Why does ESPN allow this?

I think Da U should be bombed....nothing but trouble comes from that place.

anyone old enough to remember the late Jimmy The Greek ? Irvin is a crack head jerk, espn let's them say anything they want, because of people like jessie jackson and others will come get behind them, WHO stands' up for white people, no body. i would like for everyone to be equal and say what they feel, i said something about T.O. on another site and was bashed for saying he would not play for me at any level, we was a sick SOB, race was never mention, but what can you do? PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M A BIGOT OR RACIST, I'M NOT!!!!! it's just unfair sometimes to white people.

My dad and I were talking about Jimmy the Greek during lunch.

Greek said "bred to be the better athlete because"

If he didn't use the word 'bred' all would be well. If he made those comments today it probably would not start an uproar.

I think Rush limbaugh was fired for saying alot less than this jerk.

I was watching when Rush made his comments. I agreed with his comments. At the same time I was thinking "he's in trouble".

I See Michael Did A Few Lines Of Coke Again Before Doing Interviews

By the way Frank Jimmy the Greek was a true capper and a good one, not many like him around anymore.

[Blackbeard]

how about a michael irvin/michael richards debate? that would be interesting

I had a couple of classes at miami with Irvin, tv acting 101 or some shit and some other communications class, he was not this big of a dope back than, although I'm sure he got a pass on some classes

Two Ton & Frank...you're right on & I couldn't agree more. This double standard has become accepted & until "white" America stops taking it, it's NEVER going to change. It's not only in the sports world, but it's all around us in our everyday world!

[LSUMONSTER]

It's called Black Power, guys. Double standard all the way.
If a white guy says something like that, he will be fired; but a black guy says it, then it's OK

Another thing I notice in the USA is that African Americans are more united than White Americans. Honestly, I thought if OJ Simpson was charged as guilty, we would have had RIOT all over Black dominated cities, a la Rodney King type.

One last word, I am neither Black nor White, ( I'm sure you guys can tell by my English Grammar) so I just tell you guys my true feeling of this country.

This thread is very interesting.

For me, Frank summed it right up in #7.

Bud Gregg makes a great point in #15. All that legilsation back then was intended to combat a double standard just like this one.

It's just a shame that, in 2006, we still have to discuss racial dicrimination.

That's because you are a MONSTER

[frankb03]

Can one imagine the uproar if someone started WET, White Entertainment TV?

[bwade210]

It's just another example of the "double standard" United States of America that we live in! There's no need to look any further than the United Negro College Fund. What would happen if there was a United Anglo College Fund?! Do you honestly believe that all anglos have enough money to go to college? Or how about the infamous BET or Black Entertainment Television. How deadly and destructive would the riots be if there was a White Entertainment Television channel?! It's a disgrace!

[Kaptain]

I just consider the source and move on from there......kapt

[SustainDan]

between Charles Barkley and Michael Irvin they are great role models...My favorite is of course OJ Simpson

IF I did it

[LSUMONSTER]

That's because you are a MONSTER

What's up Frank???
I do look for your picks whenever I log on and it seems lately that you don't have a lot of picks posted???

You have bailed me out so many times in the past and it's really sad that I don't see your picks as many as before
