Tabonga | 2,313 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) I am not sure which group is more disgusting (they both are) - the thugs that beat on the referee or the other "officials" that did nothing whilst this was happening. To hell with the lot of them. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/basketball-referee-gets-30-stitches-after-teen-players-attack-him-221915709.html Edited April 11, 2022 by Tabonga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as there aren't two sets of tracks on the guy, where the driver backed up to make sure, I'd say he's in the clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they got the idea in the first place - pretty obvious they did not go to the gig. I particularly liked how one of them couldn't admit they were wrong when called out but maintained the dj must have have used something to look blacker in an online picture (wtf?). Dude - just admit you were a clown on this matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,926 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) wow! Outrageous! “A fox news article via yahoo? Its 2003 all over again!” I mean, calling co-chairs of a diversity committee for the Scottsdale elementary school district “Arizona Diversity Leaders” is a bit of a stretch, but it definitely plays into the white-victimhood-diversityboogeyman-fever dream its supposed to. DIVERSITY IS BAD *Shakes fist at social change* @avatar! I appreciate that a couple nobodies from AZ that were pretentious, busybody assholes outraged you so much you had to paraphrase a post that would have gone un-recogonized, and then like the post that responded to your post- it made me want to read it. I then realized it was typical Faux-news lazy outrage nonsense, and proceeded to call it out as such. IMO, a better title would be: “fake culture war pricks make racist mistake” but then that doesnt frame diversity and equality in a negative way, does it?

I would hope, you too, would agree that what they did was unacceptable. No one is saying these "busybody assholes" deserve to be executed, but called-out for what they did? absolutely. They did apologize, and I'm sure there will be fallout from the whole episode. Regardless, I think we can all agree what they did was stupid, asinine, and appropriately noted in this thread which is for stupid and asinine things people do To be fair, this was from a local news channel which is affiliated with Fox, this is not the same thing as Tucker Carlson just making shite up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are multiple sources reporting this with some minor minor variation on what is being stated. They likely all stem from one or two common feeds - likely started as a local story that caught on (as often happens). None of the ones I looked at varied much from the main line of events.* *Such as stating the DJ was really a white stand in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was terrible of them. Nobody is arguing that it isnt. Its stupid SJW bullshit, especially in todays time. It gives the people who actually fight for inclusion a bad wrap, and ammo to the garbage people who want to murder trans kids. Judging by that article, they aren’t “Diversity leaders”. When its Framed as “diversity leaders” or “woke social justice warriors” instead of “school board members”, its rightwing misinformation creeping in. Thats it.

Everyone knows that if you make a beer run carrying a live alligator without the snout being taped up it is very likely to try to bite you.
