    How was this not "racially motivated"? I can't imagine what it's like to be a spokesperson for these large companies if you had morals.

    Rand Paul has no problem with this because it's in Euro Land.

    I made a thread regarding racism in Europe in the D&D a couple of weeks ago. Black soccer players get tormented like no other over there....

    I used to work for a company that had a lot of risk of managers out in the field embarassing the company with bad decision-making. I'm sure the guys in the corporate office are just shaking their heads about the whole thing. Asking people to pay first at the discretion of the manager is just a recipe for trouble.

    I don't see what's there to DEBATE. Those dudes are certainly RACIST and no one disagrees. The team wasn't making "a big deal" out of nothing. :eek:

    All the Pizza Hut restaurant people who contributed to the infamy should get sent home without pay.

    they might have just finished practice or something and been all sweaty.

    They get what they deserved, pizza hut sucks. Lesson learned, don't go there.

    I'm fairly sure players don't just go out of public all sticky and smelly, without first taking a shower. Even if it's just practice [practice? no a game, but practice!]

    But you're right... maybe they don't have Domino's Pizza there.

    We are all racist is some way, shape or form. At least in Europe they are upfront about it, here we just pretend it doesn't exist. Don't get me wrong, what they did was beyond unacceptable but it is far from shocking...

    Quit trying to defend Pizza Hut, we all know you're working for them!

    Europe is a dangerous place -- especially Germany.

    What do you mean upfront about it? That in Europe they actually act on their racist's thoughts, and in the US they don't? Not sure I'm seeing how that's better.

    'hmmm, why don't we make the blacks pay first'.

    Someone set the precedent.
