Watch out for the race war Dean. As an assistant coach at Wisconsin shouldn’t you be a little more tolerant? 😏

It's funny, even though you come off sounding like a complete ass ( I am picturing you as that douche in the bar scene from Good Will Hunting), there are some rational points in what you presented.
I don't know if you actually care this much about this topic, or if you just like impressing yourself on message boards..........but if you want to have a meaningful impact on someone, try ditching the condescending tone, the name calling and generalizing, and FFS put down the thesaurus........then people may listen to what you have to say which, like I said, is not completely idiotic.
Thanks for the backhanded compliment, I guess.
I have nothing but utter disgust and contempt for the modern Left. They are stupid and inflexible, so part of my online routine is the super intellectual stuff to shame them.
I have the misfortune of working at the university. It's a truly disgusting place, you have no idea unless you were in my shoes. To cope, my self-administered therapy routine includes unleashing on Leftists in online formats. Besides quitting the job, it's the only way I can function anymore.
I have no doubt your environment presents plenty of challenges. I live and work in small town Iowa now (also where I grew up), but for many years I traveled all over this country (and abroad) working in professional baseball, and I have seen my share of all variations of the human element. Definitely not all of it was pretty. I guess I just am holding out hope that civility in communication is our best chance. Probably pretty naive of me.
And don't think of it as a backhanded complement.......take it as a straight on fore-hand slap, followed by a high-five, lol.
If you’re that miserable maybe you should quit.
All very good points man lol.
I'm self-aware enough to understand that my descent into far-right politics is not necessarily healthy. And I never could've seen that coming 10 years ago. But I 1000% cannot emphasize enough how truly awful things are at today's college campuses. These ppl need to be stopped, bc things are headed in a very, very bad direction right now. Hawkeye fans should know that all too well, since two of our teams have now been embroiled in national race controversies that are so ****ing outlandish I don't even know where to start.
An extremely short-sighted reply from an extremely short-sighted individual. Life has many more nuances and complexities than a simple man like you, apparently, is able to appreciate. Assuming you're employed, would u just up and quit your job? Is it that easy?
You remind me of the inept Iowa City police officer I had the misfortune of dealing w that summer. Who responded to MY noise complaint by serving me with an arrest citation. And callously explaining that "Maybe you should just move." I think you would have a great time hanging out w that guy. Although the conversation would be totally silent, as the two of you are simply sitting there drooling like Neanderthals.
It's pointless to have a discussion with someone who's delusional.
Oh I'm all ears, Smart Guy. Totally open to new ideas, and fully willing to change my mind.
I'm also willing to hear you out regarding how you can justify being a self-annointed "progressive"... while simultaneously throwing down with the White chicks from Iowa.
Are you illiterate? Or just totally ignorant of current events?
It means that modern "progressives" have promulgated and enabled the belief that colored people can literally do no wrong. They have no personal responsibility, and everything is Whitey's fault. Which explains much of what is happening w this LSU controversy... therefore, one could easily argue that "progressives" are directly responsible for the repugnant behavior from that LSU black. To come down in support of the White Iowa player would be hypocrisy of the highest order.
That clear enough for you?

