Too bad Vin Baker didn't play for the Knicks at some point. That would have been a nice addition, scoring punch and good size. It seems to me...
I understand he may not have meant it in an offensive way, but to use the term at all is 1) an offense to some and 2)a display of his ignorance....
Intentionally or unintentionally, offending a percentage of your listeners with a racial slur is ALWAYS a big deal to a professional broadcaster.
The fact that we BOTH understand the S word to be offensive highlights the fact that it should NEVER be used to refer to a player during an NBA...
I'm willing to give Stockton the benefit of the doubt and agree that his comments were the result of simple ignorance, not racism. This does not...
It is NOTHING like saying Spaniard, the correct analogy would be Spic or any of the other offensive and derogatory terms I don't even feel like...
I am a professional broadcaster in Hong Kong and would never dream of calling a caucasian person a "gweilo" on the air. Yes, the term is used...

I agree with your sentiments Yetti, but right now I wouldn't mind a few games of 15 and 9!!
Just to clarify, I want very much for Yao Ming to with the ROY. I think at this point he stands a better than 50% shot at it, which is...
I'll assume you were making some sort of bad joke. I certainly hope you don't really think this! (for your sake)
For those readers who apparently didn't see this the first time I wrote it, and to fix my spelling LOL
Contrary to what some po\eople might think, Stern is capable of humor!:eek:
Excellent post Timing, I'm just writing this to bump your post back to the top. He is playing well, but that, as you say is not the big surprise...
