I hope he doesn’t commit anywhere. If he ends up drafted in the lottery after sitting out a season, I think we may see some kids start doing that. If there becomes a trend of the top 10 freshmen sitting out and waiting for the draft o could see a rule change. Would almost force the NBA to do a 2AD rule or move to the baseball model.

Thon Maker proved it can be done if you have enough upside. If Robinson also gets in the lottery, that proves the NBA doesn’t actually care if you get play CBB or not.

Good to know.

@BeddieKU23 And played tight games in at least 2 others they played. Won one game by only 2 points.

It’s not about picking sides for me. As I get your passion on taking down the statues. Yet I’m skeptical that is where it ends. You this is a movement. Movements don’t end until they are impeded. If you think this movement stops with statues then I’m not sure you’re seeing the same picture I’m seeing.

This movement is receiving a well earned victory. The statues are indeed coming down. However will it stop there? Will the leaders of this movement and it’s people be satisfied.

That’s the million dollar question. Many of our founder fathers were indeed slave owners. Will it appease the movement that some of these founding fathers release their slaves at their demise? Or will the movement say not good enough? Lets not for get our constitution was signed by slave owners. Will this one day try to take down the constitution because it was signed by slave owners?

Your guess is as good as mine.

You mean the movement of equality and ending racism? What about that scares you?

@DoubleDD That story doesn’t even say who did it? It could have been some White Supremacist trying to get payback for all we know.

OU, UT, TCU, TTU, ISU, KSU and OSU are all bubble teams or worse.

• ACC has 5 teams in the top 4 seeds. 1 team below a 8 seed.
• Big XII has 2 teams in the top 4 seeds. 4 teams below an 8 seed.

Think we can all see who has the best conference here.

@DoubleDD Will the next generation of America be pissed that we condemned racism and white supremacy?

No.

And if we do our jobs well, they won’t even understand or see racism. So no, they won’t be pissed about it.

Should we debate this topic? Sure. One side is supporting of racism or the freedom to be racist. If you feel like supporting those go ahead. The other side is against racism and denounces it. Choose your side…

And finally, tearing down Mount Rushmore is not the same thing. George Washington is not being celebrated for being a part of the South or being a Slave owner. He is being celebrated as the First President of the United States who initially helped free our entire country from the British. He also released his slaves upon his death. I’d say all in all, George gets a pass being as how if he didn’t slaves would have probably stayed slaves for a whole lot longer and the entire continent of North America would basically all be Canada. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, and yet he also played a major role in ending slavery. You also have Lincoln, and we all know what he did… But more than anything, Mt. Rushmore is a feat of human excellence in a time where you would have never thought something so amazing could have been done. So comparing Mt. Rushmore to a statue of Robert E. Lee is really apples and oranges.

@DoubleDD That’s the one takeaway you get from my post…

@approxinfinity Only one statue in Germany that I believe has a swastika and it was a monument built by the Soviets in honor of their soldiers. It is beautiful, as is the surrounding area around the statue. It is called the Soviet War Memorial at Treptower Park. Only reason they allow the swastika is that it isn’t a celebration of it. It is actually a condemnation of it. When I was there, the Owner of my Hostel told me to go. But he wouldn’t even say the word swastika out loud. That is how condemned it is there.

I also went to a Concentration Camp while I was in Berlin. It was an eerie place. Surreal to believe I was standing in a spot where tens of thousands died. To see the living conditions they dealt with. To hear about the experiments done to men. These are again, set up in a way to 10000% condemn Hitler and the Nazi movement.

Our statues are there to celebrate men who enslaved, or fought to enslave, millions of people. To rape, murder and abuse them. Not to condemn. Not to educate. To f-ing celebrate all that is wrong with the early history of America… It shouldn’t even be a debate.

Yea nothing will come of this.

Sounds like the waitress’ fault if you ask me. Guarantee that Bar Louie has a POS system that you swipe the card to start the tab so that you can never walk out on one. Sounds like he was getting free drinks from a girl in high school and he left without tipping her and she got pissed.
