Why is the color of their skin relevant to the discussion? You must not get out much if the only time you see black gentlemen is when Holmes is involved. And in the lower arena too!!!!!! They probably got their tickets free too, I bet. Well, you are an old guy.

 

 

 

I tell you what......NKY just keeps getting better and better.

 

You have got to be kidding me! Really? Bob is Black and I am white and in 1967 and 1968 to a lot of people it mattered but not to us guys from different schools and different teams.

 

Maybe indeed it is time to step back away from BGP's when you post "We must have gone on talking about the old days of Ninth Region and 34th District games for the entire second half of the game and laughed and laughed about each other stories from back in the day".

 

"Can't tell you the last time I had so much fun by chance meeting!"

 

and I get this kind of garbage comment! :arghh:

No. No. Please don't go. I want to read more about your chance encounters with black gentlemen.

Walter I want to apologize to you and to the Holmes fans publicly for what has happened to your thread about your game but I had a great time today and thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon watching Holmes play, win and talking to an old rival from days gone by!

Come on man...you are seriously reaching here. Let it go.

 

If you have a problem with one of TOG's posts, tell him in a PM.

Amen.

I have a better idea. Start over.

I'm reaching? I just asked these two white dudes I am sitting next to if I was reaching and they said that I wasn't.

Yeah, you ARE reaching. And way overly dramatic. If you're offended by inocuous comments like that one, find another place to whine. The whole tone of your criticism is ridiculous. Lighten up Francis.

Okay. I'll be sure to make note of the color of everyone's skin around me and report on it from now on. Like he couldn't have just said gentlemen. he said it like he should receive a diversity award or something for taking the time to sit next to and talk to two black gentlemen. He obviously doesn't get that opportunity that much.

 

Seriously? You are looking for an issue that isn't there. I don't see any way that you got offended by that.

why mention that it was gentleMEN he was speaking to. Why is their genetalia relevant to the discussion. And why was their age relevant. This is proof positive that people from northern kentucky ageist, sexist, racists and probably anti-dentite.

TOG: You are obviously being victimized by someone with an agenda. Call him a racist or anti-racist or whatever, he is obviously way over the top in putting your comments under a microscope and making a major issue of it.

 

Your comments were innocent enough, with absolutely no malice intended. It is comments such as his, not yours, that will keep race at the forefront of our co-existence, continuing to stir the pot of perceived discrimination well into the future.

I just watched the press conference from yesterday's game... I have to admit, I really don't like the mention of the officials by Coach Mabry and the players.

 

Now let me clarify, they always mentioned "thats not why we lost" but there was always a 'but...'

 

I don't like that. Especially in a game like that... They definitely called it tighter in the 4th, but it was consistent. For them to say "we didn't get any of the calls" or "the calls didn't go our way" or "I felt like we should've been at the free throw line more"... I just don't like it. If you are going to go to the podium and say that in a high school game, it needs to be blatant...

 

Just my opinion...
