I blame SA's conservatism for the Spurs' roster

[spurs1990]

Although I've never lived there and have only set foot in the city a handful of times, I'm aware San Antone is the most politically conservative of the big Texas cities.

I feel the mood has prevented the Spurs from going after solid players due to them not measuring up to the "values" the organization trumpets. Going back to the late 90's, there was Sprewell, and then not going after Artest, and letting SJax take off, not looking at Vince Carter, and probably now bypassing Marbury. Not to mention the drafts consisting of projects and longshot oversea players.

Point is that it's all catching up and hell yes we've got 15 solid citizens on the roster, a great bunch of guys to be sure - only collectively they're subpar to be kind. There's no reason even without Ginobili and Parker, should this team be struggling to win 2 games with a still elite Duncan anchoring the middle.

Its unique to San Antone is comparison to all other franchises, and the character over contribution mantra needs to be revisited if the Spurs wish to remain in the top tier of the league going forward.

Will Holt, Buford, and Pop concede the point?

[ChumpDumper]

No, they won't.

It's not a real issue.

[Tully365]

How is drafting a French rapper, an Argentine who lit up the Italian League, and a black guy from the Virgin Islands who's married to a white woman conservative?

[byrontx]

San Antonio is not the most conservative large city in Texas. That prize would go to Houston-home of the neo-con movement.

In small cities-just a little north of SA is New Braunfels in Comal county; 93% of the registered voters are Republican. They have never acknowledged that they owe the existence of their precious springs to a bunch of Democrats in the Sierra Club. The election has stunned the shit out of them.

All that aside everyone, liberal or conservative, in SA and the surrounding areas loves the Spurs.

It seems like a lot of the franchises in the NBA are trying to emulate the Spurs. Holt & Co. have a winning formula.

[fyatuk]

Uh what?

That's what I was thinking. SA is pretty liberal as far as Texas goes (obviously significantly less so than Austin and a few other hot spots), and rather middle of the road overall as far as I've seen.

[Extra Stout]

If only SA shared the progressive values of Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, or Orlando, the Spurs would have won seven championships.

[johnsmith]

Last I checked, SA is full of those one things from south of the border........you know, Mexicans. And if I know anything it's that Mexicans love there fruit cups sold on corners, their bars put on windows, their candy to be all fucked up and weird looking, their tripe to be served in a fucked up salty soup, their women to be enormous, their buffets to be plentiful, their downtown to be good and dirty,and their politicians to be liberal.

Why do I get the sneaky suspection that you'd not even mutter these words to an actual Mexican person in real life, face to face.

Then you didn't stay long enough. No way is SA the most conservative.

lol. "An actual Mexican" as if they are all menacing figures who would not stand for it :rollin


A lot of Mexicans are actually pretty conservative and would benefit from such policies. If it weren't for the stereotype the libtards have brainwashed people into thinking all are racists.

Racists because they won't give them handouts in return for votes.

Obama carried Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and El Paso. What major Texas city did he not carry?

Bitch please. You know how many of these guys I've worked around. They're all pussycats and many, many, many of them are my very good friends who yes, I indeed do say the same thing to them in person. Just because you're a little bitch that is scared of a particular race doesn't mean you have to project your insecurities towards me.



Now tell me when the next Chili's is opening in SA you little bitch.

I had Menudo for lunch. I love that stuff. :hungry:

I just don't get it. Maybe I've never had it prepared correctly. I wonder if they'll ever open up something on the north end that makes good menudo...........Buddy Holly, let me know when they're going to open up a place would ya.

This is an objective generalization in your view? There are no negative insinuations hiding in there?

So I suppose if you read a French person's post summing up Americans as obese, television-watching, Nascar fanatics who are annoyed by people who are multi-lingual, that you would calmly declare that he is simply "summing up a group's general tendencies," and that there was no insult intended?

You say stupid, borderline racist shit to your friends, big whoop.

Do you also tell them dick jokes? Now that would be crazy!



Just because you're a little bitch that is scared of a particular race doesn't mean you have to project your insecurities towards me.

