Let's not kid ourselves, yes there's some good guy but there's more [Mark May]stains than good guys. If there's one thing the NBA is good at it's sweeping their dirt under the rug :wink:

You have no basis for this statement that there are more shitstains than good guys. Bottom
Line is that statistically they seem on par with the community at large. Probably time to let that assumption of yours die. There are plenty of losers in sports-no doubt. Meanwhile watch Wolf of Wall St and get back to me how white collar is any better. Bad guys exist everywhere.

AC Green said it himself, give these kids that have had no accountability due to their athletic ability, coddle them, give them a pass, protect them because once they get signed to a contract they become a personal asset and you've created a monster, cut and dry. Yes, there's plenty of white collar shitstains on wall street, that goes without saying. But that a subject for another thread.

Better even.

I understand the perception of NBA players as criminals. Any time one of them does something stupid, it's a big news story. But the statistics prove that they're actually significantly more law-abiding than the public that's critical of them. It is time to let the myth die.

Bottom line: The NBA has a lot more good guys than bad guys. Like 9 out of 10 guys have no criminal record whatsoever. That's better than my profession and I wear a suit to work everyday.

So basically you can't back up your Taosman-esque broad brush attacks.
, go ask all them womyn that have been raped, all the baby mommas not getting their child support. If you need any more evidence of the dysfunction that takes place within the NBA community take a gander and Basketball wives :lol:

Yeah, that's totally a basketball thing and not an alpha male thing.

So no basis whatsoever. Just sweeping remarks and no understanding that this crap exists everywhere. Geez dude, you sound more and more like the subject of this thread.

I'm not attacking blacks as so much I'm pointing out that there exists a a privileged culture within pro sports where actions are swept under the rub in order to protect a brand. Of course not all players are bad nor all violators are black but it's undeniable that these kids (well men actually) live by a different set of rules than the rest of us. That's just a fact jack.

Which raises the question of why you've chosen instead to make this about basketball.
