I miss it when I don’t get a daily dose of wisdom from the “Condom Earring Lady”.

[windsorknot]

Correction: “Tampon Earring Lady”.

I know it's been said may times on the FR but it really bears repeating.

This woman is a clown. How can you not laugh at her. More importantly, how can you take her seriously. These are silly comments by a silly woman on a silly network. It's not like she is taken seriously or has a large viewership.

If the objective is show that she and her ilk are the enemy...well that has been demonstrated and proven over and over again by the likes of the media research center.

[Mr. Jeeves]

And whites should be banned from attending NBA games, watching on TV or purchasing related items.

I'm banning myself right now - I can't take the guilt any more. :)

[Secret Agent Man]

and why wasn’t this an issue brought up before most nba players are blacks?

team owners made a hell of a lot more than white players when the teams were mostly white and nobody complained it was like slavery.

same goes for football andbaseball.

[Secret Agent Man]

i wish i could live like the slave Kobe does.

[Secret Agent Man]

i never heard of slaves being guaranteed tens of millions of dollars a year in voluntary contracts.

[Secret Agent Man]

3% of population committing75% of american murders. thank you black thug youts.

[5thGenTexan]

Then let’s shut down the whole league.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

This delusional dingbat is not quite as full of crap as usual. With the NBA (and NFL) now totally beholden to TV for revenue, the players are essentially reality show stars whose only purpose is to put on a good show for the TV audience. The leagues themselves are enslaved to the networks - which is why all of the PC crap is being forced on them. It’s no longer important to win - it’s important to keep the network suits happy and keep the gravy train running. My guess is that predetermined, scripted outcomes are just around the corner if not already happening. I for one, lost interest in the NBA years ago, and I’m rapidly losing interest in the NFL as well.

[Pharmboy]

These crazy lefties talk into an echo chamber and all of them nod along. There is no natural check on their craziness.

[ealgeone]

This woman’s ignorance is beyond belief.

[ladyjane]

The ultimate aim of this is to remove all white people from any capacity in the NBA"

That's fine. Who in their right mind would want to be involved with these morons.

[xzins]

I don’t think the “Cliven Bundy like slavery rule” applies to MSNBC hosts who don’t need to be chastised for comparing slavery to a multi-million dollar salary. It’s far, far worse to compare slavery to being caught in a cycle of impoverished dependency on government handouts. /sarc

"Harris-Perry: The NBA is Precisely Like Slavery"

Well, if she's referring to Shawn Kemp, she may have a point. He was playing in the NBA way past his prime and then tried to latch on in the European league so he could support his 7 illegitimate children. So would the NBA be his slave masters or the women who became his sperm donors? Not sure....
