Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Explain please. Well lets say there was a white guy named... Lesse Lackson. All of a sudden, Lesse claims that he is a representative of all white people(adimitidly this would be tough seeing as white people are seen as individuals unlike the rest of the minorities in this country, but thats another rant) and everytime a black guy said something that could be construde as racist, Lesse comes in with his followers(that make up a minute about of the race, mind you) and boycotts, sues, or whatever and the press shoves cameras in his face. Then they do a poll, of the white people there that are supporting Lackson and say on the knews that 95% of white people agree with these tactics. Lackson and his lawyers on the other hand, gets a out of court settlement out of court with the people he has bullied into the bad press and takes a percentage before giving it to a "worthy cause" (aka, the lawyers and big press affiliates). Continue this cycle. Add a few more guys like Sal Harpton to fight the "cause" and then you have just as much rawkus when black say shit as whites. As it is, whites protest and boycott black statements just as much as whites...but who do they shove the cameras on and who gets labeled as the ones crying "racism". Lauryn Hill, there were CD burnings by white groups after she said " I write my music from a black point of view and for black people so when some white people don't get it, its understandable." There was outcry, Lauryn was a racist...blahblahblah. But the cameras weren't all over the place. There was no Lesse Lackson there to bring cameras and make speechs. So basically the same uprising on Lauryn Hill goes unknown while if 4 black people get pissed over something, there apparently is a uproar in the black community.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 He had to get cleared by both his doctor and the team to even practice...so I'd say he's fine to do so. There's no chance he'd step on a field before week 10 anyway...as the Bills bye is week 9 and they stated it would take two full weeks of good practice before they even start thinking about dressing him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 NEW YORK - The NFL fined Tampa Bay defensive lineman Warren Sapp $50,000 on Tuesday for mistreating officials and threatened him with a suspension if his behavior doesn't improve. NFL director of game operations Peter Hadhazy issued the fine after reviewing Sapp's conduct in three games. Hadhazy said any further misconduct will result in a suspension of at least one game. Before last Sunday's game against Washington, Sapp bumped into an official as he entered the field. "There was absolutely no need for you to do so," Hadhazy stated in a letter to Sapp. "To the contrary, it is apparent that you deliberately made contact with the official. ... This misconduct occurred even though you had been strongly advised by the Buccaneers' management only days before to refrain from taking actions during the pregame warm-ups that were disruptive to your opponents, disrespectful to the game officials, and in violation of league rules regarding unsportsmanlike conduct." In two earlier games this year, the NFL said Sapp used excessively abusive language to officials. "Your continuing disrespectful and intimidating conduct has no place in the game," Hadhazy wrote. "You have repeatedly abused game officials and ignored their directions and authority in at least three of the Buccaneers' games this season." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Someone compared Sapp to Jeremy Shockey earlier on in this thread, and I'd have to say that's a dead-on comparison. If you actually key in on Sapp against any competent O-line -- say, Pittsburgh's last year against him -- he gets blown the fuck up throughout the game. Alan Faneca made him look like a tool throughout that entire game, and I'm absolutely positive that other people have done it to the tub-o-lard. Sapp gets camera time because he's a loudmouth, that's it; if he actually backed it up on the field, I'd care more about what he says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faneca makes a lot of DLs look like tools, but I do agree that Sapp's best days are behind him. Wonder if any black kids will be asking Tom Jackson if it's OK for them to be defensive linemen, what with the slavemasters fining them for any little thing they do.

Spicy McHaggis 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 For the sake of Mike's argument here's what a "white Sapp" might've said: "He snitched and pimp come down. That's all that is. ... Stop a man from doing something that he's been doing for nine years?" "And so now there's a rule against me. Thanks. I knew (the league) was gonna do what they did because they've been notoriously against me. Like I said before, it's a ho system. Make no mistake about it, pimp say you can't do it, don't do it. They'll make an example out of you." ""Do we not have anybody that understands that there's way more scrubs in this game that are Negros than there are white ones that are being pumped up?"
