This is racist? WTF. This would go into NBA but the article talks more about the racist thing so I will let it stay for now.

Whitlock provided very good analysis. I do not agree that the criticism is 'borderline racist' as he asserts at the end. I am listening to his radio show right now. He was a good friend of Ralph Wiley. Most people love him or hate him here in KC. I read his column every day---he likes to shock people. |

The reason people are down on the team is because they are lazy, unmotivated, cocky, have no heart, play no defense, and to top it all off, they make loads more money than any of us will ever see. For the money they make, i expect a much better product on the floor. It has been embarrassing so far

I agree with Knocker. The reason people are down on them isn't becasue of racism or lack of patriotism, its because they are embarassing themselves and the United States.

For the money they make, i expect a much better product on the floor. It has been embarrassing so far Maybe in one game they played a bit unmotivated, but I haven't seen that in them lately. The lazy and no defense...I have no idea where that is coming from. I admit they're getting beat on defense. But they are use to playing defense against the pick-n-roll and isolation...It's easy to get caught looking at the ball a lot instead of guarding your man when you come up against a totally different style of play and you've only had three weeks to prepare for it. But if this was the Women's soccer team, either gymnastics team or the swimming team, do you think 54% of Americans would be pulling for them to lose? I don't think so... |
