OT: Van Gundy destroys Dallas

[HarlemHeat37]

his point is pretty stupid, but not necessarily for the reasons that have already been stated..

The NFL and boxing attracts viewers that are literally cheering for men to hurt other men, myself included..we're all guilty of this..these sports aren't basketball or soccer or baseball where you're watching for the appreciation of the skills and/or the beauty of the game..football is a sport where you can't achieve your goal of scoring without hurting somebody in the process..

It seems silly for people to demand that Hardy be ostracized/blackballed from football(many are asking for this) when the entire point of his profession is to hurt other people..a football player, particularly a defensive player, is crazy and has severe anger problems? wow, that's shocking..

There's a reason White people loved 90s basketball, too, and it wasn't just the presence of Dad Killer.. we miss our goons, we miss watching s hurt each other for our entertainment

Solid point, but its not like only whites enjoyed it, everyone did. Nothing new about nigs throwing each other under the buss, you been doing it since the beginning of time, white man just made it more profitable.

Last time I checked, Latrell Sprewell played for JVG's knicks in his only NBA finals head coaching appearance. Coach chocking is a violent offense as well.

You people are overthinking this. JVG made a simple and true point: it's a little ironic that people would boo an athlete for a relatively innocuous act, simply changing his mind about which team to play for (and not handling it in the best way), when there's another athlete in the same city who has done something far worse. He never said Cowboy fans shouldn't support their team. He wasn't surprised about the booing. He simply disagreed with it.

One has nothing to do with the other. At all. He just wanted to get on his Greg Hardy soapbox and found the first opportunity to awkardly shoehorn it into the broadcast.

Well, they're both athletes that have been disparaged for reprehensible acts...except one is way worse than the other. That's all he was saying. If people are going to show disgust toward an athlete, they should expend their energy on someone who actually deserves it.

And you're a Steelers fan who roots for Rapelisberger....how dare you! Totally relevant.

No one is claiming DeAndre Jordan committed some "reprehensible act" or did anything comparable to beating his wife, they're simply booing someone who ed their team over in free agency. The notion that anyone in Dallas was trying to claim moral high ground is a strawman argument.

As Kim Jong said, JVG's comment was sanctimonious horse meant to appeal to the average re who's heart has been bleeding over domestic violence since the manufactured Ray Rice outrage.
