I’ve remained mostly silent about this for years laying low trying to be “tolerant” of you guys but goddammit you guys are fukking awful and SBR mgmt does very little to manage the hatred around here. However they are in a bind, because if they start moving all your racist bullshit to the saloon then players talk will be empty. I think they’ve been way too easy on you dicks. They’ve said they won’t tolerate racism but I see it every single day.

When I came here I mostly posted in the subforums. Shit seemed pretty cool. I enjoyed talking to folks from all backgrounds. When I gravitated towards players talk I couldn’t believe the racism towards black folks around here. I hoped it would change. I see now that it won’t. There’s good guys here but this seems to be the KKK of sports betting forums. Unbelievable that it’s allowed.

You guys let idiots like jibbby make dumb racist post after dumb racist post. Your mascot jjgold makes the worst racist posts of all. 90% of the rest of your members post racist shit every single day. It’s a fukking joke.

I feel like I can still get some fun/productive talk here but it is wildly overshadowed with hate and I think I’m about done coming around here. I’ve been a member for 11+ years and this is what it’s coming to. It really is sad

I'm also considering it. I have reported posts of racism and the same people who post them are not put on time out or posts removed.

SBR needs to make a decision or shut the place down. It's embarrassing.

pavy

did you report GnG ?

[tecmoslayer]

Move "Players Talk" and "The Saloon" to the bottom of the forum page so we don't have to see these hate speech topics first thing when we log on to SBR EVERY SINGLE DAY.

[jjgold]

No sports

Have to have them

the biggest HATE SPEECH on sbr is that illini and jjgold continue making a mockery of christianity for years and years and years

today again there's a post mocking people's religious beliefs, that to me is way more unacceptable than anything about someone's race

[od120731]

It's rampant everywhere, not just on this forum unfortunately

I converted to Christianity 5 years ago. I don't know what mockery you speak of. Possibly what and how I say things you don't understand my point clearly. I am looking into becoming a Priest. What is unacceptable to you may not be unacceptable to everyone else. It is what makes America the best Country in the world. We have freedom of speech and can say and do what we want. Someone's race, someone's religion, someone's favorite sports team is all the same to me. There is no difference. May God Bless you and your opinion. Stay safe during these trying times.

With all due respect Pavy.

Your reports ALL get looked at. Every single one. Whether you are aware or not posts are deleted or warnings given regularly (I see a guy above claiming there was nothing done about Brock's video still as an example). But to be frank, most of your reports fall into the "I demand you censor this opinion I do not like" category.

Do you recall your last report about 12 hours ago? That is a classic example. Someone made a rude and ignorant statement about how much blacks have been given and still got nowhere.

I don't like that post and also don't agree with it. But if that is the bar you are demanding SBR meets as far as censorship I think you need to sit back and think again what you are really asking for.

[Chi_archie]

I think we all need to start reporting all of Pavysnitchers posts everyday

Disagree, SBR should've just kept PT as it was prior to Covid-19. Just because there wasn't major sports showed the lacked of depth some posters have. Hardly any discussions about how to implement return to playing for NBA and NHL. Should they finish all the games or start with playoffs and what format to use, etc. Nope, just let idiots make loaded statements or create pointless threads like "how to start a band." Oh wait, that was before covid-19. Umm, never mind... Lol

you don't see how that nonsense is condescending and insulting? i'm atheist and i have still found it unfunny and offensive

You are really living up to the Greeks are fukkin pusssies stereotype

[carolinakid]

i wonder what the cry would be if we had a all white network today, but yet there is a all black network again it does not go both ways today.....

Facebook has plenty of discord. Tremendous amount of people are fighting against the bullshit going on.

I love comedy threads like this

I do pay $1,400 for each time I get baptized. What is the problem ? I am a part of a new found cult as well. Maybe you aren’t aware of certain beliefs of people.

[carolinakid]

the thing im getting out of all the protests the last week, it just give the young black thugs more reason now to rob, kill and cause trouble down the road with their hate.

JJ, do you mind if I ask you to say a few words during prayer on Sunday? If you don’t feel comfortable just let me know.

Law enforcement thugs had their fun too.

I've always operated with the mindset of a PT thread, albeit non-sports related, stays in PT from that morning until I log off at night if people are engaging with it and then it gets shifted to the Saloon. During this wacked out time if we'd gone with that we really wouldn't have many threads at all in PT and would've had to deal with that many more people whinging about their threads being moved so I shifted and now go with: Seaweed's threads all get binned, Lakerboy's bitching about how shit we are as SBR employees is debatable and I'll leave them for a bit as I like the guy but another staff member usually shifts them before I even get a chance and now all other Trump, Floyd, really blatant non-sport stuff is getting moved either to Politics or to the Saloon. Sometimes before I even log on and that's cool too!

Everyone needs to remember that JJ works here so reporting him, bitching about him, etc isn't really going to go anywhere. I've given him infractions in the past just as a way of telling him privately to rein it in but he isn't being sacked nor are his standards of behaviour similar to the rest of ours as posters. That's just the way it is and as a private company that's totally acceptable so please no more complaints if possible.

Stay safe everyone - we're gearing up for the second wave of Covid here while you guys are dealing with so much shit it's unbelievable... fingers crossed we all get through ok and much love to that man in Buffalo. And as always PM me if you don't want to talk about something publicly

We can do that Illini

Thank You

[zam77]

Wtf the best part about this place is it’s lack of censorship. The way it should be. Free to speak our minds here is what makes it awesome. Start censoring like what hooper is looking for and we’ve lost one of the only good sites left on the net.

true, that was my point, we can have a civil discussion about things we disagree with (or are offended by)... illini can double down and make himself look even worse... but we don't have to leave the forum or report posts about it

and you can continue to be a condescending prick too, that's what makes sbr great! i can go back and read posts like yours and think "my god he has nothing better to do than try to argue and aggravate someone!"

join the stock thread instead, we are killing it and feeding it to the tigers like carole baskin

[Foxx]

Maybe SBR could consider giving Texhooper the new Civil Rights Moderator position. It seems like he might be up to the task.
