Right...if we only kept segregation, we'd be so much better off.:roll: That's quite a statement to make. I don't usually find a self admitted asshole that longs for the days of segregation, but of course it would come from a conservative. I believe that history is already in on Martin Luther King, and on the KKK and the racist segregationists that you seem to align yourself with. What's it like waking up every day as an out of the closet bigot?:applaud
Yeah, but he looked really good at hitting college kids with basketballs! It's nice those on the Right have a real he-man tough guy they can get behind.
Bolling never defended Rice's behavior. He used it as a springboard to get into another conversation altogether.
However, since you posted the video, it shows the effects of that wussification. If even one of those players had any kind of gonads at all the story would have been "Rutgers coach found duct taped to goat on campus quad"
If by age 18-22 you haven't figured out how to deal with bullies and assholes you're pretty much screwed and DEFINITELY don't belong in high level competitive sports.
I think most children who grew in a single parent household would disagree with that. I believe the opposite - kids who grow up in a mother-only household tend to have to fend for themselves sooner than most.
Or they could not react instead of acting and potentially [probably] losing their way to pay for college.
No, not on network tv.You've never seen The Daily Show and The Colbert Show then?
It's a matter of HOW you react. If you're stupid enough to hit the coach then, again, you don't belong in competitive sports. However, that wouldn't be the only option open to these guys.
The right constantly whines about PC yet complains bitterly about speech that is offensive to Christians. Hypocrits.
Back in the day I'd get "Boys Life" magazine. There would often be articles about identifying wildlife, setting snares and traps, building tip up's for fishing, marksmanship, archery, etc. We'd read the magazine and then go out and try some of the stuff. We had more or less free access to all kinds of hand tools and were expected to build our own forts. Somebody's dad would stop by from time to time to check progress and occasionally offer a little advice and somebody's mom was always available with iodine and band aids (though we tried to get the more gruesome stuff to dad first). We ALWAYS had contests and NOBODY wanted to come in last. We cheated at games and got caught...and paid the price. We figured out ways to get things done effectively and efficiently BECAUSE we failed so often and we were damned proud when we hit that milestone. It taught us integrity and determination and it was like a badge of honor when Mr. so and so would say "Call me Bob" (or whatever) because we knew that we had EARNED that respect.
When I got a little older and got busted coming home hours late and more than a little tipsy the penalty was usually a wake up at the crack of dawn, a greasy breakfast and a full day of hard labor. There might not have been a lot said but I knew that complaining wasn't going to fly and excuses were out of the question. When the day was over, dinner was finished and the dishes were cleaned I may well have been handed a beer which I knew was as much a reminder as it was a reward.
Today I just don't see as much of that. I was talking to a family friend the other day who was complaining about his high schooler slacking off. The kid was more interested in cars and girls than he was in grades. The guy admitted that he was a pushover and he was frustrated when his kid told him "I don't know" or "I don't remember" for every failure. I suggested that he wait until his kid fell asleep and then go out to the driveway, put his kids car up on blocks and hide the wheels. Then, in the morning when his kid noticed he could just shrug and say "I don't know". I'm pretty sure it never happened.
Other options include? They can (and almost assuredly would) lose their scholarship(s) if they retaliated in any way. There are NCAA rules. Also, even if they didn't face NCAA rules, they'd presumably be second-guessed if they attempted to enter the Draft. How about if they applied for a job? The fact that these guys remained level-headed in lieu of these occurrences does speak to their character. It's not about being a "puss." What'd that Jesus-hippie-wuss have to say about turning that other cheek?
And speaking of losers, Mike Rice's Rutgers record is 44-51.
Of course.
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you" is generally good advice....unless you're a steer living on a feed lot. Sometimes active resistance is a better option.
If by age 18-22 you haven't figured out how to deal with bullies and assholes you're pretty much screwed and DEFINITELY don't belong in high level competitive sports.
Then the steer doesn't get fed and it dies. Rational self-interest prevents this, in general.
For a libertarian you have an awfully strange perspective on liberty:lamo
Explain to me how you're trying to tie it in with liberty? You're being awfully idealistic and not pragmatic.

For those who want to see what Eric Bolling is actually defending:
If you're looking for cool headed people, you might want to try a forum dedicated to something like knitting or woodworking.

a nation that tells all its children that they are winners, no matter what, quickly becomes a country full of losers
