Suspension for a 49ers announcer because he dared to use dark skin as a factor in analyzing a certain situation in a game (dark skin, dark uniform and dark ball making it hard to see the ball). Talk about overreacting in the land of the free :lol:

It was a dumb comment, and probably actually racially motivated, so whatever.


I know I joke about everything being political, but that’s pretty much becoming true in the US right now.

A comment that potentially makes sense when looking at it from a calmer point of view instead of immediately shooting into some "OMG CAN'T SAY THAT" kind of mode. If someone has an all dark figure (skin + clothes), and this person is holding something dark as well, said dark object can indeed be significantly harder to spot in a fast-paced situation. Just like if someone has an all white figure (whiter than someone's skin generally is + bright white clothes) and they'd be holding a white football, that one would be harder to spot as well.

 

But well, the answer to something like that is generally just a blind "Can't say that!".

it's the opposite of Italy, where we actually have a true racism problem and we do everything to hide it below the carpet...:facepalm:

The problem that everyone in the US is just tense about race, ethnicity, etc. right now. I do get what @heywoodu says above, but we’re just in a position to be making those kind of comments right now. Also, there’s so much more you could talk about than that, so it sucks he got “asked to leave”, but he also should have read the audience better. I do agree that Italy is in a much more dire situation than us right now. Though, depending on this next election, we may be in similar predicaments.

Analyzing (one of the many) factors that could potentially contribute to someone's success - because the ball being less easy to spot possibly makes it harder to 'win' a play, even though the effect might not be very big - is exactly what he is supposed to be talking about.

Look, all I’m saying is that I do communications for job (and will continue to do so in my professional career). It’s my job to know the audience, and know how to use language. Sometimes you just have to be smarter than that, even if you think it’s okay. I don’t think should’ve been fired (that’s clearly an overreaction). It should have been turned into a lesson about being more careful on air.

Bullshit. Liberals in the USA just love playing the race card, everyone who makes an "error of judgement" is automatically dismissed as racist and should be erased from people's memory. It's the right of way in the American society right now.

 

It's somewhat unfortunate that two MVP front runners right now are black. Russell Wilson is the most underrated QB in the league but the liberals are silent because they can't belittle a black QB as opposite to Jackson's hype. If Jackson was duelling with the likes of Brady or Bress then all bets would be off. Then again, Wilson can be shipped out the same way Jay Z was when he was accused by Kaepernick of selling out the black cause. Every God damn thing in America is political these days, guess the minorities are getting back for Jim Crow laws and whatever else. I'm just waiting until "Wendy's" brand gets shut down as "sexist" or "misogynist" or whatever else. That would put the icing on the cake :lol:

      @hckošice, even though Tomankova lost, she had a good fight against Costa, I think soon she and Babulfath will be the stars of -48kg.

      Yeah, we have such a strong crop of Juniors, that we can’t take them all. They all have exciting trajectories but to predict what Junior swimmers will is always difficult. Better to let them all swim together at Juniors than rocketing them all up to seniors and swimming a prelim and going home.

      Hanlon is the most unlucky, in my opinion. Aside from relay cover, she's the 50m champ and they made a point of including consideration for those events being in LA for the other discretionary picks. Essentially she has the same case for selection as Max Morgan (albeit without the trajectory right now).   Blocksidge's form was way off this week (compared to her previous bests). Obviously being still young you could put that down to relative inexperience. Still, she has World and European Juniors that she could still be selected for this summer. There's an argument that performing well at those might be as beneficial as going to Singapore.   That said, I'm happy that they did take a bunch of discretionary picks. That's not always been the case.
