This thread is proof of where sexism/ racism/ and homophobia and overall tolerance comes from. Most of it is learned behavior and people here will definitely contribute to passing such destructive mentalities onto their children.

You know, what's truly pitiful about this? If people would just agree that what Kobe said was wrong this probably would've fallen to the background before it hit page 10.
Instead, some of you are bending over backwards to try and rationalize a stupid, hurtful mistake.
When Kobe was accused of rape and the Eagle County sheriff's office printed up a bunch of racist hangman t-shirts, would you have responded to that by saying, "Ah, rape isn't that big of a deal. Sometimes you just get emotional in the heat of the moment and go too far. Besides, it's really a woman's fault for putting herself in that situation to begin with"?
If you think he was wrongly singled out for getting caught using a slur - fine. Why excuse what he did, though?
Perhaps if you wanted your post displayed you shouldn't have incorporated abbreviated racial slurs.

The reply I removed was no more offensive than the ones you still have up - except that you included racial slurs. You obviously can't produce any other explanation because there is no other explanation. It's a difficult balance to strike, because we want to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable contributing to the site, but we also want to use NikeTalk's diversity to the community's advantage by allowing these types of challenging discussions to take place rather than simply closing the topics and/or banning those who've expressed bigoted and inflammatory positions. However, that doesn't mean that all bets are off and the rules don't apply.
As for the "coward" stuff, why on Earth should I post my picture? Have you? MOST of our members have never posted their pictures on NikeTalk. Who cares? It's not eHarmony.
If you're still mad, you can take it up with my supervisor.
Oh, right... well, in that case you're welcome to take your business to ISS. I hear they have forum where you can post all the racial slurs you want! It's right after the "post your hotwheels collection" threads. Have fun!
