Wrong? I'm confused why you ask me what's wrong with it when I never said it was wrong. Morality had nothing to do with what I initially said that began the convo.[/quote]
Uh if you have a problem with the Balls being on RAW ,there must be something wrong with it? Unless you just like being a contrarian.

You did say clown *** foolishness. That sounds like you see something wrong with the action.[/quote]Sounds like?
So ask questions to get a more clear idea so you can be more sure of what it is instead of what it sounds like, which essentially means how YOU interpret it.

That Bleacher report video of lavar talking about his family while cooking them breakfast changed my whole perception of him
Let him live, he's a great father

I would rather see Lavar doing this type of promotion work then the media trying to give stupid questions to Lavar to answer just to get a sound bite.

If you criticize the actions of a man (your words not mine) it's because you see something wrong in the original action or you believe you have a better way of executing said action. But ok I'll play along with you. What makes this clown *** foolishness worthy of critique?

It's wrong to kill innocent people.
It's wrong to molest kids.
Wrong is a word used in morality.
This is not a question of morality. Right and wrong should not be used, and weren't used by me.
I don't like eggs on ketchup. That doesn't mean people who put eggs on ketchup are wrong, or that it's wrong to put eggs on ketchup. I don't like it. That's what it means.

LOL you sound silly. Right or wrong isn't always mortality. If Russy shoots a 30 foot 3 with 18 on the shot clock when he has an open teammate he's wrong. Doesn't make him bad morally. What is you saying? lol

Somebody posted the video, you say it's clown ****. How else is somebody supposed to interpret that? You stay saying people take stuff the wrong way or misinterpret what you say it's not that hard to make clear your point from the get go. We can't read your mind plus we've all seen what you've had to say in regards to Lavar previously.

But I have to table this pet peeve because he's black and folks like Mamba MVP are going to spin it like it's because he's black?
Nah.

Fair enough you don't like "attention seeking" individuals.
I don't think it's the case that they are being attention seeking with being offered to do a wrestling promotion and actually doing it, but that's your opinion.

Tell you what: I'll try to clear, you worry about asking more questions and assuming less.
(Interesting, though, that when I write out a lengthy response to avoid any possible confusion, folks like yourself mock it as being a short novel. Just can't let us be.

Lavar.
And it was someone in here that brought up a point that if my issue is completely with Lavar )and it is), then I should be good with Zo (and I'm starting to settle in with him based on that realization).
And I don't even have a problem with Lavar. I think he's a great father and has obviously raised 3 awesome kids, one of them being one of the best athletes in the world coming into the league with his own brand. I'm with every bit of that.

Nah.[/quote]I'm not saying anything about it being black. Clown *** foolishness is a harsh critique for someone making humor at a wrestling event but it's cause you don't like attention seeking. Doesn't really make sense cause that's essentially what a sports entertainment league like the WWE is. You could say it's corny or not funny. But you called it foolish and clown behavior. I don't know how you can't see why people might think it's a deeper rooted issue. But that's just how you are I guess and old dogs usually don't change their tricks. Respect the consistency.

No not never.
"It is what it is" applies to what actually is, not what you interpret. "It is what I interpret" is not how the phrase goes.

[quote name="eddiengambino"]Then why don't you like it? I'm really curious. What makes Lavar and Gronk clowns for being on a wrestling show?[/quote] Right off the bat, I can't stand wrestling. Never have. The first time I ever saw wrestling was Hulk Hogan when I was a kid, and my first thoughts were "This is effing ridiculous. They're getting paid for this? And people believe this? Like people really think that this... I hate people. This is stupid."
Second, like I said in a previous response, attention-seeking has always been one of my pet peeves.

[quote name="ScottHallWithAPick"]I don't know how you can't see why people might think it's a deeper rooted issue. [/quote]Oh, I totally see why: assumptions.
I guarantee not one person who has followed me for even a short period of time in all my years on here thinks that the problem I have with Lavar is because I'm scared of a black man succeeding or I don't want a black man in the spotlight or any of that ridiculous dialogue.
But people are more quick to assume then they are to clarify. I've been known that. I never said 'I don't understand how you guys can be thinking this.'
Assumptions. That's how.
And that's exactly why I'm fielding all these responses, to break down those assumptions.

Again in case you missed the very first sentence I wrote I'm not talking about Lavar being black. You just seem to have a distaste for him that seemed more than just "How dare he go on Raw and act like a wrestler." I just wanted to know more. Could be cause he's black. Or could just be how you are. I'm learning it's just how you are. I disagree cause I don't like when people feel entitled to how someone expresses themselves when it isn't violent or detrimental or hurtful to another person (and even that has loopholes in games of competition like basketball). But you have your own opinions I just didn't understand the root of them.

[quote name="ScottHallWithAPick"]I'm learning it's just how you are. I disagree cause I don't like when people feel entitled to how someone expresses themselves when it isn't violent or detrimental or hurtful to another person[/quote]Thing is, I'm the same way.
But if that's just how I am and it's not detrimental or hurtful to another person, isn't your disagreement an entitlement to how someone expresses themselves when it isn't violent or detrimental?
I'm not telling him what he should do. I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm not even saying he's a bad father. I'm saying I don't like the sideshow, and me not liking it hurts the same amount of people his act is hurting: none.
