Since controversy equals hits, I'm sure my explanation of the analogy from Monday's Warriors post will never get read, but here it goes:
You have your home pick-up court with your friends that you play along with every week, right? Suddenly a team of pretty-boy frat guys (in their effeminate powder blue jerseys and Euro smugness) roll in and beat your brains in and start talking trash along the way. You look around and think, "No fucking way! This is not fucking happening!" So you take out a few guys as they drive to the hole. You throw an elbow as you grab a board. They may beat you, but you're kicking there prettyboy-asses along the way. THAT is how I saw the way Golden State was reacting on Sunday. They were at the Oracle and NOBODY comes into the Oracle and wins. And NOBODY tries to dunk along the way as time is running out. NOOO-BOOOD-EEEEE!!
I hope I'm clear on the anaology.
BTW - I'm not saying that Venice Beach is my home court (but the talent there is closer to NBA than where I normally play (unless you count 5th string Clippers), but I was hoping I got my point across.)
Race was not the intent... just humor. Relax people...
go crawl back into your KKK hole

um that is racist humor. worse than don imus!! if you cannot see it, even in this stupid explanation, you are an idiot. i will go link to this in the gsom comments right now... gsom is not afraid of you dumbasses. they are not doing this to take eyes away from you and you obviously just want to get some of their traffic on this lame racists blog.

[cross-post]
First, GSOM did take the bait and link your ignorant garbage. Second, here's the cross-post explaining to you why you made a racist statement (whether or not you believe you ARE a racist).
Dude - Your "you don't get the analogy" statement is pure B.S.
I've played at Venice Beach, and just because you've played there doesn't mean your statement wasn't racist.
You have an obligation as the "journalist" to be clear and avoid racist comments. You didn't need to call the "schoolboys" white to get your point across, and you fell right into the trap of giving the impression that the Jazz are the "whites" and the Dubs are "jive ass bruthahs."
Apologize or lose all credibility. Up to you.

well I'll give you an A for effort, but an F for the overall save. you did nothing to convince me that your post was harmless.
to assume there's no racial undertone in your comments is like saying "colored" doesn't have the potential to be offensive.
the context was there. anybody who knows anything about writing will tell you that.
but good try though. next time just know when to cut your losses and say "my bad."
