Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry in trouble

Random Thought-

[to self] "You know, if Alan could get Jimmy the Greek Snyder on SGN to clear this up in a chat, I might join.... well... if its still $49...."

Or morons who decide they can assign intent to everything someone else says. Was it a stupid thing to say? Sure was, partly because it may not be true, and partly because he should have known the reaction he was going to get. Does that make him a racist? Not if he didn't say it with any malice, and I don't know what his intent was...and neither do you. It's fine to diasgee with his point, and maybe he's totally wrong...but the fact that the racist card gets played anytime anyone says anything anymore is what's pathetic.

Oh, sorry, forgot to add the :tibor:

I didn't call him a racist...just ignorant. I think if you review my comments I never addressed his intent nor did it ever enter my mind. In my opinion racism is ignorance+hatred and there was nothing in DeBerry's comments that indicated that they came from anything but stupidity. Maybe the dude is a straight up racist...maybe he isn't. Regardless, his comments were stupid as hell.

I apologize for the watch repair example. It was an attempt to poke fun at Reggie White's stupid comments regarding race that clearly went poorly.

I was just kidding about that. I didn't really have any probem with your example(s). I was just trying to be an asshole. Mission accomplished! :biggrin:

DeBerry ripped in Ivan Maisel's 3-Point Stance this afternoon:
The saddest thing about Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry making the statements about the need for more black players to compete is that the Falcons promptly went out and got routed by BYU, which may be the whitest school in Division I-A.
:slappy:
