And as for the "taking a stand" comments made earlier...good grief. Punishing the Coach/Team for the actions of a group of fans that the Coach has no immediate control over does not send a message, take a stand, make a point...you get the idea. Having game mgt. remove the people doing the chant, and the school carry out further discipline sends a message to the ones actually involved in the chant...and according to the article, that is what has been done. |

I appreciate and admire those that take a stand, but be careful what motivates you. A technical foul is supposed to control behavior on the floor, not in the stands. If someone comes onto the floor, then fine, but if you want to take a stand against racism, file a report, and let the schools deal with this. I understand Rut's contention that the words weren't "over the top," but what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If we're going to take a stand against racism for some, we have to do it for all. I'll stop here before I go on a Mister Señor Love Daddy rant.

You are not the only one. Someone would have had to explain this to me.

No. I compared being called a loose cannon early in a 'cause', which is an attempt to shout down/discourage Nevada's point, to the same negative reactions these persons faced for their 'causes'. 'Causes' that would have been forgotten had they not stuck to it.

Exactly, if they called it what it was there would be consequences (mostly monetarily).

The comparison is ridiculous, and I think Nevada would agree.

Crap. MLK, Jr. was assassinated. Luther was excommunicated. Henry was executed. Parks was arrested. Nevada had someone disagree with him on an internet forum. Get real. |

1. It's not possible. 2. It's not necessary. We are, however, expressing our disagreement with him. The fact that the disagreement is nearly universal does not mean we're trying to silence him.
