#247Exactly right.
But they are brilliant for sure.
One of the biggest reasons we don't see many women or blacks in Chess is.... they just aren't interested in it.
But what political correctness often does is they try to "balance" things so the ratio of any given job or class has the "correct" number of blacks, women, etc. This is a very flawed strategy in my opinion.
If I was trying to recruit the top Hexversi players in the world to play on my team I wouldn't give a shit whether they were black or white, or women or men, or anything else for that matter. I would only care about one thing.... are they any good?Comment -

#248It was not played by every team and for every damn game. It was originally played as a sign of patriotism. Today, it’s played as a matter of tradition but zero thought. Today, it is watered down. We have become zombies that can’t think, we just do. They play it too damn much. Why should I have to stand during a grade school talent show? Why should it be played in front of the grocery store?Comment -

#255I hire top professionals for corporations and the big push is to hire more women but not because they are trying to be politically correct but because the women are hands down better than a lot of men. Companies don’t throw money away and they’re not just going to hire someone to fill a quota because they don’t have to. They are hiring the best and it pains me to tell you that women are kicking men’s butts in the workplace. Most senior men feel entitled, stuck in their old ways, not willing to change or reinvent themselves. They can only think one way (just like many at SBR), are not flexible and end up losing money. Then when they are forced out, the first thing they tell me is that the company had to hire a female, so they got fired. Bullshit, that woman was 10x better than you.
One of my all time favorite movies is Moneyball. I realize they spiced it up a bit for the movie but the way Pete(Jonah Hill) calculated value was brilliant. They cut through any and all prejudices. Whether it be race, weight, speed, age, height, or anything else. Pete and Billy Beane(Brad Pitt) mostly only cared about one thing... does he get on base?
I do believe Martin Luther King got it right. But I guess some people have a different interpretation.

#258The anthem was 1st used as a daily precursor to the start of ball games around 1918 as a reminder to those that we are only able to play baseball and jeer/ cheer in this society because of our great military and heritage.
This is why NOBODY understands the stupid kneeling. You're protesting the greatness, wealth and freedom of America, delivered by it's military and those who serve past and present.
You're protesting...but what's your alternative? You wanna see how far your talent to hit a baseball goes in Iraq? Your ability to shoot a basketball in Zimbaubwe or your how many gold chains and diamond earrings you can buy in China?
It's just dumb and naive.
George Floyd would have been executed 20 years ago in China.
That dipshit in Georgia stealing stuff from construction sites would have had his hands sawn off in Saudi Arabia.
But yeah...you got it pretty bad here I guess.Comment -

Obviously I am tuning out as boycott because I don't want them getting ratings or money. Of course it's a drop in the bucket but it's my drop. So basically I still am watching them run around on the field and the little ESPN monkeys in the booth chatter on but I'm not paying them to do it.

funny guys like you and trump have never worn the colors but want to be a patriot. When russia put bounties on their head and trump didn't object he lost their vote. my family has served since the big one until now. Have family in iraq and syria. They aren;t voting for trump. This will be the first time that the military hasn't voted for the repubs.Comment -
