Maybe racial wasnt the right word to use, Im only trying to give a point of view from this side of the color spectrum most times. Since alot of times we're talking about athletes that share the same skin tone as I do. I wont be doing that anymore, didnt know it was offensive. Im not saying other races arent raised by mothers Im only saying most blacks are raised by ONLY mothers in a single parent household. I guess I should've made that more clear. I guess I should change my avatar to a picture of Al Sharpton or something sheesh! :whistle:

Thanks man! I still havent mastered the art of thinking before typing LOL

I like what Chris Carter said that he loves his mom, she tried her best, but there are some things that she did wrong. Im not trying to go :offtopic: here and I tend to always go racial but hear me out. In the African American community most men are raised by their mothers. (I bring up race beacuse AP is black, Im black, and so is most of the NFL) We are told early and often "what momma says goes" or "Im the mother you're the child." As long as I can remember it was drilled into me do not question my mother. If you're bought up getting spankings or whoopins you think it's normal. As weird as it may sound my mom would whoop me with a switch and 2 mins later clean me up and tell me she was only doing it out of love. Or my favorite one was "Im whooping you now so the police wont have the chance to do so later." I dont know AP but Im 98% sure he thinks he's doing his duties as a dad by disciplining, but he went too damn far. Sorry for rambling but Im gald CC said what he did, moms are wrong sometimes. Maybe this will start a much needed conversation about the subject not just in the black community but everywhere.

Payday!

Nope I hadnt seen the pictures. Im not saying what AP did was right but after seeing these pictures I think he went too far. The prinipal Im speaking of would use his hand on kids backsides over the clothes, nothing like this. Idont spank my kids so I'll be damned if someone else does.

Times sure have changed, the principal in my elementary school used to put kids over his knee.

You're right my bad. :doh:

The video of some person robbing a store turns out was not Brown, it was a tactic the police used to try to sully the kids name. The store owners were quoted saying they never laid eyes on Brown. Several people have stated from the very beginning the kid was not charging the cop and had his hands up when killed. Two contractors working in the area saw the whole thing and have recently come out and said the same thing. I dont know how but there is video of the contractors reacting to the shooting. The video is below in the link pleae feel free. But Im just saying a man is locked up for spanking his child and a man is free after murdering someone in cold blood.

Ok from someone here who has been spanked as a child, I hate to say but it's a cultural thing. I've been "spanked with belts, wooden spoons, extension cords, and of course switches. There were times I was even made to go outside to the tree and pick out my own switch. I knew damn well not to come back with some wimpy thing because my mother would've gone outside and came back with the tree to beat me with. I really believe AP is only doing what has been done to him..........the whole spare the rod spoil the child thing. It's a cycle that I am trying to break with my own children. How can I tell them not to hit if I hit or spank them? My oldest son is 3 so he's able to understand the whole timeout thing and we take the iPad and other stuff away and that REALLY pisses him off lol. To call what AP did child abuse is taking it way too far. AP is in jail for spanking his child but the cop who KILLED Mike Brown is a free man? Somethings wrong with that. EDIT - I just read the kid is only 4 years old. If that's the case then yeah he wet too far. Not sure he needs to be in jail but a 4 year old is too small to be hitting with switches.

Done :banana:

After the new NFL drug policy is announced today it is expected that Josh Gordon's suspension will be reduced to 8 games. This is according to Adam Schefter via twitter not long ago.

For the fun of it maybe? We come hear to [U]talk [/U]about golf, best believe if golf is on TV somewhere Im gonna watch it.

Im in and I agree it would have to be uncensored. As a matter of fact throw Barkley in there also.