First off, Mexican isn't a race you moron, it's a nationality. Second, I'm half Hispanic/Spanish. Why the fuck would I be scared Mexicans or the Hispanic race?

For shits sake, my sister's boyfriend (who's half Mexican and half Asian) has family members in the Mexican Mafia. I've been to birthday parties with those guys. :lol



Now tell me when the next Chili's is opening in SA you little bitch.

When you grow a set of balls in that area you and your mother call your lady parts. :lmao

Do you also tell them dick jokes? Now that would be crazy!

Why would I do that?



First off, Mexican isn't a race you moron, it's a nationality. Second, I'm half Hispanic/Spanish. Why the fuck would I be scared Mexicans or the Hispanic race?

You're projecting. I'm sure there are black guys afraid of black guys, and mexican's afraid of mexican's. It's cool, you're scared.


For shits sake, my sister's boyfriend (who's half Mexican and half Asian) has family members in the Mexican Mafia. I've been to birthday parties with those guys. :lol

:lol Sure they are dude. Aren't you also the guy that got caught lying on spurstalk by taking credit for someone elses photos? I'm sure they are in the "mexican mafia".:lol




When you grow a set of balls in that area you and your mother call your lady parts. :lmao


And can you tell me how I should go about doing that? Should I come on here and lie to everyone the way you do? Or better yet, should I come on here and be a condescending assclown the way you do it? Or maybe I can come on here and talk about all of my "mafia" friends.

When "big whoop" is something only women and gay guys say then you can go SNL Weekend Update on me.




Why would I do that?


Flew right over your head, huh?




You're projecting. I'm sure there are black guys afraid of black guys, and mexican's afraid of mexican's. It's cool, you're scared.

Projecting? Projecting what you clown? I'm half Spanish, not Mexican but again, I have no problem with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Spanish etc etc.

Though I will again ask one more time, what am I projecting?

Because I call you out on all the stupid BS you spew with pure anonymity on an internet forum I'm somehow projecting a dislike towards Mexicans or Hispanics?



:lol Sure they are dude. Aren't you also the guy that got caught lying on spurstalk by taking credit for someone elses photos? I'm sure they are in the "mexican mafia".:lol

Or Kori can just come in here and own you again like she does time after time. And if you manage not to have killed yourself or your parents in the other room we'll finally know that JohnSmith is no longer the little pussy he's always been. Maybe then you'll also stop talking like a Jerry Springer guest.

When "big whoop" is something only women and gay guys say then you can go SNL Weekend Update on me.

"big whoop" is certainly something my 4 year old nephew and cartoon characters say all the time (which is essentially what your persona on this website has become, a cartoon character).

What is it you do again? Oh right, you spew BS with pure anonymity on an internet forum, and get caught lying while doing it.

It's, "I COULDN'T" care less. If you could care less, then I guess you do care a bit. I hate people that can't use cliche's correctly.

Just like you to try and "team" up with someone because you are too much of a little bitch to do it on your own. And I certainly see the irony of saying that I talk like a Jerry Springer guest right after stating this, "...and if you manage to not have killed yourself or your parents in the other room we'll finally know that johnsmith is no longer the little pussy he's always been".

However, when speaking in public, there is no evidence if an apostrophe is used correctly or not. Which is unlike saying out loud, "I could care less". Then everyone knows you are an idiot.

[Buddy Holly]

The fact that you, johnsmith, can't see past your "I'm too cool for my own good because I'm cynical and non-pc" exterior that what you said was offensive is why people hate you. It's the embodiment of your entire work here at spurstalk.

Your point was that Hispanics (though your chose to just limit that to just Mexicans) tend to not be conservative but instead of just saying that, you went the extra mile of tacking on a bunch of generalized bullshit to keep up with your own status quo.

The dipshit that doesn't care that he's a dipshit. Good for you, I bet it gets you laid a lot on Second Life or where ever you tend to spend your time on the computer making yourself feel better about the depressing life you lead.
