First, let me say I love Miles. With that said,,,,,,I think when Miles interviews a potential recruit, he only signs him if the recruit uses words that Miles has to consult his dictionary to get a true meaning. Then Miles writes down his new words and tries to fit them into his media interviews. I wish Miles would just hire a damn speech writer. After Bush left office, I would think there would be a premium. Now that I think about it, Miles reminds me alot of Bush when he speaks. Wait a minute,,,,,,,I don't think I've ever seen them together,,,,,do you think.....nah, impossible. View attachment 13208 View attachment 13209
Wow, the only way the inherent racism in these two posts could be made even more obvious is if you followed up every "compliment" with (for a black guy)....Is it really that hard to believe that an athlete can "verbalize his thoughts" or has a logical "thought pattern"? Everyone knows that "articulate" is just a backhanded compliment given to all black athletes, like Curtis Granderson or Tony Gwynn, who are "smarter than average"....Shake my head at this line of thinking, it's great that Ridley is "well spoken" (another one of those overused phrases), but should it really surprise you that someone is capable of thinking and talking?
I think you are reading too much into it. Nobody said "for a black guy" except you. We've had many athletes of both races who mutter cliches and just don't speak well for themselves or are totally uncomfortable in front of the microphone including our lily-white head coach. So, it's a pleasure when someone like Keiland Williams, who was effusive and articulate, comes along. The reporters flock to them because they are kind of rare. Ridley, Shepard, and Peterson are also well-spoken and will get a lot of interviews. If LSU's most articulate athletes are black and it seems inherently racist to you, you might consider that the team is about 85% black. Is it perhaps just a reflection of team demographics? Or is an 85% black team itself "inherently racist".
i would go as far as to say the majority of college kids would not do well in front of the camera or in front of an audience. for that matter, neither would most adults. sounds easy enough but when the light comes on and a mic gets stuck in your face, or when you know lots of people are watching you, brain freeze tends to set in. so any college kid that comes off as articulate and well spoken in that kind of situation is nice to see.
Man, have you got a chip on your shoulder or what? I would call anybody out if they are in a position to speak to an audience, be recorded, and sound like an uneducated podunk. Take Les Miles for instance. I beat his idiotspeak up all the time and last time I checked, he's a white guy. One of these days (probobly not in my lifetime), guys like you will wake up and realize that all your negativity only perpetuates the racist mentality. I guess that you're either a black guy or a white guy who likes to pretend he's black. But the larger persona that you're portraying (and you don't even know it) is that you are a RACIST. You called out the wrong guy, man. There's very FEW types of people that I detest more than a racist. Next time you read a post here and try to insert your racist views, I would suggest you not make assumptions about the person you're writing about. It's guys like you that will make this world a crappy place to live in until your kind stops having children to perpetuate your flawed view of the nice people around you. Most people judge others on their actions, not on assumptions about their character(kinda sounds like the words of a guy who gave his life to rid the world of racism, huh?). Now, rid your mind of the hate you carry around with you and read my post again. The post is about an athlete, not a black athlete. See Ya
lol at charlie calling out someone about having a chip on their shoulder. anyways, here is low's write up on the spring game.
