Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
So?
If Dook wanted quarter, they shouldn't be Dook. JJ deserved everything that happened to him.
The only things more worthless than fans exhibiting "class" are lectures on sportsmanship by an LSU fan.Comment

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
Is this a joke? If not, it's an absolutely absurd statement.
If you want to look at trends of antisemitism, the world is trending towards the better and it's not even debatable.Comment

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
Damn.
We used to call the neighboring school "corn eaters" because they were from a very rural area and make fun of them for being sent to the next lowest classification (AAA to AA), but those Jewish comments are nasty.Originally posted by DaImmaculateONeHow many brothers does Sub-zero running around in his clothing?

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
Let me go further on my comment...
Lower Merion is a high income community. Big houses, lots of owners of businesses and so on. Some are rich. Meanwhile, Upper Darby, while suburb, has alot of "Phillyness" to it. More neighborhood to it. Way more diverse than Lower Merion. It's like an extension to the true suburbs like Media, Swathmore, etc.Comment

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
Have you not taken any history classes that deal with anything about the Jewish people?
Considering they've been driven from just about every country on earth at one point or another and have endured several attempts to exterminate them, I'd say a high school basketball chant is progress (sadly, but progress none the less), not "the world going to hell."
Especially since 65 years ago, Jews actually were being put in ovens. It's an unacceptable chant, but hardly a sign that says something negative about the world given proper historical context.Last edited by Cebby; 12-30-2009, 02:15 PM.Comment

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
pretty much agree with this. The fact that this IS a big deal and the people are being dealt with means progress.Have you not taken any history classes that deal with anything about the Jewish people?

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
First of all, when I used the word "hell" I was speaking in a general sense. Just from the overall lack of respect people have for one another today. It wasn't some religious "prophetic" statement.Have you not taken any history classes that deal with anything about the Jewish people?

Just because those attitudes aren't accepted by society at large do not mean they are extinct. In Europe alone, there are many neo-nazi type organizations.
Those types of words that the crowd used at the game, can lead to terrible actions. Far from "progress" as you stated.Comment

Re: When chanting at a game goes terribly wrong
I am aware of that.
And in the 30s and 40s there were actual Nazis. Not "operate from your parent's bedroom with a swastika flag" Nazis but "we actually kill Jews" Nazis. And even the Nazis weren't anything completely out of the ordinary, as Jews were targeted in the crusades, inquisitions, and were not allowed outside of the western borderlands in Russia.Just because those attitudes aren't accepted by society at large do not mean they are extinct. In Europe alone, there are many neo-nazi type organizations.
No, it's definitely progress. Personally, I'll take a mean chant by a couple dozen high schoolers over state sponsored genocide, forced poverty, and movement restrictions.Those types of words that the crowd used at the game, can lead to terrible actions. Far from "progress" as you stated.
Hell, the fact that this is news and people aren't happy is progress.Comment
