david beckham and she asked and david packard dot com get the commercial free
podcast audio and video of the bonus you know as well as an archive of our shows
that gets all the way back to other thousand five by the coming into the
package remember could be the packing dot com
slash membership that is the number one way to support the show
it's is uh... it's it's a big big deal as louis very eloquently stated earlier
in the show
yes pian
is now under fire op
for this racist jeremy lin related headline jenny when is this player for
the new basketball player for the new york mixes in making headlines because
he has been doing really well he kind of his only playing because of injuries on
the next
and he's just been tearing up basically lunch ordered perjuring point guard
who is now playing better than anyone can
and after a game where the next did not do well and jeremy lin i guess didn't
have that uh... that great of a game they're winning streak was snapped by
the new orleans hornets
yes ken ran a headline change in the armor now this is of course connected to
that's genuine is is i don't know if now he's he's one of the
you may be the only
chinese high when he's player in the n_b_a_ right now
and of course there was the some very negative uh... feedback that and
e_s_p_n_ has now uh...
they they have fired an employee and suspended in anchor for using what
they're calling offensive in inappropriate comment uncovering jeremy
bohen
uh... now here's the thing
ait was
heard a lot about this
and then at the same time i heard from some people saying you know this is a
little bit hypocritical because here's an example
lives chinese
tiger woods is one fourth of chinese ancestry n_t_s_b_ unused the exact same
headlined they talked about a change in the armor in two thousand nine when
talking about tiger woods
and nobody made an issue of it's simply because tiger woods looks
less engine
then jeremy lin
i guess we do have to say this brings us back to that discussion of
is race just a construct on a sliding scale
why is this much more offensively jeremy lemon tiger woods when they both have
chinese ancestry governor
amino
even if you've if you're in anger for whoever
whoever put up this this title
this headline
if you think
merman trying to say here but this is going to go on notice
not so much of big not not so much on notice but if you think that nobody else
thinks that there's gonna be a problem
you have to be completely insane i mean you you have to assume the even though
you think there might be nothing inherently wrong with saying this
you just have to put you into together and say well okay here's this guy was
blown up he's sees chinese
we probably shouldn't uses because someone might think it's offensive
but that is completely either when a red heads are they didn't care
do you think that i may be what happened is they're just genuinely are arden that
have no preconceived notions about asians and they just didn't even think
about it
i don't know i mean it seems like either these guys
we're very stupid
um... or
uh... pages but they were cracking a funny joke and
you know didn't even think the repercussions which i guess is the same
as the first anant yeah i know it's not that different yeah i think that i i
happily
i think that it it is offensive left
looks say that's what if it is just a play on words that
coincidently relates to
a similar about the the group we're talking about
well so we were talking about a women's basketball team
and let's say that women's basketball team buffet that we'd had only a couple
of lesbians in hypothetically okay
and let's say there's a winning streak involving the the a at a surprisingly
good
third string lesbian who is doing really well because of an injury and all of a
sudden that winning streak streak a snap and the play on words with roseanne is
something like
uh... you know the neck s
are now uh...
are now
hilbert winning streak derailed
winning streak in the day
or something like that right
nobody's going to say
and it's just a play on words they have no preconceived notions about lesbians
it's just funny i think we would be treating it differently for some reason
here summer jumping to say well maybe it's just it's just a play on words were
reading too much into it
two people i think two people got fired so
i mean regardless of what the uh... because of the vote back
india and of course army regardless of what the the public opinion is
uh... even with a little bit of before back from this
uh... d_s_p_ and still
you have made the right move in and had to make this decision so i think
public opinion
conner conner worthless i mean there's gonna be some low back from anything
like this in
you just laws is always happens every time she was out with c_n_n_ the roland
martin verses the data lush story
equally offensive things have different reactions based on on audience blow back
my last on a journey land
after a game i saw him get after that a game winning shaadi made any basically
alluded to wall god made a make a shotgun controlled it
and uh... yeah everytime i hear is is guy it seems very arrogant and he think
that if god exists he is
manipulating the individual shots of individual players
on one particular teen in one movie in one country in one planet in the
universe when this guy is is uh... creating the the universe is amazing
missus and i'm pretty controversial dot
i think a lot of i'd take pity on one of these athletes that are very religious
or at least when they talk about their quote unquote gift they say the invoked
god
and just say like
very few people get to the amount of
and success that they get to as athletes
and prolly is difficult uh... come up with a good reason why it's happened to
you so it's either totally luck
it's just lock
or it's you know it's you're you're the special one you know you were selected
to do this so i can understand even though
what he said it is prettier
partnered up a somewhat involved i mean you have to be in the right place at the
right time
refer these updates obvious it's a lot of hard work to com
i've never been in that position so i've never
had to think about the uh...
component of the well maybe for your guitar skills or something like that i
don't know
you know i'm really not that good that's a lot of work
all right let's so maybe it's because god didn't give you those skills
