Non-Sharks Bay Area Sports Thread XXVIII

Warriors had nothing past Steph and Klay tonight. They need at least three guys to show up if they want to play with the Kings.

Even Klay was bad tonight.
Sabonis hasn't had a great series either though, so one has to hope he doesn't have a good Game 7. You do have a good one in Fox though. His quiet demeanor also kinda reminds me of an early KD. Just gotta hope he doesn't eventually turn into a Booker or Ja.

Klay did well enough if any of Poole or Wiggins show up but Wiggins didn’t seem as assertive and Poole played like garbage. Green could’ve done a lot more too.

Fox is a tough player dealing with that fractured finger. It’s surprising he’s still effective.

What a second half!! Looney is a beast. Steph?? Just wow!! Bring on the Lakers!!

Warriors-Lakers gonna be playing every other day. I think the Warriors are unfortunately gonna run out of gas. Not only just the 7 games but the pace of Dubs-KIngs was so damn fast. Whoever made it out was gonna be drained.

Yeah it’ll be a tough series but the short breaks will also hurt Lebron and Day-to-Davis.

Pretty unique occurrence on Saturday's Giant's game. I don't think I've ever seen someone hit a homer, round the bags, get called back for a foul ball on review then smack the next pitch out of the park.

Karlsson not wearing a GSW jersey because he knows he might be about to get out of here. Hertl locked in for life.

Jumbo

 

[WTFetus]

Glad Karlsson was finally able to see a home win.
All it took was 2 chokers to cancel each other out.

Jumbo

Jumbo wearing number 52. I always knew he was a big Matt Irwin guy.

 

[Alaskanice]

Great win!! Boring mop up time. I’ll take it.

A's broadcaster Glen Kuiper suspended indefinitely after on-air racial slur

The longtime A's play-by-play announcer apologized after appearing to accidentally use a slur during a pregame show.

Kuip suspended

He said the word, but I doubt it was intentional at all.

Agree that I don't think he would say that word intentionally on the air, but it wasn't even close to sounding like what it was supposed to be. I think most of the outrage is probably how naturally it came out since that isn't a common slip-up.

It’s a word he probably never says besides in the context of the KC hall of fame. As soon as he botched the first syllable he should have just started over.

Heard this was a prerecorded segment as well. Have to think this could have been easily left off the air if the producers wanted it to.

f***ing rediculous. If I was Kuip I'd give NBCSNCA the finger and find a better job from somewhere that isn't run by a bunch of woke idiots.

There's no excuse to saying that word. It doesn't come out by accident unless it's a word you're used to saying. But why am I not surprised you're defending it.

 

[Bizz]

It doesn't come out by accident

It very clearly did.

 

[WTFetus]

Way to ignore the second part of that quote. He'd likely get more understanding if it was just a flubbed the pronunciation of the word that sounded bad, but he didn't. The two words aren't even close. Soft-i instead of a hard-e? Ending it with an r instead of a hard-o? Again you only accidentally say that word if it's already in your spoken vocabulary.

I'm pretty sure most people aren't even used to saying the word "N*gro". I know I'm not. I don't like or condone the use of either. But therein lies the problem of trying to ban the use of words from the english language entirely, you just end up replacing it with something else that's just as bad and will end up being sought to be removed at some point as well.

edit: censored the word, just in case.

Maybe you’re not because you’re used to saying the other word. For the type of person you are, you’re supposed to believe in accountability yet you look for every excuse in the world to blame the woke which just looks like anything you disagree with. I mean you censoring yourself here is an admission that this sort of thing is not without merit yet you’re still defending even an accidental use of the word. I’m sure you’d be okay with the use of racial slurs on air if you could get a pass for it but that isn’t happening so get with the times or die on the vine.

Me censoring myself has more to do with adhering to the rules of this forum and out of respect for the moderation team than anything else, so let's not go there. I'm not gonna have you bait me into another infraction like you have several times in the past, buddy.
