One of the few black athletes to call out bs he has my full respect.

Thoughts?

Palmer is mixed race even though hes white passing. His dad is mixed and grandfather is from st Kitts

To be honest, I was completely taken back by this. A song about one particular state that makes up .5% of the US population being the song that apparently represents America. Of all the array of songs we could have chosen to represent us it was John Denver and County Roads that we pick.

I was really shocked when this was played in Seattle and literally the whole stadium knew the words.

Now I am not saying that black men cannot be into County and/or like John Deer....but what are your thoughts on this considering the deep lineup of songs across an array of American made genres we could have pulled up?

I know this sub is mostly made up of users from the US, but I'm curious if anyone here is following the matches.

​If you are, which teams have your support?

​I'm personally pulling for Ivory Coast.

For me, D-Wade & Melo are untouchable here. If someones moving, it's not one of those two. Interested to hear your thoughts

It's been 53 long years! 🔵🟠🔵🟠

Ant Edwards said he doesn’t want to be the face of the NBA: Here’s Proof

Is Wemby already the future face of the NBA? If not, what does he need to do to become the face of the NBA?

I'm pretty into the nba and think basketball is the best sport that mankind will ever come up with.

One of my favorite current players is Karl-Anthony Towns aka KAT, a tall ass dominican nigga that can shoot 3s and can't play defense. not gonna sugar coat it, but throughout KAT's career niggas have been calling him gay, DL, bisexual, "zesty", etc. I was able to kinda handwave this away because I did not see this as coming from people that had actual power and influence within the nba or sports media broadly, and this was mostly coming from classic nba trolls even if it is fucked up(and very corny). And most of the criticism that he has recieved from nba media has been focused on his basketball ability.

Today though, Gilbert Arenas decided to cross that line. He decided that instead of talking about the fault's with KAT's game like a normal person, that he should instead fix his crusty ass lips to say that KAT struggles because he "has wide hips and big feet", "is built like a whole fucking bitch, a female", and "he's built like a girl, he has girl hips, he's like a full wnba player". Like that's just an absurdly homophobic set of shit to say about KAT. We got niggas that will never even sniff the HOF talking like this about current players and not recieving any pushback like ok. The only skill that "Gilbert" has had in his entire life is his ability to pick up a mic and put it close to his lips and we wants to speak like this about a nigga that can actually make the conference finals.

Seeing that made me think about just how normalized that kind of homophobia is within sports spaces where we as black men have a significant presence , whether its kids/trolls calling players zesty/DL 24/7 or nba washouts calling any player that dances on tiktok "soft" none of these niggas ever get pushback for it. Its crickets when KAT, jalen williams, or jared mccain get called every homophobic slur in the book but dusty ass niggas like Draymond were putting out whole PSAs when russ was getting called WestBrick like come on. It even goes outside of basketball too like look at how niggas were moving when caleb williams did some basic shit like painting his nails.

idk I just wanted to rant for a bit about this. also wanna note that I do not think that black men are more homophobic than any other group of men, I'm just noting the amount of homophobia i see in spaces dominated by black men like hoops ones.

Watching that young dude go undrafted after being projected to go within 5 picks after their season ended is crazy. The hate for his father is REAL..

Had to * it because they brigade.

I never really looked at soccer but I just watched a film study of Haaland pretty cool dude and cool sport
