http://withleather.com/post.phtml?pk=5650 funny post from a funny site UTAH LIKES WHITE PEOPLE The Deseret News (link via Ball Don't Lie) profiled Jazz guard Kyle Korver, and it seems the recent transplant from Philadelphia is more popular than ever before: On any night in EnergySolutions Arena, there are enough signs to fill the Republican Convention, most of them held aloft by women. Kyle, we love you. Kyle, will you marry me? From two young girls: Kyle, will you wait for me? From two older women: Why go for two when you can go for three? [...] Korver's female fans are different than what you might expect from the NBA arena. For the most part, these are not groupies in provocative, come-hither clothing. These are grandmas, housewives, grade-school kids and teens, ranging in age from 7 to 60... TV stations and newspapers have already produced several in-depth profiles about Korver, and he's only been with the team for four months. The media honeymoon is on for Korver. Veteran TV newscasters like Shauna Lake are reduced to asking fawning questions like this one: "What did your mom do to raise a guy like you?" [...] Go figure. All this attention and adulation for a player who averages less than 10 points and plays less than half the game. Yes, go figure. Why would Utah fans embrace a role-player when the heart and soul of the team are Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer? Can anyone solve this mystery? It's like a puzzle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in thousands and thousands of white people.
I'm getting tired of all this white people talk. If other races don't choose to live there, how is that a problem? I'm sure it's a pleasant place to live. Lastly, maybe those white people that adore Korver, simply don't want a dark skinned man? Nothing wrong with that, or is there? Most couples are the same race. Screw the Jazz, but the white jokes are getting old.
wow...a little sensitive aren't we? Maybe other races don't live there cause the freaks in SLC don't exactly make it a hospitable place to reside?
I can't believe you really only said two things and yet I could write a novel about why you're wrong. This isn't the D&D so I'll refrain, but you really ought to look into the history of some things before you make statements like that. You clearly don't understand the historical context of racism in Utah or the dynamics of segregation and the lasting effects it has had on our society.
SLC is beautiful. I can't see it being a coincedence that other races don't live there. It doesn't help their case that their only professional team has alot of non-minority players in a league that is predominately ethnic.
whoa now, i didnt wanna turn this into a race thing, i thought it was funny that Korver was being hounded by grandmas and 8 year olds. lets focus on that people
