Are you trying to bait me? Sorry pal. Your opinion is worthless cause you are a lin only fan trolling clutchfans. I don't even believe you were nets fan. That whole story makes no sense. Nets leave town, you become a lin gypsy. . Not even fleetwood mac
Not trying to bait you...just trying to have a conversation with you. Not a Lin-only fan, and not trolling at all...just conversing with others who are interested in Lin. Not sure why my story doesn't make sense...I was a NJ Nets fan because I am from NJ and they were the home-town team. And then not only do they leave, but they leave after the team is finally showing signs of success after decades of disappointment, and they move to NYC, which NJ has always lived in the shadows of. That ripped my heart out. So now I have to find another team to become a fan of, and I want something that can give me emotional attachment and I've had no luck finding that attachment so far. Why does that not make sense?
Not a LOF but yet you have close to 90% of all your posts on Clutchfans on this very Lin thread Yeah ok. Spoiler
You are trying to bait me by saying that I don't respect Hakeem, have I not told you after a few thousand posts here who I am? I am a 99er. We are the first to join this site named after Clutch City. This is Clutch City. Clutch stood up top the SUMMIT and yelled out who will follow me?? And we saw him from Edloe and walked across the Southwest road and followed him.
Yes...the only reason why I post on this forum is because of the active Lin thread. I would actually be surprised if only 90% of my posts on this forum weren't in this thread. But does that mean that I am not talking about NBA and basketball in other places? No...of course not.
All I am saying is that if you are going to be comparing yourself to Hakeem, you should be more respectful of how you represent yourself...because Hakeem deserves that from his fans. To be pumping your chest claiming to be "Hakeem-level" and acting like you are a God is very unbecoming of anyone who claims to respect Hakeem.
No, his opinion has been spot on about you trying so hard to use being a 99er or Hakeem's name to disrespect anyone who is a fan of lin and Jeremy Lin. Even if it is true you met him and your opinion about him was negative due to whatever reason it does not give you any right to say his character is less than Hakeem or any other sports figure you have personally meet. Base on what I know about you and your views posted here, you are a very shallow person who definitely lack a board view of life and this world.
Dude for the 2000th time. Hakeem status is the highest rep status you get when your peers give you rep I have hakeem status. There is no lin status. They should make banned status, lin status
Being around from the beginning does not mean you are quality goods but instead it means you are outdated and needs to be thrown out.
So you aren't a Hornets fan. Don't pretend to be one then. And btw still can't see how you find this thread HEALTHY as you said. Noone but you and the other LOFs watch the Hornets consistently anyway coz noone cares. So what there's to discuss? Go to the Hornets forum. Real uneducated fans never root to lose. Real educated fans when they see their team be the 13th seed 7+ games out of the playoffs , they root for loses because they know there's more of a chance to get a great player at the top of the draft. Now if you have one night your one 20 y.o franchise player have a carreer high 28 points and the next your other 21 y.o franchise player have a triple double and that causes wins then nothing you can do about it. Luckily against the Hornets we had Lin with his turnover and awful shooting and Lamb to help us with to secure the loss. Thanx Lin.
Thank you for proving the point. Tinman, Zboy and CometsWin are officially LOFs because they watched every Lin game.
they are in the rockets forum and they are rockets fan. In the dish. Where ROCKETS fans can discuss players of other teams when they are interested. Why are you here? You aren't Rockets fans. And you keep coming back again and again. You are masochists.
This program was created to address disadvantages for people based on race, sex, and disability who are poor as a result. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE COLOR BLIND. That's not my opinion, that's the history, that's why it exists. You have no clue what you're talking about. There are no poor white people who are poor because they're white and their families have been racially oppressed. This law was never intended to be color blind. It's very purpose was in large part because of color, the racism experienced due to it, and the poverty that resulted. You can't quite seem to grasp these very easily verifiable facts. You want to go start an additional program for the poor, great. I'm all for it. But I don't support dismantling AA until there are improved and consistent educational opportunities for primary and secondary kids regardless of the neighborhood they're in. This type of improvement makes AA in education unnecessary in my view. I've asked you repeatedly for data demonstrating how Asians are disadvantaged that should necessitate them receiving affirmative action. You've provided none, ever. The best you could do was some article on how Asians only make up like 20% of the Harvard student body. Not exactly compelling, especially considering the income data that shows that Asians are quite successful financially. But really this topic for you is all about you being Asian. That's your interest, that's why you don't like it, and that's why you keep bringing it up. I have verifiable data and facts on my side and all you have is garbage rhetoric. So go start a thread and do your worst. Stop bringing this up here to deflect from your own Asian bias and racism. Affirmative action in the United States tends to focus on issues such as education and employment, specifically granting special consideration to racial minorities, Native Americans, and women who have been historically excluded groups in America.[1] Reports have shown that minorities and women have faced discrimination in schools and businesses for many years and this discrimination produced unfair advantages for whites and males in education and employment.[2] The impetus toward affirmative action is redressing the disadvantages[3][4][5][6][7] associated with past and present discrimination.[8] Further impetus is a desire to ensure public institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and police forces, are more representative of the populations they serve.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action_in_the_United_States As President Lyndon Johnson said in 1965, "You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still just believe that you have been completely fair." President Johnson's speech eloquently stated the rationale behind the contemporary use of affirmative action programs to achieve equal opportunity, especially in the fields of employment and higher education. The emphasis is on opportunity: affirmative action programs are meant to break down barriers, both visible and invisible, to level the playing field, and to make sure everyone is given an equal break. They are not meant to guarantee equal results -- but instead proceed on the common-sense notion that if equality of opportunity were a reality, African Americans, women, people with disabilities and other groups facing discrimination would be fairly represented in the nation's work force and educational institutions. http://www.civilrights.org/resource...maction.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/ [/QUOTE]
Exactly! Rockets and Mavericks fans don't like each other. However none of the parties go on each other's forums to 'defend' their players when someone has a different and less favorable opinions of their team. There are 2 reasons for the LOF 1. Insecurity. I'm secure in my fandom in Hakeem Olajuwon for what he did for the Rockets and the NBA and the universe. I don't need or have the urge to go to a Spurs, Bulls, Lakers site to defend my thoughts on Hakeem. However if some fake fans join our site and discredit Hakeem, I will destroy them. Lin fans stay around here wait for me, zboy, ftw, king1,comets, to comment on Lin. Why? They are insecure. We can say that cause that's how we feel about Lin as a group of Rockets fans discussing other players. 2. They can't stand each other. LOFs come to other team's bbs cause they can't survive in environment of just Lin fans, that's like a virus without a host. a virus can't infect another virus. In contrast, Rockets fans can agree, disagree, like or dislike each other. We all share the same 'house'. Keep up the good work malakas, you'll be hakeem status soon.
That wasn't what you said though. I'm here because it's a lot more fun to observe the Lin obsession here. Nowhere else comes close with the Lin obsession from the LOF by your definition. If you want to perform a statistical analysis, who has the most first posts after each bad Lin game in this thread? A) Zboy B) Tinman C) CometsWin D) FTW It's a tough call.
