Of course he was. He was all business. Avon had a heart and let his feelings (how hard they fought for the corners) get in the way.

These are the same idiots who try to reduce players to "assets." They have no respect for them. They think they can wipe out an entire generation of players and the game won't miss a beat. That's beyond absurd. If that were to happen the game might never get back to the level it's at now but they think it won't miss a beat. I'm glad he's taking an ass pounding. I hope the old bastard gets fired.


I am honestly suprised there hasn't been a VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION about referring to players as "assets."

Professional athetes are predominantly people of color, and attempting to dehumanize them by referring to them as inanimate objects to be bought and sold by predominantly white owners evokes images of slavery that is deeply troubling.

You know, I have some friends whose last name is Stanfield. The never watched The Wire. So when the wife got pregnant with a daughter we were sitting around talking about baby names. I suggested Marlo. They thought it was pretty. :lol:
