So what continent do you think Israel is on?
what continent it is on does not categorize them as people as Asian. Brooklyn and Queens are technically part of Long Island but you won't find any in those boroughs who call themselves "Long Islanders.' Israeli's are descended from a different people. Would you consider Mexicans or Costa Ricans or other Hispanics as the same peoples as Americans or Canadians? I mean, it's connected to North American so they must be the same.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I'm actually married to one.Yes, in the Philippines basketball is huge (if you haven't read Pacific Rims I suggest picking it up) but Fil-Am culture is very different from Filipino culture. Right now there is only one Filipino in the NBA, Jordan Clarkson, who is half. There was a lot of hope for Kobe Paras (also half) but he flamed out at three schools and went to the Philippines for college where his dad is still a legend. Other than Spolestra there aren't any Filipino coaches and he's half Filipino and born in the US. Fil-Am's, especially first-generation, generally leave sports in or after high school to concentrate on academics. That is highly ingrained in the Asian culture and sports participation looked down upon (typical in many Asian households were team sports are seen as a distraction). Plus, the average Filipino male is 5-5 so basketball isn't a long term option for them. It also explains their 40-year losing streak in the World Cup and Olympic qualifying events.

He’s in that group because it was his fellow coaching staff member who founded it. A couple other white coaches from the staff joined to support Sonic. At the time it was founded there were only two Asian-Americans in college coaching. To try and claim anyone from the Middle East as “Asian” (especially since they would not check that box) to prove a point on a message board is the height of intellectual dishonesty.

This thread confirms that racism in US keeps growing. We are heading back to the good old times like some here wish. Unfortunately Rome will burn and fall.
Simple positive thread entirely ruined by a deranged lunatic (chicos) ✅Can anyone point me to one that this psychopath has not ruined?
I agree that it does....it shows that people don't care about the plight of Asians who are also minorities. Or go to the free agency thread and how few of the supposedly "WOKE" here don't care about minorities and women losing opportunities in athletics and how their programs should be purged to help the 1%. Sure sounds racist to me.
Interesting...I have never been called out for my “intellectual dishonesty” for quoting published geography sources before. I am sure all my Palestinian friends from Israel will be happy to check that traditional white European box on their immigration form.Serious question: Did you, Cheeks, Ners and the other ex-MUAD alums have to take Bloviating 101 back in the day?

I'm Filipino and basketball fandom is big in my family. participation was less encouraged, but part of that was my dad being in the Navy and my mom not having time to support it when he'd be deployed.I don't recall Asian only leagues while growing up in San Diego, but I've met Cheeks and don't have any reason to disbelieve that they exist.
So Chico's pontificating against kids being able to move around just like coaches is actually because he really, really cares about minorities and women losing opportunities? LOL. And you're miffed when people laugh at you with scorn and derision.“I came back here last week, but will keep appearance limited.” --Cheeks
But, it’s okay for student athletes in non-revenue sports to move around as the NCAA allows today, but not in the two revenue sports where Direct TV has unbalanced conference revenue contracts.
Yep. If you're on a full scholarship for lacrosse - something many schools, especially in the East, offer - you have the freedom to transfer without having to sit out a year. Same if you're on scholarship for volleyball, wrestling, softball, you name it. Heck, same if you're on scholarship for acting, editing the school paper, playing an instrument, etc; with those there isn't even a 1-year rule, you could transfer to any school you want whenever you want.But it's A-OK to discriminate against athletes in 5 sports, because ... ?
Even though this question does not have to do with the Original Top, still curious. What is the transfer rate in non revenue sports?
See Page 10 in the report below.The top 10 (among four-year school transfers, i.e. excluding JUCOs) are:Women's beach volleyball - 19.1 percentMen's soccer - 16.1 percentMen's basketball - 14.3 percentMen's tennis - 13.1 percentWomen's tennis - 13 percentWomen's basketball - 11.7 percentMen's golf - 8.9 percentWomen's volleyball - 8.8 percentWomen's golf - 8.6 percentMen's skiing - 8.3 percentFWIW, FBS football is just 4.3 percenthttps://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/transfers/Aug2019RES_TransCompD1TeamsSlides.pdf
Good stats, Pak. Thanks.Men's soccer - which has some big, popular programs - has big-time transfer numbers.It's amazing all those programs haven't had to be shut down because, well, you know.
It has been wildly abused in men’s soccer and has been for years Mr. Passive Aggressive. Coaches have complained about it for a long time as kids are poached to other programs.But since men’s soccer doesn’t fund programs like football and basketball do, no it would not impact programs being shut down. Now, if you start doing this with actual profit bearing programs like football and basketball, different story.
