The way this topic has turned has gotten things very weird. We're now talking about the education of America? That's great and all but this is a sports forum. ...

Yeah, sports is never used to talk about social issues:

And when you use a sports forum to talk about race it never ends well: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/kdio2q

It ends well if the person doing the talking is not an idiot. Parker's comments were idiotic. He made racist, stereotypical comments about a player, based on race alone.

Give me another analogy.

It is ok to talk about sports in context with economics, religion, gender, social issues, race, the family, etc, etc, etc, as long as the sub topics are pertinent.

Again, I find it ironic that two basketball coaches took their basketball time to talk to a social issue. Turned out well in both cases. Same thing for other discussions.

Here's an idea, maybe it's way out there, and maybe I'm the last person that should come up with it, but here goes. Ace Dad, quit race baiting. It's pretty transparent. And DJA, quit baiting the race baiter. It is equally transparent.

You guys go on and on, but you don't see me posting pictures of midgets. If I can lay off the midget pics, both of you can knock off your crap.
