OT: Mike Rice Jr. attends coaching forum on LGBT issues

[crandc]

Former Rutgers coach Mike Rice Jr. attended forum sponsored by GLSEN, Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. According to his friend, high school basketball coach Anthony Nicodemo (who recently came out), Rice is "trying to educate himself on the community and become more aware of the repercussions of what he did".

FYI

 

[dviss1]

Why? He's never gonna coach again? He needs a friggin' class on how not to be an ass to LGBTs?

The apple don't fall far from the tree...

 

[Mediocre Man]

By the time the GLSEN, NAACP and NCAA get done with him, he will almost have more initials than the IUPUI Jaguars

 

[BBert]

Is this because he used a gay 'slur' or something? I heard something about him being a prick to his student athletes, but I'm not aware of what he did to offend an entire sub-culture. What did he do to warrant needing 'educated'?

Nothing.

I still see this as a very good thing. At least he's willing to try to "make amends".. most actual bigots wouldn't attend this class.

Honest question bro........ what the fuck does this mean?

So he self-evaluated himself as needing educated on understanding a being sensitive to gays? That's cool.

It can happen, I'm taking a class right now on accepting NERDS for who they are.

 

[BBert]

It usually means 'like father, like son'. I don't know how he meant it though. I probably should therefore but out. But I'm bored.

 

[THE HCP]

Let him answer

 

[crandc]

Among other acts, Rice used an anti gay slur as an all purpose insult to his players. That's why.

I do agree the alphabet soup of organizations can get confusing.

 

[Mediocre Man]

He should have called them all crackers. That seems to be more than an acceptable slur against a certain portion of the population

Cracker, honky, white boy, no jumpin' unathletic white son of a bitch, american born white center, all fair game.

Hellz ya...Oops, was that too ebonic laden?

 

[BBert]

Oops. I left out 'gringo'. Used as an insult throughout latin america, but totally acceptable here at home.

Why isn't this in the OT section?

How many times has Barrett had to say:

"We will have to apologize to the (insert Demographic here):____________ community"

for one of Rice's semi racist statements?

"You know those Europeans" ~ Mike Rice Sr.

Racism is akin to sexism ect.

I think that's a terrible thing to say to someone of Caucasian decent.

HEY, IF THEY DIDN'T DRAG ALL US COLORED PEOPLE FROM CHINA AND AFRICA THEN FUCKED US OVER, IT WOULD BE TOTALLY AN ASSHOLE THING TO SAY.

 

[dviss1]

And no I'm not a fan nor have I ever been a fan of Mike Rice Sr. IMO he needs to be the next one to go.

I never emulate anything I hate. I hate racists and sexists.

This thread has literally nothing to do with basketball, and isn't about anybody affiliated with the Blazers.

Mods won't move it, though, because they would be bombarded with 'you're a bigot' posts by a few posters.

You're talking about a good friend of mine. Sr. is one of the coolest, most genuine people I know. Very respected around the league. Your blanket statements about somebody you've never met are weak bro.

 

[magnifier661]

I hate race and sex

Mike Rice is the fucking man.

Rice saying "you know those Europeans" jokingly makes you certain he's a racist?

That's pretty weak.

I didn't know 'Europeans' were a race. I learn something new here every day!
