Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2282623, member: 591"] Like others, I agree with the point about the culture, behavior and general attitudes of Ball. That said, I too, for some reason. felt the article was in a tone I didn't like. I suspect she got "into" a subject she felt passionate about, and obviously wrote from her viewpoint. I think that the so-called masculine aspects of the role he models are only part of it - and in the end she made it sound like all of it, or at least the focus of the article. I don't think the culture of men's basketball (and I too have used the "too much testosterone" label about the men's basketball crowd (even though I'm male)) can be singularly defined in criticizing a form of masculinity. So, in the end, I found, even as I agreed with the piece in general, that I didn't like the tone. [/QUOTE]
