More praise for Andre Jackson

[cohenzone]

I’m not bothered by it. I just think it adds zero. But you like it. Whoopee.

I love a taunt here and there. Just be up by a lot and kick your opponents *** from that point foward. Shabazz doing the sleep gesture.....is a taunt. Kemba smiling and laughing while he’s kicking your *** is a taunt. It’s just the ones y’all don’t mind. When Stanley caught that alley on Texas he did exactly what Andre Jackson did. Yet no one in the stands complained. I wonder why? If Andre Jackson catches the poster of the decade in a UConn Jersey and screams in the kids face, no one there live will give a damn. Lighten up. It’s a game.

Grow up sport. It doesn’t “bother” me. It’s not that important and this is just a sports fan board. Happy New Year.

I must admit....A lot less impressive when the kid is 6-8 inches shorter than you

Bingo and 6-8 is being nice. But really impressive LOL

See Cohen no shot. From dunks and basketball to lynches and church bombings. Nice comparison.

Cohen brought it up. The point is black people wouldn't say some things were worlds better in the 60's.

Gentleman trash talker?

In reference to Bird just running back down court after a good play rather than attempt to show up the opponent.

Strongest "OK Boomer" take of a lot of white hot take options.

I really extra hate this board when this dumb shiz shows its face.

It's never a good look to put rose colored glasses on. Makes you look super duper naive.

It's important to remember that Mayberry never existed, folks.

Mau and I agree on a lot of issues. We disagree on this one. I’m considerably older than mau.

The tendency to generalize frequently results in stereotyping. In your attempt to marginalize a segment of the population you end up undermining some valid points.

Whether or not it’s deliberate you have demonstrated a prejudice towards this group. You certainly are not alone. Some of it is just humor but I get the impression that even among those who express it with humor there is an underlying bias.

I don’t believe in censorship. Which is why I come down on the side of supporting players expressing their emotions on the court. I feel that you and @superjohn might want to reflect on this.

A significant improvement in attitudes towards certain segments of the population today compared to the sixties. A lot more needs to be done imo. Sadly economic fears seem to be undoing some of the gains. Of course some of that “improvement” resulted from the boomer population questioning past constructs and insisting on change.

Ironically the attitude towards the elderly was significantly better in the sixties then compared to the present.

Society in general is gear towards a 'youth focus'. That's who recklessly spends the money. And also why you see home runs being pimped. Which I love

Western society is youth focused. Different cultures handle the adjustment from human’s dependent state to independent state differently.

Different conditions in different periods of time influence how the transition is expressed.

Yeah, but which generation has the money?

Geez, let the kid do his thing after a great play. I love the passion- it’s about damn time.

What percentage of that generation has it? And how much of that wealth is accumulated in modalities that can crash?

It’s good to see you posting here. Unlike the women’s forum this forum is primarily unrestrained passion. The individuals (cross generational) who prefer a degree of decorum rarely observe it here.

So we’re passionately expressing if players should or should not express themselves and in what manner.

Give it up. Mau is right. So confrontational behavior is the shining light of whatever your generation thinks are major advances in sports competition since the 1960s. And it’s being compared to incremental advances in civil rights. Beyond dumb. Believe it or not, I’m pretty modern for an old dude and it’s pretty silly that you get off on some other guy getting off for throwing a ball through a hoop. I suppose you and that player were just plain bored the rest of the game without the Adrenalin rush.

With debt, everyone has the money! The 'best' consumers are usually younger. If you can corner the teenage girl market, you are making millions.

Agree wholeheartedly with the second bit.
