Black people are better than white people

Because Stephen A. Smith says so, thats why.

or just the quote:

"But honestly, I'm not surprised to learn that so few blacks are among the 30 million people who participate in fantasy sports. I've always thought that a lot of these guys (and 96% of them are guys) are nerds desperately in need of more sociable leisure-time activities. Leisure time for black folks historically consists of direct interaction, the kind of experience you get at a family barbecue or hanging out with friends. Sitting in front of a computer screen pretending to be Bill Parcells? Sounds like work to me."


Whoah... Hold on buddy. Not only is this one of the most closed-minded things i've heard in the last 20 minutes or so, but you've totally missed the point of fantasy football all together. It is a sociable leisure-time activity. We DO have direct interaction, and its better than a FAMILY barbecue because your family is usually fucking annoying if you were to see them every Sunday. (rant about friends: you choose you're friends because you can, you're stuck with family.... ok back to regular rant). We are pretty damn sociable in our fantasy league.

Now... Onto a racist-ish rant.

Mr. Smith was asked to write about why so few black people choose not to play fantasy. (I like how at the end of the article he touches on the socio-economic issue, but its merely and afterthought considering he speaks for every black male in the world)

So, most of the fantasy players are white. This is well known. It's not an 'issue.' If you don't want to play I don't really care. Its the whole 'nerd, need more social activity, comparing it to how black folk are' thing. I really hate how generalizations like this can come from a black man when this can get me in a heap of trouble:

"Most of the players in the NBA are black, and I've always thought of these guys as thugs in need of more education and less guns/drugs/felonies/(insert other generalizations of NBA players)"

More hate on Dallas soon, when there is actually more than meaningless Astro games on.
