Nope. It isn't. She's not told me to shut up to this point, and I didn't realize she had someone else.
I think it's childish when anyone says it.
As for my statement -- that's your opinion.
At least I can give mine without profane language.

Great argument technique. Says a lot.
Just last month, a minority led consortium was able to buy a major league team -- a soccer team -- which is the first.
There have been other well financed consortiums (consortia?) who attempted to buy teams in the past.

Sorry pops, didn't realize this was a debate tournament.
Who said anything about soccer? Soccer is probobly the least expensive out of any major sports franchise to purchase. You made a statement about how the lack of black owners in the NFL should be looked on as a negative.

Yes. It happened in soccer a lot faster than in the "major" sports.
Actually, I've met and talked with Bob Johnson and gave him a tour of the old TCI Digital TV Center.
The point, I think, is that major league sports took decades before any real progress was made toward minority ownership.
At least that's my opinion, which I believe history will confirm.

So to hijack slightly but
DeltAlum- after reading this entire thread, I have to say that I am proud to call you a fellow Ohio University Alum. I might not always agree with you, but you at least try and be respectful of others.
end hijack
As for Tony Dungy, I live in Indianapolis and after seeing the way he handles himself both on and off the football field, I am proud that he is going to be the "face" of the Colts at the SuperBowl. He handled a very difficult situation (the death of his eldest son) in the glare of the spotlight with so much dignity. I don't know much about the Bears coach, but if he is anything like Dungy, the Bears have much to be proud of as well.

Explain how it is a negative. Owning sports franchises is about money.....not being black or white.

This isn't true: Bob Johnson was the actual first minority owner (and sole, at that!) in 2003.
See, the whole thing here, Delt, is that you're speaking in absolutes, and not even in correct ones at that - it's fine to decry the rhetorical strategies of others, but . . . well, you know . . .

Please read the first sentence in the comment below my signature. It's been there for a long time.
Also, although not always, I generally say, "I think," or "In my opinion."
Thanks.

I tell people to "shut up" all the time and did so to 2 people in this thread.
You haven't given me a reason to tell you to "shut up." When you do, I'll tell you to "shut up."
Think of it what you will.

I wouldn't worry about it guys. It's not that effective, considering I'm still talking.
