OT: Geno

Just curious, how is this sour grapes?

She lost her job on the USA Women's basketball security detail, that's how.

If you really dont think that a white immigrant in the fifties had a leg up on every African-American alive, then I dont know what to tell you.

I think the real problem us that youre implying this woman didn't work just as hard to get her job. You dont know that.

But you seem more than ready to assume that.

I wonder why that is.

FYI, its not the 50s anymore.

Wow.
I have no intention of perpetuating this debate much further, this is (was?) after all a thread about HCGA .
The amount of wishful thinking reflected in your post speaks volumes. To suggest that because now there's legislation to counter racism, and somehow that SHOULD be sufficient is once again, a very simplistic approach to a complex problem. Not to mention the why/how there was ever a NEED for such laws, and what the human cost was to finally have them enacted.
Its like seeing a homeless person and telling them to "get a job", without having any clue as to why/how they ended up where they are. I have a friend who looks at want-ads & wonders why "those people" can't find work. His conclusion is the simplistic one...they must be "lazy". Right, all neat & wrapped in a bow.
If the world was as uncomplicated as you seem to think it is, we would all be in a much better place. Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. There's alot of gray in the black and white prism that you seem to have enacted for yourself.
Peace.

Classic case of using a lot of words but actually saying nothing. Well done.

What she did was vengeful lying and slander (if Geno is innocent), not just sour grapes.

Much to your chagrin, right?

I thought the point of the Off Topic board was so that the wingnuts had a place to spew their white populist nostaligia somewhere else?

She did not lose her job, she is still employed by the NBA. She was reassigned, and I doubt the reassignment cost her a dime in salary.

Her lawyer says they could settle before the Olympics but nobody is talking to him yet.

Oh, look..here comes another bigot reaffirming his inadequacy from behind a keyboard.
Boring.

Hardwick never lost her job with the NBA and in fact, she's part of Stern's personal security force. Her complaint is that the NBA didn't assign her to guard WNBA players at the Olympics.

No loss in pay. Still holding a prominent position. Does she have any damages? Does this thing survive summary judgement?
