Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 2597721, member: 1220"] There was enough information available if one just read through the lines and noticed all the red flags that there was nothing racial involved. Yet what really is the difference if it was or not. One of the problems with the focus on racial issues is that other forms of insults and slurs are ignored. Simons is someone who is dealing with a lot of emotional issues. She does not need more on her plate. Harassing any player from the stands should not be tolerated. The point of any harassment is to diminish a persons sense of esteem. We should strive to treat everyone with respect. If we did that then race and other forms of bigotry would no longer be an issue. We need to decide if our objective in respect to sports is to build people up or to tear them down. The term good sport used to mean something but it has appeared to have lost it's meaning. [/QUOTE]
