Are you seriously comparing the two? Ok to flip it, does this woman have abnormally thick lips? Cartoonists often portray people inaccurately, that's kind of the point, they are trying to make the subject look gormless or imbecilic........ Many whites who have lips no larger than Serena's have been...

Would you draw a black person you knew that way and show it to them? Genuine question. I don't think you would. This question makes no sense..... Cartoonists almost always portray the people they are lampooning in an unflattering way, they exaggerate their features for the purpose of making their s...

This is what I was saying. It was never going to pass un-noticed and will now be used to bury her terrible behaviour. The people complaining about the cartoon were gonna play the racist/sexist card to defend her anyway, if they hadnt already done so. People have been bagging on Trumps small hands/o...

I find it bizarre that CNN et al are essentially defending her. They are? Now there's a surprise. :roll: Imagine if roles were reversed and a white male tennis player abused a black female ump and demanded an apology from her...... WAPO, CNN, the Guardian et al would all be admonishing the player f...

Also that crowd....they were totally feral.

Worst part about it for me.... She goes on that rant and they clapped her for it. Who in their right mind would think such a display of unsportsmanlike and petulant behavior was worthy of lusty applause?

Mo Cheeks speech, that is another classy guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDqZSKixhG4

Dr J must be the player that has welcomed more inductees than anyone else, Mo Cheeks and Charlie Scott in the same night for one, I know he was one of 4 players welcoming Shaq.

Ray Allen HOF speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaDke3WL5MI I always find it hard to watch these without getting a little bit emotional.

One of the great professionals and role models in this sport, a really classy guy.

Dont follow tennis much tbh but isnt this her MO? I remember her having a meltdown a few years ago in the US open and getting really nasty/personal with the ump. I had to turn the channel over because I couldnt stand her obnoxiousness...... Defo one of the most unlikeable athletes out there.

"Theyll be a few French Canadian gangs"......... Montreal used to have a la cosa nostra crime family that was on par with the NYC families.

Thanks for the context/background village....... Kaepernick then opted to leave the 49ers and try his luck on the free agent market. I think that's worth noting: despite the protest, the 49ers didn't cut him or fire him, he chose to leave with a year left on his contract. So, if I'm reading this rig...

It's not just a single marketing campaign, they've put him on a new deal where he will get his own lines etc . I don't see how they can build a line around this dude.......

Seems like a reprise of the mid 90's Eric Cantona anti racism ad campaign........ Even down to the black and white film. Yeah, it's pretty galling when large corporations who operate sweatshops in the 3rd world try to portray themselves as social justice advocates. Pay your employees a living wage,...

Healey’s autobiography must be the only sporting book I’ve read where I’ve come away with a lower opinion of the subject; I always had the impression that he rated himself, but somehow got the sense that there was a bit of self-awareness and humility at play too. Not a bit of it though, clearly som...

Speaking of retirements David West has also called it a day.

Have to say, Trump managing to shit all over John McCain was one of the few decent things he's done since he came on the scene. McCain experienced first hand the horrors of war and could have spent the rest of his life as an advocate for soft power, diplomacy and peace. In international relations v...

Poor Mou. He, like everyone, sees Trump getting away with this sort of petulance and belligerence on a daily basis...

Mourinho has been an obnoxious arsehole since long before Trump got into the WH.

For my money Lukaku was the worst player on the pitch in the WC semi v France - certainly the least involved since he had the fewest touches and had no meaningful impact on the game. Also, whilst 40 international goals is in itself a feat when you look at the context, the lions share of those goals ...

Confirmed that Ginobili has called it quits. He was a fiery competitor and a winner who always left it on the court and played with passion. The ultimate teammate who would do anything to help his team win and didn't care about the role he had. He could impact the game in a variety of ways and he wo...

Who would you pick to kick a goal for your life? 2009 Morne Steyn or early 2000s Wilko for me. I am to young/didn't watch enough NH rugby to remember Jenkins in his pomp. Good question, with my life on the line I think I'd go with Neil Jenkins. His goal kicking was instrumental in the Lions winning...

NZ's dominance at international level is easy to explain but the real fascinating one is the degree to which one team dominates the domestic rugby scene to the extent that it does. You would figure that for all NZ's excellence at rugby that the NPC would be shared around but it's been won by Canterb...

They've an election in about 6 weeks. It'll be fun. So, does conventional wisdom assume that the Swedish Democrats (right wing, anti immigration party) support will increase as its been trending for the past twenty years? Since getting 19,000 votes in 1998 their support has more than doubled each s...

Speaking of fixtures, think I heard the commentator say that Man Citys next six fixtures are the six most recently promoted teams.... Really set up for success, they could establish a nice little cushion early in the season.
