How many NBA teams do you have to use to match the police blotter of the Bengals? Why doesn't their unending string of law-breaking inspire the 'thug' stereotyping?

For all the uproar over the occasional NBA fight, I've yet to see anything more violent/disgusting than Haynesworth' stomp.

Years ago, Charles Barkley spit at a heckler and accidentally hit a little girl. I think that would qualify as more disgusting.

So what if you are on a plane and say 7 guys dress in white gowns and turbons get on your plane with no luggage and start chanting, would you say anything??

If any fanatical group shows up in a plane with very suspicious behavior, I'd be concerned. (Does "chanting" qualify?) It wouldn't matter if they were white, black, indian, or nazgul.

Spitting on someone picking a fight with you is worse than stomping on someone's uncovered face with metal spikes?

I would also be willing to wager that the number of MLB players that cheat on their wives is higher than any other sport based on pure numbers. Which means that there is probably a "Shawn Kemp" playing for every team in the league. Except that they are probably Latino or white.

Per player, I'd say the NBA has more crybabies and a-holes than any other sport. Just my opinion. I can't even tolerate watching one NBA game anymore much less most professional sports.

Every year it becomes more about the money, it becomes less about the sport. If collegiate athletes begin to get paychecks, I might have to take up knitting.

Roberto Alomar spit in an umps face...It happens in all sports, that is the point we have been trying to get you to understand, is it a problem yes, we have all said that, but to just label it a problem in the NBA is being naive, probably due in part to fact that you actually like to watch the NFL, MLB and don't watch NBA...

we've been down this road, you can't say thug without being labeled a racist.

Its truly sad that you are missing the big picture here...how can you not see the broad stereotyping?

You are about to go through many years of senseless stereotyping garbage. I truly expected you to have a wider vision than you have displayed in this thread.

Stereotyping happens with race, religion, and disabilities...I hope you don't learn that lesson firsthand.

one i would say something to the airline and if they let them on the plane then i would get off of it.

If your stupid enough to not due anything then so be it.

Why would you say anything? Maybe they didnt have any carrry on's and how would you know they didnt have any luggage?

Maybe they are nervous about flying so they are praying.
