Dominion posted:Well, fair enough. I suppose the next question is whether or not it's ok to keep a team name that offends 5-12% of the racial group it refers to. That's a fair question. But it's not fair to say that those who don't find it offensive are racist or to say that there's any clear cut answer as to whether the name can be written as clearly offensive in the social sense. Is 9% enough? There's plenty of room for debate. Democrazy fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jul 3, 2011 |

Drew Carey has unironically stated that if the native americans don't like the way they're portrayed as sports mascots/nicknames, they should have fought harder. It is very important his precious Cleveland Indians not have to change their logo. Sorry an entire government enacted genocide against you, but you lost fair and square so now we get to use offensive racial caricatures to represent our sports teams all we like. Deal with it.

Dan Snyder doesn't care about red people. On an actual note, being australian I know nothing about Native Americans other than what I've learned watching Deadwood but I didn't think Redskin was a derogative term? are people pissed off because they (non-native americans) use the name referring to native americans because native americans were systematically killed by the government or is it actually a derogatory term like negro or whatever else the cool kids at caste football are using these days?

Caste football is a special kind of racist, where they believe blacks are dumb and valued only for their athletic prowess, but also that white athletes are superior. Basically they think all blacks are good athletes but dumb, so the elite white athletes are inherently better because they can ALSO be smart and not lazy and shiftless or uppity or whatever code words they use.

Here's a bunch from one specific poster at FSU's warchant. It's not quite the racist wunderland that caste is, but I like to think it's pretty good. WAR PAINT Golden Chief Post #7315 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Meet your new coaching staff.... Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HC...Fisher DC...Al Groh OC...Frig use bowden saved cash to hire these 2 ************************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Golden Chief Post #7200 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Will FSU fans ever learn Admin | Edit | Reply to handle the burden of once being a Dynasty? JMO but when that burden is not there, the season suddenly takes on a totally different perspective. Just a thought but when the kids and fans start enjoying the great sport of CFB rather than whining and bitching about it FSU will be on its way back. *************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Golden Chief Post #7079 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: Manny Diaz sure did impress us all tonight, didn't he? Admin | Edit | Reply Originally posted by FSU91: Ouch ... Troy scored 31 points and racked up 455 yards of offense on this young mastermind including 264 rushing yards on 49 carries. That's a nice 5.4 yards per carry. Man, I can't wait to have him come on board as our DC. Hopefully this will help put an end to the idea of him coming on board as a DC at FSU next year. This post was edited on 10/6 11:48 PM by FSU91 As usual 91 Spot on! Hey Diaz may or may not be the answer. It is most amusing how you rile up the GRASS is GREENER crowd. You do realize they know more about talent evaluation of coaches than anyone in the game today? Watch out 91' They be comin' to getcha! LOL ********************************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Golden Chief Post #7069 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: Mike Bianchi comin out swingin at Ann Bowden Admin | Edit | Reply I love how Bianchi panders to this misguided fan base. FSU fans agreeing with a Gator writer whose agenda against FSU is legendary. LOL Whenever a gator journalist comes out in defense of a position guarantee it is not to FSU's benefit. ********************************************************************************************************** Originally posted by WAR PAINT: Fans against former FSU players that totally support Bobby his family etc.??? What do they know about Bowden compared to some angry message board poster? Could it be they understand what the IMAGE of FSU means to many of the Nation and who brought FSU that image?? Geesh! Can someone on the other side tell me how this is a good thing for anyone truly concerned about FSU? So the only ones FSU should listen to are bunch of angry fans that wouldn't even be complaining had FSU beat Miami and USF. This segment of our fan base is becoming a NATIONAL DISGRACE and the laughing stock of CFB. You reap what you sow! I Know the drill... "Is that you Bobby, JB, Ann etc?" And the answer is always the same Nope! I just see how incredibly misguided our fan base has become to what truly is best for FSU. NewsFlash! IT AIN'T BOBBY THAT IS DESTROYING THE PROGRAM! I repeat until the FSU fan base stops its whining and learns to support the program WIN or LOSE the downward spiral will continue. You don't get success by trashing the coaches and players. jmo Oh and if you think Derrick Brooks will back this angry misguided fan movement you are crazy! He just got a taste of it in Tampa. **************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Golden Chief Post #7035 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy What do Smith, Trickett, 12 feet, and 72 inches have in common? Admin | Edit | Reply Rick Trickett...... Lets just get down to the issue. With all the rumblings going on in Tallahassee, RT is so thankful the spotlight is on BB and not him. In my opinion,(according what most of you think about coaching making the difference) if RT would have done his job, Jim Smith would have not said a word. we would be sitting 4-1 and looking goog for the remainder of the season. Against USF, all we needed to do was gain 12 feet in four downs to punch it in. We could not get 12 feet, and as a matter of fact lost about 30 feet. You would think the OL and RT would show some resolve, get a gut check, inpose their will the very next opportunity they had. Well 7 days later they had their chance. This time the distance was cut in half to 6 feet. First and goal from the 2. Last weeks collapse in their mind. So in 4 plays we cant get 6 feet, a distance less than the heigth of each lineman. 4 plays and we got about 24 inches. Six inches a play. Are you serious? I assure you Lincoln HS could have scored on one of thosre possessions. Rick Trickett are you serious?] If you truely can make the difference then DO SO. ************************************************************************************************************** Originally posted by WAR PAINT: The fact that the same posters continually bumped the thread shows how childish and infantile they really are. They are just a bunch of crybabies that need to be spanked and put to bed. Hopefully, one day they will develop a SPINE with character, decency, ethics, integrity, and honesty that cheers WIN OR LOSE AND SUPPORTS THE TEAM AND COACHES to replace that one filled with spoiled, undeserved entitlement that just enjoys whining and whimpering and feeling sorry for themselves... Absolutely Pathetic! I bet their hero was the fan that carried the sign degrading Chris Rix! They indeed are the cancer that is killing FSU. Nothing to do with the players or coaches busting their asses every day ******************************************************************************************************* WAR PAINT Assistant Coach Post #9203 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: would we be 6-1 (4-0) if changes werent made? Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fisher and every member of the staff are here either directly or indirectly due to Bowden. His exit was handled poorly by FSU. FSU will be the only school in history to kick a Head Coach to the curb with the longest winning and bowl streak in Division One Bowl streak at his exit. That is now part of the historical record. Every change that was made could have been made with out the train wreck and that is why Fisher in his own words stated he had no problems with Bowden returning for one last season and judging by the success this year is it any wonder why Bobby wanted that one more year. Senior QB Veteran OL lots of talented young players returning? Its OK though after all Fisher is just winning with Bobby's players that all were brought in under his tenure although a couple Jones and Green took a bit more convincing to come to FSU after Bobby's uncomfortable exit. All the changes that occurred this year would never have happened had it not been for Bowden. He hired Fisher and many of the coaches. Do you guys also dislike Fisher who certainly doesn't share your opinion of Bowden? Gosh, I thought everyone was excited about all that he has done. *********************************************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Assistant Coach Post #9210 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: would we be 6-1 (4-0) if changes werent made? Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As to the extra cash I am not sure that Bobby wouldn't have taken very little above his severance if it meant FSU making additional hires. laughing dog There is nothing mysterious about the "black eye". The benefit to the program would be FSU would not look like a bunch of disrespectful rubes in handling the exit of Bowden to the nation. A farewell tour would have been a great promotion for FSU to the nation and would have put FSU in a wonderful positive light. Thankfully, the train wreck is attributable to only two individuals, and hopefully next season a proper game will be set up for Bowden. He remains a most visible and important asset to the program throughout the nation. All this disrespect and angst towards the man is not in FSU's best interest. Our head coach respects and holds the highest esteem for BOBBY and has said so many times.. The big question is why can't you? ************************************************************************************************ Peasant Head Coach Post #10153 Charlotte MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: Bowden on Hannity - the problem is a lack of candor Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by WAR PAINT: The Nation Treasures Bobby Bowden. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my favorite part of these threads, WAR PAINT saying stupid poo poo like this. That seriously made me laugh out loud. I can just picture a family of four in Wyoming gathered around the tube after dinner and listening intently with warm smiles on their faces as Hannity interviews Bobby. After the interview is over, the father tells his kids in a somber and serious manner that they were blessed to watch that great man's interview, and to realize that they were witnesses to a living, national treasure. ******************************************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Assistant Coach Post #8456 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: What does Dot and A2005 think of FSU SEC? Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I read somewhere that Jimbo Fisher is not in favor of going to the SEC. ***************************************************************************************************************** WAR PAINT Assistant Coach Post #8415 Suwanee, Ga. MyFanPage Add Buddy Re: I like Jeff Cameron Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by bayou georgebears: Yes he is and that is the type of childish behavior you are a fan of. If he was anything more than a Johnny come lately he would be on a real station by now. There is always a freshman class at FSU so there will always be enough immature kids to keep him on the air. He will never get off of that little AM station because his toilet humor is tired and played out. His opinions on sports is worthless because he uses way to much hyperbole and makes too many attacks on players and coaches. He is a shock Jock, just because he can't get away with howard sterns crap doesn't mean he is any different. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agree. Such types appeal to the lowest common denominator of sports fans. He really has only one purpose, and that is for those with self loathing and entitlement issues to focus on coaches and players that oddly define their own self worth. Once the transfer has occurred those players or coaches are the reason for all their misery as they soak down a few more cry in your beers at the local pub. How odd it must be to kiss gator butt and boo the home team? That they expect some sort of praise for such behavior is the ultimate paradox as they scream "Garnet and Gold glasses" like it was the worst attribute one could have. Always thought that is what defined a true fan. Personally, I hold the highest regard for those that understand football is just a game, cheer win or lose, and support the home team through thick and thin. I believe that is called CHARACTER. Losing is never enjoyable but overreacting is a bit foolish and childish. JMO **********************************************************************

