So, if I say that Mike Beasley had advisors/people/handlers (which he did), I'm a (gulp) a "junior racist"?

almost

This is kind a cool then, I mean, if ku people talk about Connor Frankamp's (sp?) dad, if they do it in a certain (cRusty doesn't like it) kind of way, we can call them almost junior racists. Awesome

Everyone calls Connor Frankamp's dad a "dad". Same with Will Spradling's dad.

White Athlete = Family/Friends
Black Athlete = People/Handlers

How is that not racist?

Is Melvin Foster telling his son he needs to play PG to get to the league? I didn't realize we had another Shannon spradling on our hands.

I don't think Marcus has a "family/friends/people/handler" issue. I do believe people this summer told him he needs to develop more as a "point guard" to have a shot at the league. But I don't really think that is an issue either. I don't think the people around Foster will push for a transfer either, I have some hope for him staying around.

His game this season resembles Tre Harris with more shot usage, so maybe we should put to rest the his "parents/handlers/scouts/friends/extended family" encouraged him to become a point guard to make the league narrative.

Yeah, I think he'll stick around as well. He seems like a pretty good kid getting good advice from family and his high school/AAU coach. Tucks are probably not going to be thrilled when he comes back, and it will be tough for them to give him his due if he plays well next year.

I think he will play well next year if we get out in transition more, I think that has really hurt Fosters game. Foster has shot more threes this year and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Now, since coming back he has pressed a little bit and had some poor shot selectoin. Big issue is that last year is he attempted 100 more 2fgs this year.

If Foster didn't have the suspension, I don't think everyone (tucks) would be overreacting to his play.

Handlers is used a lot in politics, that doesn't detract from larger point

stunted · « **Reply #1316 on:** March 05, 2015, 10:40:14 PM »

Handlers has a negative connotation but people who assist black athletes are going to be more value-taking than value-giving compared to handlers of white athletes. Also on average going to be less intelligent. Funny how people get so offended by how things are termed and the need for everything to be equal. Stereotypes exist for a reason. It's no coincidence I've been in 3 minor car accidents (barely missing another one).

Curtis Malone, non-family non-friend, but don't you dare call him handler.

Oh hi, my name is Brian Butler. I am not a handler you rough ridin' jv racist. For legal reasons you may also not refer to me as agent or broker. I'm a non-family, non-friend, mentor-type with a profit motive.
