Tommy Morrison cleared to fight?

yes blue this is true to a point,but in my opinion, they don't hype you because you are white black or whatever. they will hype you if you are the first of your kind usually. there was no big tough power white heavyweight at the time so they hyped tommy. when the klitscho brothers first came about they were hyped cause they were beating down blacks, they were the minority in the sport feel me. there size was worthy of the other athletes that were usually bigger than the white boxers. look at nash or yao in the nba. i think kobe or lebron deserved the mvp last year but nash gets it. i think cause he is a minority in the nba. yes yao is huge and deserved hype but he wasn't that good, he is huge and abnormal for chinese man. so they hype him, its all business. i think leagues are actually some of the best at making races equal. look at tennis, the hype is all over james blake now, not federer. why? cause blake is black like serena and tiger and they are waiting for him to take over the white sport. i really hope i don't sound racist. these are only my opinions. i think its just business, they are not trying to be racist but by singling out certain races they are in a harmless way. i think it is good for kids growing up to see there is no race when it comes to talent. sports bring out talent and heart and you cannot hide them with race. we tried it for years in the states but its over now. they hype athletes that are the first of their kind its easy money for endorsements and promoting leagues. i don't buy into the fact that morrison was hyped more than other fighters that were black, cause no one ever shuts up about jeff lacey the next great american fighter. he is black and got pummeled by the joe calzaghe who is far from black. lacey was easy to market, he looked like tyson, and seemed like he would go far. its business fellas, and race plays into it.

Damn 410 thats excellent posting, dead on bro, amen.

Good post Bruce. Gotta disagree on the Nash thing though. If Kobe ever learns to pass and make stars out of his teammates, and they win, he may be MVP someday. LeBron's unreal talent may just dominate everything one year, but it wasn't last year. Steve Nash is hands down MVP, especially if you listen to the top NBA analysts, white and black. But I agree with the point you made, just not that choice of comparisons. Plus Nash does this in spite of being Canadian. jk

That's always how it seems to be. I think, "I'm going to come off for 6 months" then I think, "I'm 40 yrs old, I need my frickin' test!"

man you gotta throw in some proviron with tren and deca, no wonder the noodle is gone.

proviron is a given - forgot to mention it.
The noodle is back to working fine. Bluetwistedsteel layed to wood to it last night baby!

HELL YEA BLUE, my whole thing with lebron and kobe is if you put them on the suns they win the championship, like i said though that is just an example that is my own opinion

But if you take Nash off the Suns, they probably dont even make the playoffs. That dude is sick with it on the court

nash is an asset and a liability. Asset-makes everyone around him better. liability his defense is TERRIblE. Suns need team D like the Mavs. The lil canuck was worthy of his MVP trophies but a 3rd without a title? thats questionable

I agree with ya on that note... he is arguably the worst defensive player to ever win the MVP. But from an offensive standpoint, he controls the flow of a game like Joe Montana, and he dishes the rock better than Jason Kidd.

I ll say what I want and defend who I want brother. Don't be afraid, don't be PC because that is what you are taught. Mookie or whatever his name is brought up that Tommy is not that good and its only because he's white that he got a shot. Tommy knocked out 41 guys because he's good not because he white. Stand up for what you believe in and be a man.

solid bro.

What if Nash and Nowitzki were never separated.........at this stage of their careers....possible championships.

tru dat especially with Avery johnson coaching. he's a a lil general on the sideline. the only reason the Mavs lost last year is becuz dirk didnt have that fire. Even D wade said that.
