I’m pretty sure Steven Adams isn’t a racist. It’s just that he comes from New Zealand and a different culture where people don’t hang on every word uttered on either Fox or CNN. They actually have lives in New Zealand. I’m not trying to be insensitive, but I’m laughing my ass off on this. In a country which just nominated Donald Trump as a presidential nominee of a major political party, we have some concerned over Steven Adams’ choice of words.
Curry and Thompson do run around like little monkeys out there beyond the three point line. It’s an accurate simile by Steven. Nothing racist, but they do run around like little monkeys out there on the perimeter, especially Curry who is mixed, BTW. Should white people be offended?
I’m a white guy named Michael Jackson who went to John Marshall. I understand cultural nuance. Trust me, I understand racial nuance.
We have way too many people in America with way too much time on their hands who for some reason can’t move forward.
I loved Howard Cosell. Read all his books. He went through the same thing when he said Alvin Garrett of the Redskins was ‘running around like a little monkey out there.’ The same Cosell who stood by then Cassius Clay as he went through his decision to not serve in the Vietnam War. The same Howard Cosell who was an avid advocate of the Jackie Robinson Foundation. That Howard Cosell.
The hair still sucks, but I’ve come to terms with it. Take care of the hand, mate. Let’s go win this thing.
