| MBB/WBB LSU women feeling disrespected by UofSC's loss? (But yeah, Clark did, well, just dismiss UofSC's shooting skills.)

About six or seven weeks ago, when we were looking forward to and talking about the brackets and the SEC tourney @252BAMA mentioned Iowa being in one of Bama's brackets. In that thread I mentioned Caitlin Clark was the best story coming out of Iowa.

She hasn't disappointed. And this IS saying, "No. I don't respect or fear your shooting."

If someone had a tattoo of an American flag and their coach made them cover it up the populus would be enraged. Brittney has tattoo's her coach doesn't like and she does the same thing.

You may not like Brittney. It's not right to deny her freedom of expression. Mulkey pulled 1A shit with Griner on the basis of a scholarship.

Here's a bit of a word salad for you. You don't have to respect a belief, or lifestyle, but you have to respect a person's right to have that lifestyle/belief.

This isn't an opinion based on some "woke" philosophy. We've seen different occupations require employees to cover tattoo's for years. And in that very sentence you see how murky this becomes ... we have a person who was recruited for their talents and forced to cover their own body art?

So, we've got 1A issues here. I've got a problem with what I see as a challenge to God given free will choices. I look at all of this and believe that's not a coach I'd want as part of the UA system.

Where exactly is the First Amendment issue here?

I had some "need to re-read before hitting pst reply"
So it should say...."i dont respect anybody that that disrespects America "

Was on iphone ( little screen) and responded without rereading and without my reading glasses! Bad on me !

no word salad...sorry

You've been adamant about that with more than one story and it's not lost on anyone. It's not my point here. Let's flip the script a bit ...

When Tebow was playing at Florida I remember seeing and hearing from people who didn't like seeing Jn 3:16 on his wrists and eye blockers. If we would have seen Meyer telling Tim he couldn't do that or made him cover it up I'd have called ol' Urban a Xenophobe as well. Tim has the right to express his beliefs publicly. People may not like them. Those same people don't have the right to not be offended (word salad again, but I think you'll get the point.)

While folks may not respect Griner they should respect her right to voice her beliefs: let her be her. With the exception of a few fan bases I try to do my damnedest to view everyone individually...as eccentric as I've grown to be it's only fair.

HA! I was just in the kitchen trying to read instructions without mine ... packages have gotten smaller as well as the damn print on the back of the box. The next time I buy anything that comes in a box, I'm starting with the cereal box sizes ...

Lol..i haven't learned to take reading glasses everywhere...causes buyimg wrong stuff all the time

Ok. True. But .....
Your flipping script

Is there limits?
Everything offends someone?...so it seems....
Are there sacred areas....God..Jesus....Mothers......then surely America

Players kneel....TVs of posters in this forum Went off on the nfl....
Who has the say...if i was the HC and a player had a anti-American tat... i could say...no play .... would that my right...

But..this is America,..a lot of sacrifices been made to have this country...and give these assholes the right to do the unmentionable things...
Protest..burn our flag...postBLM shit...many others...

It reflects on them...in our own way....i just see limits...and outside those limits...is unacceptable ...
 
Isn't a xenophobe someone who hates people from other countries? How does that come into play here? Griner is American, and the Tebow example would seem to be better classified as being atheistic, not xenophobic.

Its just a word the left calls people these days… most don’t even know what it means…what’s its gonna take is some real gators to give some attitude adjustments… that’s the only language they will understand… is to ram their words back down their pieholes

Technically, yes, in its original usage. Here, I'm using it to describe a dislike for a culture. I'd have to hit Dictionary.com to get the precise definition. I'm thinking there's a few things that fall under its definition today.

When Griner was "stepping out on her own" at Baylor Mulkey took exception to some of her "body art" forcing her to wear clothes to cover these tattoo's. She carried a disdain for what Griner was expressing. I don't believe that's right.

Fear, distrust, dislike, disdain, hatred, strangers, foreign, cultures, beliefs ... ⬅️ guesses at key words for Xenophobe.

The state of Alabama often suffers from a xenophobic bias from Northerners. Does that make me a leftist?

I was responding to snakedoc… All these words such as the above listed and “racism” are used by mostly leftist people, because it is taught to them for their “Socialist/Communist Revolution”
Take about an hour and a half out of your life to watch “ More deadly than war” by G. Edward Griffin”…Very good education about what is going on now..Stunningly accurate and is happening now…
People don’t even know what true xenophobia and racism is until you have been a US troop fighting in a foriegn country…Grindr should really kiss the ground everyday now..

Griner was on scholarship at a private Baptist college. They have rules, and they are within their rights to have them. Mulkey has chosen to stay out of the mix when it comes to player sexuality, again her right.

I have no issues with how someone chooses to live their life. That used to be known as tolerance. Now, if you don't do a big belly flop in their pool, embracing and celebrating just how special and courageous they are for being who they've chosen to be or the choices they make, you are now considered intolerant.

Because this is Griner, this could be about sexuality or drug use, or both. In most cities, there is the constant stench of weed, you can tell when the goofball ahead of you in traffic is taking a hit at 7am, and the dank miasma of weed is in most every parking deck in Atlanta and Charlotte. I find it ironic that the same who are militant about cigarette smoke wade through that stench every day in cities without saying a word.
