--- Quote from: BombFirst on October 20, 2005, 04:22:22 PM --- It's pretty ironic that in the NBA the are forcing players to wear suits and the NFL doesn't allow COACHES to wear suits.
--- End quote ---
It's not ironic at all. Do you even know what the word "ironic" means? There's absolutely nothing about that that's ironic.
To explain it better, let me also point out that Basketball is played indoors on a parquet floor; football is played outdoors on the grass. If you had half a fucking brain, you wouldn't expect a man standing on a grass football field to wear dress shoes, and you can't wear a business suit if you're wearing sneakers.
Indoors, on a waxed wood floor, it's a fucking BRILLIANT idea to have people wear Business Casual attire.

Explain to me what irony is then you fag. And for your information the 49ers coach wanted to wear a suit on the sidelines and they wouldn't allow him.
--- End quote ---
I'm not your fuckin' daddy, go ask your daddy what Irony is.
"Wanted to wear a suit" blah blah blah. IT'S A FUCKING GRASS FIELD. YOU DON'T WEAR A SUIT WHEN YOU WORK ON THE DIRT. Ultimately, it's fucking irrelevant anyways, the NBA and the NFL are two totally different things, owned by two totally different groups of people, with two totally different business models and ideas of what they want their players to represent.

plus with the new dress code, looks better than players dressing up ghetto lol

Most NBA players come from the ghetto. That's what they're used to, they're not trying to change who they are but the NBA is. And the players don't have a problem with dressing up nice but making them wear suits on the plane ride, when they enter the arena, when they're injured and on the bench, during interviews.
--- End quote ---
There's your problem. A Racist Mentality. Just because they're blacks from the ghetto, they can't be expected to dress nice, right? We should expect them to dress like thugs.
They don't have to wear suits. Re-phrase the lies you're spewing on people. they don't have to wear suits. Nobody is required to wear a suit, they're required to wear khakis and a polo shirt. Think about that for a minute. You've got a problem with THAT? When they enter the arena, they're WORKING. When they're on the bus, they're out representing their company, they're WORKING.
If you don't like your job, leave. I agree with that.

I always wear t-shirts and sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in polo shirts and dress shoes, alot of NBA players probably feel the same way. And explain to me how that's a racist mentality.
--- End quote ---
It's racist to say "Oh, Black people don't know how to be comfortable wearing dress clothes" or "They're black, from the ghetto, of course they're going to wear sneakers and jeans".

I already knew what irony meant.
5. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.
You would expect the NFL to allow coaches to wear a suit on the sidelines and the NBA to let the players wear what they want. And the coaches in the 60's and 70's wore suits.

I live in the ghetto and most people wear sneakers and jeans, There are a small percentage that dress up unless it's going to a party.

you have to remember, youre arguing with someone who has the menatality that being dressed in a suit somehow means you are dignified...or respectable. I got braids, wear a du-rag, saggin khakies, chuckz, bandanas.....everything u can imagine. and shit, i guarentee i can break down 90% of the people i see walkin around in business suits in a debate. so its just a closed minded way of thinking yah know?
