Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3433593, member: 2524"] To borrow a legal term, "statement not in evidence." You have no idea whether the state of Indiana protected Knight because he was white, or because he was their basketball coach; and whether the outcome would have been any different if Knight had been black and the police officer white. You're simply speculating here, and accusing others of racial bias without evidence. Early stages of dementia often make people irritable and angry. Popular and powerful sports figures often get a lot of leeway in their conduct, regardless of their race. I don't think we need to go beyond those two generalizations in explaining everything that happened around Bob Knight. [/QUOTE]
