What took you so long???

Considering I do not know most people and you only get a slice of what a person is about (a very small slice at that) I wanted to think this person had some sense. It is clear he has totally clear with all the recent posts he has made he has no intelligence what so ever. I do not understand why this person still has an account anymore. I will leave it at that.

OK, Let me get the popcorn, and then let's begin this discussion in earnest


Now, what I want to know is, why is it that when someone who is black, aka Jrutledge, decided to interject race or some other social agenda into a discussion, it's OK, but when someone white like me does it, it gets shut down.

I think it's high time we had an honest, open discussion about this. No name calling or anything like that, let's just discuss it. I'd even be happy to have this discussion in the general forum if the powers that be deem that to be a more appropriate place for it, but really, why can't we discuss race in this forum, at least as it relates to officiating?

Mick, bob, brad, how bout letting us discuss this for awhile.

Reference, please.

Not a chance. They have all turned ugly in the past. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I thought all officials were black and white. (Unless wearing the greys)

Funny you should say that. We tend to wear the grays where I'm at, although not 100% of the time.
