Muhahahahaha!

If I called out every insensitive comment it would be a full time job plus overtime. I have to be selective.

Hey, dviss, want to arm wrestle?
You do know I work out with weights?

PS Awesome for Dame, and now CJ too.

The vast majority of the "-ists" stuff is not called out. Remember just within the last fews weeks someone made a remark about lynching and an apology about accidentally being insensitive. I was horrified when Dviss put up the photograph of a victim of a lynching. I wasn't expecting it. It was jarring and I couldn't unsee it. But then I was thankful he did it.

I will never know what it's like to be an African American man but I do understand that picture. It was a sickening example of man's inhumanity to man.

Both comments that were called out involved violence toward another living soul. There's a big difference between joking about HCP mowing the lawn and the comments that have started these discussions.

P.S. I don't think Crandc would've even bothered to try and enlighten most of you. She directed her post to someone she knows wants to understand.

Wait...... Who's been making fun of me on here?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Wait...... Who hasn't been making fun of me on here?

FTFY

I know you guys are decent people and definitely do try to stay respectful to others. And I know the remark wasn't intended but there's a reason this comes across as super dickish to women.

It talks about "pounding" a woman and is used to describe one basketball player dominating another. In other words, rape. the remark wasn't meant that way but we so commonly see references to pounding, killing, even murdering it that nobody thinks about what it really means.

Crandc is right to call this out, Dviss sincerely gets it and made it right. These two people care about how they and other people are treated. They care about more than themselves and their inner circles. It's something to admire.

well said

Ummm, I didn't mean we were making fun of you... I was talking about another HCP.

But, since you're here... Cerveza por favor (oh, and some chips and guac).

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Westbrook pulls out.

 

[BBert]

Westbrook pulls out.

That's what he said.

 

[BonesJones]

Lillards a lock now. Can't wait to get my Lillard USA jersey! He's probably a favorite to start too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see CJ added to the player pool either

Yeah show me who this fucker is so i can fart in their direction.

I hope Dame tells them he won't go if they are disrespecting CJ.

He's got them by the balls now that they are hurting for talented PG's.

And if they even think about starting Kyrie over Dame I hope he says F this I'm out.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

god it might be one of these years team usa loses.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Dame, kyrie
Klay, harden
Durant, leonard, george
James, melo
Cousins, green

Drummond? Jordan? Cj? Butler? Towns(is he playing for the dominican)?

 

[tlongII]

I don't know. I would think hard about this if I were Dame. If he wants to have a kid soon it could be dicey.

 

[BonesJones]

Dame, kyrie
Klay, harden

Cousins, green

Drummond? Jordan? Cj? Butler? Towns(is he playing for the dominican)?

Drummond will be the 12th

 

[BonesJones]

Imagine a Kyrie/Dame/Durant/Melo/Lebron lineup. Holy offense.

Or a Thompson/PG13/Leonard/Green/Jordan lineup. Holy defense.

 

[Tunchi]

Damn dame will make it def now

He's like the backup, backup, backup option now

I hope he says no at this point. This is worse than the B team

What're you talking about? Backup backup backup? are you trying to rap?

Being the starting PG and competing in the olympics is worse than the B team? You're crazy.

Lowry should be starting with harden, Terrence jones, Dwight Howard and Chandler parsons.

 

[BonesJones]

Bumping all the current threads to the top

 

[Jelloman]

No CP3, No Curry, No Westbrook, No Harden. Sounds like they will actually need to beg Dame to join the team now Heck, even CJ might have a chance to join as well.

Dame is not sure if he will play for Team USA this summer or not.

Speaking in Taguig City while on tour for Adidas, Damian Lillard indicates that he hasn't made any decision related to playing for Team USA in the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

The Manila Times quotes Lillard saying, "I have not thought about it yet."
