    Isn't gambling and handicapping just a form of discrimination?
    When you come right down to it.handicapping is nothing more than an acceptable form of discrimination.Look at how many variables come into play when you decide who to bet on.Sometimes in boxing you will go with the Mexican against the Korean because the Mexican's skull is thicker.In basketball height is a major factor or how many black guys the team has because they can jump higher.You assume athletes that play in the Ivy league are of lesser athletic ability because they focus on academics.You think that Religious schools like Notre Dame and Brigham young are at a disadvantage because they have higher academic and moral standards and will not recruit kids that have a criminal past which means less recruiting in the hood.

    I can go on and on and on about this stuff.Ever hang out at a big sports book in Vegas and hear the reasoning behind gamblers dissmissing the chances of one team over another.It's not for the faint of heart liberal who thinks all things are equal and everyone has the same ability.The funny thing is,allot of these handicappers use discrimination in sports but will go balistic if someone says that a person probably likes watermellon more than another person or is a better athlete because slavery contributed to a person having a more athletic bloodline.

    Maybe the country would be better off if they treated real life like sports handicapping where you can judge books by their covers and not feel like a racist.

    The latest guy in the dog house is dog the bounty hunter.I heard that cow King or Queen Latiffah or whatever her name is spout off allot worse things than that idiot the dog did but the media,politicians and academia just see things so one sided where only certain people pay the consequences for saying idiotic off color remarks.

    I usually always pick the white guy if that's an option. If not I pick whichever black guy looks quicker.

      Well, I would back you up but how do you explain Duke being so good in the past in hoops w/ only that one really ugly black guy on their team?

        Perfect example of discrimination,Nvy at Notre Dame.

        Tell me that saying to yourself this last weekend that you had a hard time handicapping Navy-Notre Dame because you had to decide who was more at a dissadvantage because they buckled under more to morality and discipline.

        Paul Hornung was right a few years back when he showed concern that Notre Dame would become a doormat because they can't recruit less disciplined inner city kids.Then with Navy they have to take in smaller kids that fit in submarines etc.plus having all that rah rah,american patriotism blind faith where football is secondary to them.They really shouldn't even have team sports at the academies because it makes terrorists in foreign lands think that the academies are full of girlie men the way they play.

        If a stud lineman weighing 320# that played for Ohio State showed up to go to school and play ball at a military academy,they would stick him in an emergency ward to lose weight.

        I wish liberals like Hillary would open a sports book where all odds are the same.Patriots -110 playing against the Temple Owls -110.Now there is a sportsbook I could get to like.

          Did Bobby Knight ever recruit a rugged kid he couldn't intimidate?

          Ever see Bobby Knight's teams with kids that looked like they came out of the ghetto where if Knight gave them crap they would kill him?I can't recall ever seeing a guy that looked like he could win an alley fight playing for Knight.They all have soft docile features compared to Tarkanian's guys.
