No one is even remotely comparing anything you said to a racial slur. You have posted for a few years and you have never come across as racist. That guy was wrong for assuming it was racist. I feel you were assuming Tony was in the wrong about something when you nor I know what he was actually saying. That is the only thing similar. I am dropping it because it is not the biggest deal and I do not feel Tony never does anything wrong. But I am sick and tired of coaches and players being disrespectful to the game and acting like idiots. I saw enough of it out of our stupid new HS coach who abandoned his team after we lost after one of the best seasons ever and showed his azz. Unlike Tony, I KNOW what he said. Go Vols!My problem is the continued misrepresentation of what I said, but go ahead. You can disagree with my opinion, that's fine. But if you fail to understand my perspective and continue to misrepresent it, I'm going to defend myself.
You and Jacket are trying to tell me I was taking a stance on what was said by Tony, and I wasn't. I don't know what Tony said and my perspective isn't based on that. Idk how many times I have to repeat that before it's clear. My statement was based on what was clearly observed then CONFIRMED by Tony himself. If you want to disagree with my actual stance (that athletes shouldn't run their mouths at opposing coaches and coaches shouldn't do the same to opposing players) then I will drop it, because that's okay to disagree on that.
But I won't drop it if my actual statements are misrepresented and I'm compared to a guy who made up a rumor about racial slurs being said for attention.
I just have a bad feeling about it given Malnati’s interview yesterday and then the parents’ statement today. In Malnati’s interview yesterday, he talked a good bit about how competitive all those guys are and how badly they want to beat each other. Then, Grayson’s parents’ statement today talked about being kind to one another. Both of those things could be nothing, but given the way Malnati broke down in tears, I’m worried about him.I hope not too.....It's never the "big things" that sets it off..........it's the "broken shoelace"
