KoHeartsGPA Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 No excuses , but ive never seen Tim Howard save a 35 yrd shot with his shoulder , then have to chase it down outside the penalty box .. and almost pick it up The ball should roll across the pitch(field), not bounce a foot of the ground repeatedly. World cup, meh First world problem displayed on third world field, we grow up playing on gravel, if that's your excuse for losing to Trinidad, then you deserve to not be in the world cup, I'm disgusted by the poor showing, terrible way to go out everyone should be fired!

paradime Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Anything that can be played by school girls in shiney shorts, is more of an activity than a sport really. . Like to see you survive that for 90 minutes... I don't believe Nanner represented himself as a sportsman or an activity-ist. 1 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I have the lest interest in anything sports like than anyone I know. If I could just give a shit, I know I could challenge and take nanner at non activity and non watching anything you care to call a sport or activity...... and now I've burned out any interest in that too. You win nanner. Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Jeremy Lin’s Dreads And Kenyon Martin’s Chinese Tattoo Are A False Equivalency They had an honest discussion about race, but the reality is one offense carries more weight than the other. After a dispute over cultural appropriation broke out on social media between Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin and former Net Kenyon Martin, the internet naturally separated into respective camps over who was “right.” Although popular opinion points to the belief that Lin sank his shots better and won the argument, with some people leaving racist comments on Martin’s social media accounts, the reality is that they were both in the wrong. The scuffle between the two men over the fact that Lin has dreadlocks and Martin has Chinese tattoos highlighted a simple fact: both men were guilty of appropriating from each other’s cultures. Yet there’s a certain reality that belies the accord the two reached: There’s a false equivalency in saying Chinese tattoos on a black man and dreadlocks on a Chinese-American man are the same type of offense. Borrowing a cultural marker like dreadlocks, which embody both joy and struggle unique to the black community, is not the same as having a Chinese tattoo, a symbol that doesn’t carry the same weight of oppression. Yes, appropriating Chinese culture through a tattoo is exoticizing and insensitive. But the the act of putting on and taking off dreadlocks ― which are related to the systematic economic and social oppression of a racial group ― demonstrates a greater level of disregard. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeremy-lin-kenyon-martin_us_59dce0d9e4b0208970d00545 1 Link to comment

KELMO Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Wait, so if I am a white guy and I like driving Japanese cars.....is that cultural appropriation? Oh, and what the French toast is cultural appropriation? Isn't imitation the best form of flattery? 2 Link to comment
john510 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I should know better than to engage in conflating apple to orange debates for political ends but... I think there is gray area with respect to national historic value and significance, but the meaning of historical monuments can change over time, and with changing social awareness of what they represent. If I rely in my personal political beliefs than it should be left to the states and cities to decide weather a particular monument represents their beliefs and culture. If they decide it does not, another city or state that wants to preserve that monument and honor what it represents, they should pay to have it moved to their community. It seems unreasonable to force anyone to honor and preserve a monument that stands for something they find distasteful. I don't see this as rewriting history, rather an expression of a community not wanting to glamorize or memorialize a historical event and what it might represent to them. If they choose to decimate it for a political statement, that may be their prerogative but it also demonstrates illogical hysteria rather that rational thinking. Should we require national consent to erect a monument in our own community? I agree with most of this except for the part about forcing people to honor and preserve a monument they find distasteful.I don't think anybody has been "forced" Don't like it ? don't look at it. 1 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Wrong. If it symbolizes an injustice it's still there and ignoring it is tacit approval. If there's a known child molester in the room do you ignore him or do something about him being there? Agitate for change if you don't like something. Link to comment

240zness Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Agitate for change buy taking a knee on camera, protesting 100 year old monuments? Future injustice is the only issue, leaving up statues doesn't make everything in history accepted going forward. Drain the child molesting swamp .. gov, media, entertainment. Call out the people that buy everything there told. And set an example of REAL responsibility. 1 Link to comment

racerx Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Cultural appropriation or borrowing from another culture is going to happen. Ideas, food, technology, beliefs, values, how one dresses exchanges hands all the time. Vanilla ice for example on his one hit wonder copied the beat and of course style of singing, rapping was copied. The Japanese were known for copying things early on and making it better. Its going to happen and can't stop it. 1 Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein: I'll fight the NRA to 'channel' my anger at myself for sexually harassing women "I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I've decided that I'm going to give the NRA my full attention," Weinstein wrote in a statement. "I hope Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party. I'm going to do it at the same place I had my Bar Mitzvah." He added, "I"m making a movie about our President, perhaps we can make it a joint retirement party." Weinstein was accused of forcing women into sex or sexually harassing them in exchange for career advancement or a closer relationship with the Hollywood power player. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hollywood-mogul-harvey-weinstein-ill-fight-the-nra-to-channel-my-anger-at-myself-for-sexually-harassing-women/article/2636680 Link to comment
