One is a stereotype; the other is a moniker for a sport. Not the same thing. I have never heard the NBA TV coverage refer to the players as "thugs." And there was a time in the 70s when there were certain players in the NBA that were called “enforcers.” And fighting took place a lot at that time and the league almost completely whipped it out of the game. Ask Amare Stoudemire.

And BTW, we had discussed this issue so much as it relates to the sleeves, this topic has become redundant.

Peace
