There's no evidence that the person being racist to LeBron is an NBA fan. He could be a NHL fan for all we know. The tweets posted before are confirmed racist NHL fans.

OK. YOU WIN.

OT thread about NHL lockout were over not even 3/4 of this ongoing thread about this one player injury.

And threads about Justin Bieber's abs get 10 times the posts that My Bloody Valentine's new album got.

Hockey is underground cool

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's actually the opposite. This started because Lakers-Age thought an ACL injury was relevant enough to deserve a thread. NHL GAF disagrees.

Kobe Bryant is a great player but outside of NBA circles nobody cares whether he got injured.

So the front page of CNN.com is only aimed at "NBA circles"?

What if the lakers win the title without Kobe?

They only they win is if he starts coaching. Whole reason Pau and Dwight have been playing better is because of Kobe telling them to ignore Pringles.

I'm racist because I don't think this is a big news story? Where did that come from?

 

[MVP]

Dude has one title now and you think he's reached GOAT status? That man is Rick Barry tier right now. And Rick Barry had less when he won is only title.

Lebron wasn't blessed with a Hall of Fame team and a Hall of Fame coach early in his career like the other supposed goat (MJ). Now that he has both (Spoelstra is a future HOF), he's starting to win rings.

Thats bullshit, I haven't watched(or followed) the NBA for years but it would be sad if Kobe had to retire due to injury, he is one of the rare sportsman that is known outside of fans of his sport.

 

[effzee]

It's not like the NBA is on the NFL level. There are definitely NBA teams with attendance issues, and of all the leagues the disparity between the top teams and the bottom teams in the NBA is the largest. So there is definitely an issue with the integrity of NBA competition which affects the overall quality of the sport....Not to mention the rigged lotto system, and star players all finding themselves on a few select teams.

The league's issues aside, and they do exist, the game of basketball itself is more popular in the US than Ice Hockey. Its far more accessible.

I don't get why that is such a hard fact to grasp or accept. It doesn't mean hockey is bad or basketball is better, or that one league is run better than the other. Just what is more popular over the other.

NASCAR has some popularity that I will never understand but meh people like what they like.

I see Becks, but is that Louis CK in front of Kobe?

Racist. I bet if Louis CK was black you wouldn't confuse him!

Every one is racist except for NBA fans right?

 

[revolverjgw]

NHL fans have no counter for that because our obnoxious elitism is entirely based on the merits of the athleticism of the sport itself. That's why we cite things like that study that shows how difficult and physically demanding it is compared to non-contact sports like basketball and not thread post counts

We know nobody gives a fuck about it and Sidney Crosby would have to molest somebody to get a blurb on CNN

Limiting racism to specific sports is misguided. Bill Russell won 11 goddamn championships in Boston and still had to deal with racism from his hometown fans.

an nhl team considered having racial sensitivity training in 19 fucking 97

First, Washington's Chris Simon called Edmonton's Mike Grier a racial epithet in a postgame fight and was suspended three games. And most recently, Washington's Craig Berube got a one-game suspension for calling Florida's Peter Worrell a "monkey." Both Grier and Worrell are black.

or how about a former nhl player turned minor league coach calling one of his black players a nigger

John Vanbiesbrouck has stepped down as head coach and general manager of the Ontario Hockey League's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds after using a racial slur to describe team captain Trevor Daley.

"I used the 'N' word instead of calling him Trevor," said Vanbiesbrouck, a former NHL goaltender who is also part-owner of the Greyhounds. "I used it just not thinking."

but surely, *surely* the nhl wouldn't have problems with blackface, one of the most pernicious and recognizable examples of 19/20th century racism

oh whoops

even the fucking players do it

and his team the phoenix jackals or whatever defended him

"There is absolutely nothing racist about Raffi and his wife’s costumes," read the Coyotes' statement. "Raffi is a huge fan of Jay Z and his wife loves Beyonce. It was a Halloween party. The fact that this was reported is ridiculous."

Yeah, its disgusting for sure and none of us are into it. These people are the few and far between though. You guys disparage hockey for because of the amount of white players in this very thread. Way to be backwards as well.

"youre racist because youre pointing out racism"

 

[charsace]

Is Mike Hoffman thread worthy?

Is an NBA ball boy thread noteworthy? Kobe is known around the world. You go to China, Japan, India, etc. and they will know him. Those people don't know Mike Hoffman.

To be fair, he likes JayZ and his wife likes Beyonce. It's not like he said 'They have a black friend'.
