European Player Bias

[michaeltex]

Skip's and Stephen A's bit is ridiculous. As long as it's just about sports it's stupid but harmless (except that it lowers the listener's IQ). But once Stephen A takes it over into race, it goes beyond stupid to deplorable and infuriating.

Racism is a problem, of course, and Stephen A is not reporting the problem, he is representative of the problem.

I agree. But there is a perception that the white Euros aren't good enough, although I think that's starting to change. Just look at the starting lineups from several of this year's contenders. Jokic, Nurkic, and Vucevic all come to mind.

In hindsight, changing these perceptions might be Dirk's greatest accomplishment.

I still remember the Tim Thomas "kiss" and Dirk's 50 point response.
