threads.

Yet every time I mention it, you and the rest of the PC Police immediately jump in and get defensive, posting several times about my comments.

Every. Single. Time.

So that whole "I don't take you seriously" line just doesn't cut it.

Pavlov's dogs react every time.

And every time Sil gets on here with her Homophobic Crazy, we mock her, too.

Because it's the kind of thing that really needs to be mocked.

If he wanted to sell the team, why not just sell it? Now he's selling the team and everyone thinks he's a bigot, and because he's coming off a little desperate to get rid of the team, they are going to get him at a discount.

I've seen a couple of articles now where this guy's motives are coming under question.

Starting to look like he may be trying to leverage PC for his own gain.

Excellent. The tactic of PC is becoming more and more diluted and trivialized every day.

Pretty soon they'll have to actually engage in conversation rather than resort to intimidation and "consequences".

.

I'd say he is cynically using race to his own advantage. A race baiting skank.

This appears to be an actual story:

Bruce Levenson will sell Atlanta Hawks after releasing racist e-mail

This team owner turned himself in for writing a "racist" email in 2012, and he is punishing himself by making himself sell his team.

I am not making this up.

.

No, PC to a whole new level is a mayor berating someone for not standing for the pledge and then having the person escorted out by the cops.

This guy is probably trying to stir up controversy to make a buck.

Your welcome.

Deflection noted.

You're welcome.

Perhaps you should put more thought into your thread titles as that one was easily debunked.

"Debunked" by a bunch of hardcore left wing partisan ideologues (the PC Police) in defensive mode.

I'm SO DEBUNKED!

[Ravi]

Good to see you admit it.

 

[Mac1958]

Sarcasm is lost on this one.

Living in a partisan cocoon does that to ya, I guess.

Talk about projection.

I'm thinking he saw the huge payday that the Sterlings got, so he wants to cash out before the market for NBA teams drops.
