No, sir... It's not "The White Way", it's "The Right Way"!

sigh

You knew someone would do it.

And, yes, Carron Phillips, I think I get what you're trying to say on Deadspin today.

Mr. Phillips is claiming that this is the same situation which came about when David Stern forced NBA players to start dressing up and de-ghettoing the league by looking presentable when they are in airports, etc.

I would say, however, that if you believe anti-taunting is playing the game "The White Way", would you then also say that this is an accepted part of the game which is not "The White Way" either?



Or this???


Or THIS?  This was part of EIGHT such penalties on Sunday...




Or, EDIT TO ADD, how could I forget this postgame exchange after a game worth of shit-talking:



Mr. Phillips, it's not "The White Way", it's "The Right Way" -- and it sounds like, if this week is any indication, they're gonna have to go to the college rule and enforce from the spot the taunting starts.

Maybe part of the reason, as you say, "Black joy has always been viewed as criminal." is that a lot of it IS.  Because you let these players (of all races) pop off, and you WILL get Miami-Florida International...

Or is that, as I have to ask many of the dolts as sick of the rule as you are, what you WANT???

SHUT UP AND GET TO YOUR HUDDLE.
