Isaiah Thomas condemns the 'H' word

The Daily Redundancy ^

[chordmaster]

NEW YORK, NY - New York Nicks president Isaiah Thomas held a press conference today to officially condemn the word 'ho', particularly when used by a white person. The term, deemed by many to be derogatory towards women, recently helped end the career of radio talk show host Don Imus, when he used it describe the NCAA women's championship basketball team. Thomas says the unrestricted use of derogatory terms towards black women must come to and end...

News Flash - Isaiah Thomas is a “Ho”

[Always Right]

Isiah’s mom probably made him do it.

"particularly when used by a white person"

What b.s. It's just as offensive when used by blacks, the double-standards continue to disgust me. fwiw, I am a "caucasian male" who has never uttered this slang word and never even considered using it. But I never would have heard of it (before Don Imus) had it not been for the prevalence of gutter rap and hip-hop long before Don Imus picked it up from such sources. Rappers, etc. pour this sewage into our popular culture until all kinds of offensive words become widely known and used, and then it's all the fault of WHITE people that such vulgar usage has become popularized? I call b.s.

OK. I’ll just call them whores, then.

Isiah was Magic’s ho.

True story, last week I was sitting in for an attorney whose client was named “Hough.” Not knowing if it was pronounced “Ho” or “How” or “Hugh,” I shouted “Is there a Ho in here?”

Luckily, no one answered.

IIRC, Imus repeated a description of the Rutgers womens NCAA basketball runner up team made by someone else.

Helpless? Hopeless? Heave-ho?

Isaiah Thomas should really focus on running the Knicks, and leave the stupid press conferences to GM’s with better basketball teams. He just might be the worst GM in basketball. Taking over endless giant contracts on washed-up players, has-beens and never-weres is no way to run a basketball team.

Ho--or should it be "hoe"? Sounds like the female counterpart of a rake.

[L.N. Smithee]

It’s not “Isaiah.” It’s “Isiah.” Just like it’s “Dwyane” Wade, not “Dwayne,” “Antawn” Jamison, not “Antwan,” and “Micheal” Ray Richardson, not “Michael.”

Isiah was Magic’s ho.

You must remember this...

Isaiah Thomas should really focus on running the Knicks,

He is focused on running the Knicks. Into the ground.

"Huff", most likely. (Remember MLB knuckleballer Charlie Hough?)

Did Stevie buy the team? That would explain a lot.

Smells like Onion...

But I see there are freepers here, lacking sense of smell.

hey, everybody(!) it's suppossed to be a joke.

I don't see much humor in it, myself.

Does this mean Santa Claus won’t be allowed to laugh anymore?
