Hoops Anyone?
From the AP story about the Knicks game last night:
" ... Randolph Morris, who signed with the Knicks last week just days after playing for Kentucky in the NCAA tournament, made his NBA debut with 3:27 left in first quarter. He fit right in with the Knicks, going 1-for-4 from the free throw line. ..."
I love that the guy who wrote this wire story slipped that comment in.
And while we're talking about the Knicks, Michael Ray Richardson: drug user, anti-Semite, homophobe, all-around good guy.
It's funny, because I generally laugh off this kind of flippant anti-Semitism, because I mostly feel like it isn't willful; it just comes from a casual ignorance. And since I truly believe that the kind of lines that we draw are largely social constucts, it just seems counter productive to pay them any attention. It only lends the people that say them an air of seriousness that they don't deserve. But these kinds of comments seem to be surfacing all over the place with all different races, ethnicities and religions. Whether it's Michael Richards striking back at some black hecklers or Tim Hardaway going off on gay people or now Richardson talking about Jews.
When are we going to go after the true enemy? The Danes.
