    And no I'm not a fan nor have I ever been a fan of Mike Rice Sr. IMO he needs to be the next one to go.

    I never emulate anything I hate. I hate racists and sexists.

    This thread has literally nothing to do with basketball, and isn't about anybody affiliated with the Blazers.

    Mods won't move it, though, because they would be bombarded with 'you're a bigot' posts by a few posters. :)

    You're talking about a good friend of mine. Sr. is one of the coolest, most genuine people I know. Very respected around the league. Your blanket statements about somebody you've never met are weak bro.

    Rice saying "you know those Europeans" jokingly makes you certain he's a racist?

    That's pretty weak.

    I didn't know 'Europeans' were a race. I learn something new here every day!

    My beef with Rice is too often his schtick is over the top. He really knows hoops. Everyone once in a while, he'll drop the act and really drop some knowledge. I'd love to see him show more of his considerable basketball analytical ability.

    He didn't say it jokingly. And, I said semi racist comments. And anytime you group any people together and say they are all... that is akin to racism. Isms are a learned behavior. If Mike Rice Jr. is making gay slurs he didn't just get that from his friends. You get it from your parents (and maybe your church). My son knows to treat everyone like he wants to be treated because that's what I taught him. Well who taught Jr. to be homophobic?

    And HCP I don't much care if he's your friend. I have never been a fan of his and it's ok for me to say that.

    None of those fools is as good as The Snapper...

    Did you think before you typed this bro? And I'm not asking if you care that he's my friend...... I'm telling you he is and he's a great guy. Fuck you for calling him a racist! You shouldn't call people out on shit if don't even know them.

    Snapper was great. He had a bad rep from people who worked with him, but he was never afraid to call out the team when they were playing like crap. Rice was better on radio when he could tell a tall tale and didn't have the video to contradict him.

    I don't much care what you think about me or what I said. I never called him racist. I said he makes semi racist statements and that isms are AKIN to racism. And it's TRUE that Homophobia is a learned behavior. So did he learn it from his church or his father? Because he got it from someone. And you know what man? Fuck you.. I didn't say shit to you or about you. Anyone can be a "great guy" in a work setting.
