You seem upset that guys putting round balls in circular metallic hoops do more for America than you ever have.

Veterans are known to have mocked the enemy combatants they are competing against. You didn't seem to pick up on the reference.


Why would I be "upset" about a basketball player acting like a jag-off on the court? I just get tired of assholes like you making up shit about me, little one.

Westbrook acted like an asshole because he's a spoiled, thin-skinned athlete. Most of these guys are pampered the moment they show any athletic talent in any major sport. Then they are completely unable to cope when faced with any adversity.


I'd say both Westbrook and that "fan" represent the worst of each race in this entire thing and trying to defend either for their actions is also very stupid. That is also an example of how silly trying to justify either person is by those observing this kind of shit. I say that people are responsible for their own actions and excusing someone's behavior because of somekind that happened many tens of years ago is ridiculous. Nobody should be able to say or do whatever they want based on some real or imaginary injustice suffered years ago.

Doing what specifically? Pointing out that Russell Westbrook threatened to beat a woman on live TV and no one gave a shit. Why are you insulted? Why are you asking me about this?


Westbrook is just another asshole whose act is a tired one. I watched a bit of the Thunder's game with the Nets last night. He was gesturing a lot at the game and mocking some of the Nets players and playing to the crowd. Its always " look at me" with guys like that. That fan was wrong also but some of the assholes like Westbrook foment that kind of shit when they use theatrics like he does. That makes mental midgets like that fan go over the edge and do their shit. Then we have comments that defend him for doing what he does because he then plays the racism card.


"Did you celebrate scoring a basket? This has caused me to wish you were still enslaved."


Want to translate that latest missive for us? Who are you referring to in the "Did you celebrate scoring a basket" sentence and wanting that person to be enslaved"? Perhaps you should spend a bit more time composing cognitive iterations and less time insulting American veterans on this board? But then, that isn't what you enjoy doing is it? I guess that you believe that you have friends on this board who enjoy your stupid prattle and are protected by them.

Want to defend Westbrook? Go ahead. I think he is just another asshole jock with a chip on his shoulder. But this nonsense you are dishing out about slavery being involved is just stupid and you are stupid to even bring slavery up.

I don't believe that you are concerned with how Westbrook's coping skills develop going forward.


Neither do you. Maybe he should go to confession.



I don't think you are concerned about him going to confession either.

So why are you doing this?



Exactly WHAT is he doing wrong? Somehow I see not a bit of wrong in what he has said in this thread. Are people wrong to question an athlete who makes a fool of himself?

Man a guy in the entertainment business who thinks it might be a good idea to be a little entertaining from time to time. What a novel concept.



I don't think that doing that is "entertainment". I think that it is low class bullshit.

These two sentences do not go well together.

I just have to wonder why you insult me and veterans in general. Instead of commenting or arguing something that is sensible you resort to stupid insults. Why is that, little one?

I respect professional athletes. 99% of them worked their asses off to get where they are at. Much harder than I ever did or would. So to me, they get leeway in a business where emotion can run high

No one deserves respect. People earn respect by their actions and their deeds. Russell Westbrook is a terrific basketball player. One of the best in NBA history. But to set him up as somekind of person to be emulated is ridiculous. Yeah he worked hard but guess what? He achieved most of his success because of his God Given TALENT and instead of realizing that, he wants to mock other people and minimalize them.

You say that he worked much harder than you ever did or would. Maybe so. Maybe not. But that is not what the definer of a person's worth as far as I am concerned. I have a shit load of respect for a kid with little ability who worked his ass off to make a high school team, was a good teammate, hustled, and was a good sport when he competed and yet lost. And I have coached and known a shitload of these kind of players.