AndItsAllGone posted:Haha, is that a real thing? http://www.jewishmag.com/45mag/basketball/basketball.htm "The reason, I suspect, that basketball appeals to the Hebrew with his Oriental background," wrote Paul Gallico, sports editor of the New York Daily News and one of the premier sports writers of the 1930s, "is that the game places a premium on an alert, scheming mind, flashy trickiness, artful dodging and general smart aleckness." Writers opined that Jews had an advantage in basketball because short men have better balance and more foot speed. They were also thought to have sharper eyes, which of course cut against the stereotype that Jewish men were myopic and had to wear glasses, but who said stereotypes had to be consistent?

I just wonder why no one has started a campaign that the New York Jets is offensive because of 9/11. Also all this talk about Favre made me look up Jenn Sterger on Wikipedia. Her career really took a nosedive after that scandal. quote:On March 4, 2010 it was announced that she would be competing directly with ESPN's 6pm ET SportsCenter by co-hosting a new show on Versus called The Daily Line, which debuted on April 5. Jenn said, "I always felt sports TV was a bunch of guys in suits yelling at me. Other shows don't exactly know how to use social media and the Web," says Sterger. "Since I'm practically living on the Web, I've got a pulse on what going on out there.....And I'll be personally accessible to the audience, except for my personal phone number."[12] After seven months on the air, Versus cancelled The Daily Line as of November 4, 2010.[2] In 2011, Sterger worked as a reporter on specials for Fuel TV.
