I'm a bit surprised it took them this long to foist this one. When black players came into the majors they didn't hit ".466" and ".472."

An example of what?

Very refreshing indeed. Backing down wouldn't have done him any good, only made it 100 times worse.

Eastwood's character says: "GET OFF MY LAWN! In Korea we stacked f**** like you five feet high, used them for sandbags."

There is at least one thing I've learned in my lifetime about American businessmen and politicians. They will make any decision (or not make a decision) according to how much money they will make, even a relatively small amount. Thus the perennial threats to move a franchise unless there is a...

Sixty years ago Joe Don Looney was similar to Johnny Manziel. Fran Tarkenton (among others) others) said in his 1971 book on his time with the Giants, "Joe Don Looney blew out of Oklahoma with the talent to be another Jimmy Brown." When drafted Number 1 by the Giants in 1964, Looney wouldn't...

I remember when Roman Gabriel was at his best, circa 1967-69. He would stand in the pocket, shaking off rushers and hit a receiver downfield.

NBA player Jontay Porter has been banned from the NBA for gambling. This is the one sin pro sports won't tolerate from black athletes.

Don, so a couple of posters think Simpson killing two people was a "hoax." Some of us are old enough to remember Simpson being selected by the entire media apparatus and the major corporations as a media darling and corporate sponsor. And these nonsensical posters think an "innocent" O.J...

What I described above is the way it was. You obviously have a defective memory. The play putting Simpson over 2000 is on youtube. There were about six minutes left on the clock. He then came out. It was in "another game," but in 1972 to get Mercury Morris enough yards to make 1000 for the...

Wrong. I watched the game on TV. He went over 2000 with several minutes left. What you referred to happened with Mercury Morris in 1972. When the last game of the season ended, Morris had 991 yards. The Dolphins asked the league office for a review. They found nine extra yards in a game earlier...

Years ago posters on this Form wanted Peyton Manning and other White players to "speak out." They didn't, which raised some ire from some posters. CMac's best option is also to avoid doing so. It wouldn't do any good. The best thing for him to do is have some more big seasons.

As it turned out CMac rushed for 1459 yards in 2023 to lead the league. He also had 564 yards receiving for 2023 yards from scrimmage to lead the league in that category as well. And Christian McCaffrey sat out the last game of the season.

Trump is on the hook for four trials. The various left-wing prosecutors are trying to have the trials before the election.

A reason for blacks attacking East Asians in, for example, a place like San Francisco is that Asians are readily available to be attacked and Whites are not. At least not to the extent they were 50 years ago, the time of the so-called Zebra Murders.
