Message: [QUOTE="UConniki, post: 2444105, member: 1129"] Man.... I live in the south and there are flaming in your face racists everywhere. Pointing out bad grammar in someones speech isn't racist. The man has a 4 year college degree, he's around 40? years old, plenty of time and opportunity to work and improve on ones grammar if one chooses to. Enough with the excuses and if you think the poster is being racist by pointing out KO's horrible grammar your delusional. He's paid 3 million to do a job and part of that job is to speak in public as a representative of the University of Connecticut. I try and politely correct my 5 year old when need be . " I dude it," is now " I did it". My 15 year old used to say " we was" and now says " we were". One is in high school, the other is in pre K. A good portion of the south generally referred to as trailer park trash are easily identified by their grammar, but their excuse is being under educated. Pointing out bad grammar used by KO isn't racist it's a valid criticism considering his education and his occupation. Correct use of English is sometimes a matter of pride and priorities. If our coach was white and used the same bad grammar I think the criticism would be even greater and there wouldn't be a discussion about race. Stop with the bullcr*p. Thanks [/QUOTE]