That would be the Woke. Not all progressives.
The woke are a problem, just not nearly as big of one as the 40% of republicans that think trump is swell or the other 30-40% that would still vote for him because of the R.
Your brain does not function correctly.
I'm the janitor who cleans the office of Dr. Landon Storrs from the History Department.
You know, it would have been a breath of fresh air to read you comment on how, despite differing political views, we have something in common, as another poster did earlier. But instead you blamed me and all progressives for racial strife.
BTW every person close to me who's a progressive and with whom I've discussed the behavior of Reese and Clark (my sisters, nephew, friends, and neighbors) feel that Reese was out of line and that equating Clark's behavior with hers is inaccurate, even though Clark can be cocky and bordering on disrespectful at times, such as the wrist flick toward the S. Carolina perimeter player. Same with post-game demeanor - we all believe Clark has conducted herself with class while Reese has continued to double-down with disrespect.
When there's an incident like the Reese-Clark incident that's seen by some as a racial issue, I don't know if it's because I'm a progressive or just who I am, I try to view it from the black person's perspective. I remind myself that black people in the US were brought here against their will and enslaved hundreds of years ago. Then, even after being emancipated, some white people lynched them, suppressed their right to vote, etc. Then, even after the Civil Rights Act in 1964, some whites kept them from living in certain parts of our cities, denied them loans for houses, denied their entry into schools, punished them more severely than their white peers for the same offenses - both in our schools and in criminal cases, and on and on. I can understand how blacks have learned to distrust white people. I can understand how at times, they may appear to overreact to real or perceived disrespect. I don't blame all white people. Many whites fought for the rights of blacks, some even losing their lives over it.
I hope you're sincere about your claim that you're totally "open to new ideas and fully willing to change my mind". As a young man in the 70s, I held some racist views, thinking that all people of color came from the same mold, probably the mold shown in many movies, TV shows, etc. at that time. Having grown up in a small town of all white people, I didn't know any people of color. I THOUGHT I was an open-minded person, but in some ways I really wasn't. Thank God I came to know many wonderful people of color since then, as well as just maturing and realizing we're all brothers and sisters from the same pot, regardless of skin color. I've changed and matured.
I'm not implying that you're racist; I just wanted to share a personal example of being open to new ideas and being willing to change.
It was clearly sarcasm, you dumbass.
The ability to accurately identify sarcasm is traditionally a sign of basic intelligence... which explains so much of your ridiculous political confusion.
As was my response. You would be a good personal janitor for her though. And w/your views on life it's pretty clear why you don't like Iowa City or working for the University, which I actually think you don't do. Must be tough being a douchebag like you are in a liberal, educated town like Iowa City.
Hopefully u can spend the same amount of time and energy proselytizing to the colored community as well. They are the ones who desperately need to change their behavior. What's past is past. There's nothing those of us in the present can do to ameliorate or relitigate the past. Only do our best to be the best individuals/citizens we can be.
I played my part for years. Whether that include being the only White boy on my inner city Baltimore basketball team in high school. Or working for two years at an HBCU (Coppin St.). The black community has refused to return the favor. The current generation has become vengeful and hateful. They've viciously targeted two sports programs here at Iowa alone in 3 damn years. That ruins lives. That ruins reputations.
So forgive me if I've made the conscious, well-considered personal decision to STOP playing their bullshit games.
So you were the white shadow before the white shadow? Congrats. Poor little buttercup.
I agree and I'm a big Biden fan. Bad judgement by Jill there IMO.
No he played at Ball State I believe. Met him once at the NAIA sweet 16 in KC when my son was playing. Really wide dude with the skinniest lower legs and ankles I've ever seen on a man that size. Made me wonder how he was an offensive lineman,,Lol....
Who was it long ago that said, "Larry Bird couldn't spell "cat" if you spotted him the "a" and the "t"." I'm thinking it was Barkley.
And this is somehow Clark and Iowa's womens teams fault or something? I remember having a discussion with my wifes grandmother about paying reparations to blacks because of slavery. She thought it was a great idea and needed to happen, Now the old gal was 102 years old when she passed. I told her just because her grandpa may have been down with slavery that had no bearing on my tax money going to someone because their ancestors were treated unfairly. Sorry, but not in my book. I've had to work hard to get where I am, and I don't owe anybody for it.
No. I used to bust their black asses out there. One was a future starter on Fran's first Siena team (Antoine Jordan). Who's yet another in a long line of anti-White racists I've had the misfortune of knowing.

Larry Bird is actually a pretty intelligent guy... the "cat" comment you're alluding to was said about Terry Bradshaw.
Of course that incident isn't Clark's or Iowa's fault. I never said that and I'm not sure how you thought this.
I think as a white man, I need to understand that what many whites have done to blacks over the centuries and decades has caused a lot of distrust, anger, etc. And mistreatment of blacks continues to this day, sadly. And there is often a double-standard in how blacks and whites and their behaviors and actions are perceived. This may have contributed to Angel Reese's behaviors. I'm not condoning her behavior at the end of the game, but I try to understand where it may come from. I think if she had a better mentor as a coach, we may not have seen this from her. Or at least we might have seen an apology by now from her.
Racism toward blacks isn't the fault of all white people, and all white people shouldn't feel guilty if they've not been a part of that and have stood up for justice for all. But we should all work to make our country a just, respectful and better place for everyone IMO.
Hah geez! I remember that now! Hilarious. Do you happen to remember who said it?
So you're claim of being willing to change and be open-minded was bullshit.
The NBA is no phuquin’ “Spelling Bee” believe me. What’s Barkkey’s claim to fame? It ain’t “rings”…
