I had a fat kid throw an elbow at me during a YMCA pickup game. Even if he connected, I couldn't imagine calling the police over it. What a bitch.
 
We had to have 2 uniformed officers at our final two men’s league games last year bc one wanna be gangsteteam kept trying to fight refs and other teams in the parking lot. People here are so worried about race issues that they wouldn’t just ban them. Last game of the year their team captain went at a ref, was escorted out by teammates and friends yelling about getting a gun. Game suspended. Playoffs suspended. Nocharges and his team played in the next session of the year. Literally anytime they are getting beat they try to fight. The rest of us have to work the next day so......
 
I like this exchange:


Commenter A: “...in the double-shooting sleeve, late-stage Melo getup”

Do NOT compare a guy who sets a pick for a teammate with Carmelo Anthony.

Commenter B: my apologies
 
Dude should have his ass kicked and his membership to the gym revoked.

In one of my AAU basketball games. I had 17 points in the first half and was feeling good. On a inbound play, the opposing team ran a stack play and I was standing behind the defender. The opponent I was guarding threw an elbow and wrecked me in the face.. I cussed the coach out to control his players and the kid. Took 15 minutes to stop the bleeding them came back in the game and scored 15 more points to finish with 32. Told the kid it would take a lot more of clowns like him to keep me out of the game. Point of the story is.. didn’t call the cops after kid broke my nose!

Buddy at work said I’m obsessed with the forums and to let him post something. This is his post. I promised him I wouldn’t delete it.

I had 8 point and 8 turnovers in a junior high game once. Probably the best statline of my competitive basketball days.

Shit like this is why I absolutely refuse to work any type of "league" games. I let my church talk me into doing so for as few Sunday's.

Never again. Mens leagues basketball is ****ing brutal. Littered with guys who think they can still play.

I laughed.......Hey some of these dudes still can play. Its those who cannot that are insufferable. Especially the guy who couldn't guard a chair, but bitches every time you whistle him for a foul. Had a game where I finally just said---"Dude, just play a zone. By yourself. You'll be much better off".

dat and Q have to be disappointed that race played no role in this.
Ha! #1, I don't buy it, and my stance on systemic racism and implicit bias is well established here, not some convenient life preserver for me to cling to right now. #2, I'm quite used to people finding any reason possible to ignore even the possibility that race played any role, so I expect it most of the time. As part of that second one, I don't think you're happy b/c there is no racism present; I think you're happy b/c you have an out for continuing to ignore and deny implicit bias. The sick, twisted corollary to that is that if there were cell phone footage of Phouled Phinneaus dropping racial slurs, you'd be more disappointed that the accumulating examples of frivolous calls to the police would force the conversation about implicit bias than you would be about implicit bias itself.

Hey man. The other cases you mentioned were legit.
