What in the hell is the point of having a dress code in a job where everyone's just gonna show up and immediately take their nice clothes off anyway?

back in the 90s and early aughts, nba players (black) and other athletes (black ones) and (black) entertainers dressed casually and in baggy clothes. sure, it might be a $5k ensemble, not including jewelry, but this disturbed and frightened the monied and connected because they (black) dressed like "thugs." gallons of ink were used at newspapers and hours spent on talking head TV and sports radio stations talking about what a terrible example these "thugs" (black) were having on our children.

the NBA instituted a dress code in the mid aughts, which banned:

quote:

Sleeveless shirts
Shorts
T-shirts, jerseys, or sports apparel (unless appropriate for the event (e.g., a basketball clinic), team-identified, and approved by the team)
Headgear of any kind while a player is sitting on the bench or in the stands at a game, during media interviews, or during a team or league event or appearance (unless appropriate for the event or appearance, team-identified, and approved by the team)
Chains, pendants, or medallions worn over the player's clothes
Sunglasses while indoors
Headphones (other than on the team bus or plane or in the team locker room)

noted menswear aficionado and future guy who wore a du-rag in court with an oversized crucifix after saying the n-word on tape, hulk hogan, instituted a similar dress code at one of restaurants.

basically, people with more money or influence than grown men with lots of money and influence, successfully painted black dudes as criminals because they wore different clothes than ownership or journalists.

now, forced to dress like white people wanted them to, no one would ever complain about how black people dressed, acted, or protested against racism ever again and no one ever said anything about kaepernick or cam newton and we all lived happily ever after

A funny aspect of Zuffa era UFC PPVs is Joe Rogan would make little comments about Mike Goldberg whenever he went to the the bathroom between fights. Mike wasn't smart enough to just piss himself.

iirc goldberg was just housing energy drinks all show, so that probably exacerbated things too

Honestly, Dracula has a pretty good wrestling strategy, if he gets hurt/tired just gotta drink someone’s blood.

Is Hangman a Dracula?

a teacher-farmer cowboy gets so depressed he wishes he was dead, but monkey paw suprise: you're a dracula now, so you still gotta show up and work

Because I can't let a question go unanswered, RC is apparently owned by Kuerig Dr Pepper, and there are some places that have RC Cola dispensing machines, the soda reddit (anecdotally) is unaware of, say, an amusement park or movie theater that only has RC as the available cola. You might see RC available if a local Dr Pepper distributor makes it available and a store opts to use it

...and what a stupid snipe lol

drake diss songs are awesome in that they run from "you worry about not being black enough and you're a deadbeat dad" in a very serious but not deep way [pusha-t's "story of adidon"] to "you're not black enough to say the n-word, and you shouldn't be around children" in a very serious but deep way [kendrick's work]

but for real, the story of adidon is maybe the meanest diss since "hit em up" and i love seeing drake get tuned up a bit
