Does anyone know how to put people on ignore?
In this thread so far, the word "racist" has been used 8 times.The first was brew quoting Terrence Rencher as saying he "never witnessed any racist energy" from McDermott.The other 7 are in this screed of yours.In other words, no Scoopers called McDermott racist.What some of us have said is that he made a racially insensitive comment. In fact, he said that himself and profusely apologized for it.But yes, as usual, let's turn this discussion into a familiar theme:White males just can't catch a break in America.
No, but the media is. Deadspin had a headline that "Creighton has failed every black player and coach that’s ever been in Greg McDermott’s program." Defector, ("extremely racist"), USA Today, SBNation, the Omaha World, ESPN, The Athletics, and others have referred to his statement/actions as "racist" and that his apology is not enough. A well-known sports anchor from SNY has called out other coaches like Izzo, Self, and Boeheim to condemn him or be labeled as racists themselves. It's why the current cottage industry is the "anti-racism" movement and people like Ibrahim X Kendi can make tens of thousands per appearance to speak to college campuses.it has nothing to do with your "white males" claim, which is usually a default of the woke crowd. Asians and Latinos/Latinas are being tarred with the "racist" label too.
If I was a Creighton fan, I’m not sure how sorry I’d be to see McDermott go. The guy’s teams don’t perform well in March, and I don’t think he’s all that different from Wojo. Good enough to stick around, never quite bad enough to get fired.
He oversaw the leap from the Valley to the Big East and it was largely seamless. He’s still winning a lot in a place far off the usual Big East map. Having Doug helped make the transition but they’ve done better overall than I would have guessed
When in history have the people who ban books and censor speech been the good guys?Asking for a friencd
I actually thing Ethan Wragge was the key to that first team. Obviously Doug was a stellar talent but Wragge would light you up from outside so you couldn't double Doug.
Who is banning books or censoring speech?
Eh, maybe. He said he immediately apologized, and it is the first time something like this has come up with him. If there was more to it, there would be more reports from players and coworkers... sort of like there was with Gregg Marshall.I think this story is over unless other past allegations arise.
Dude! Dr. Seuss. Cancel culture etc.etc.
I agree 100%. I doubt many blacks were offended - although I do not presume to speak for them. It's pretty easy to spot racists whether here on Scoop or in the real world. McDermott isn't one of them and I expect little fallout.
If McD is toast are there any recruits or players there we can poach?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Sounds like a two tiered school system to me. How more in depth learning can there be for fourth grade math. There should be no excuse for fourth graders not knowing how to add, subtract, multiply and divide because having those skills fractions, decimals, and percentages are easily understood. At those grade levels a test should be used not separate high scorers and put them in a special class but to give remedial help to those students who did not score as well so they can catch up.
The company that owns the rights to publish Dr. Suess books is deciding not to publish them. That's not "banning books." It's a private company making a decision that private companies make.And who is censoring speech? No one is being arrested for saying things. People are facing consequences for the free speech they execute, but that's always been the case.Cancel culture just isn't really a thing outside of another way conservatives have turned themselves into the victim-class.
