  1. I'd just like to point out that what was actually said was "prison" not "asylum".  Asylum is very much a humorous cliche used often along the lines of "you don't have to be crazy to work here...".

     

    "Inmates running the prison" is a slip that betrays the fact that Mr. McNair considers his employees to be people of a criminal nature.  It's pathetic.

  2. The players are not "inmates".  Theyre highly accomplished and dedicated professionals and should be treated as such.  The comments were extremely disrespectful at a minimum.  It doesn't require some huge leap of logic to interpret them as racially demeaning.  

     

    You get it Buzz.  But you'd rather not cop to it.  Takes you down a narrative you're uncomfortable with.  No huge leap of logic required there either.

    How so?  He used a common phrase used in every day life.  I respect your opinion but this, to me, seems like looking for racism where there is no reason to assume it exists.  One, it is a common phrase.  Two, there are inmates of every color.  Three, I'm not aware of this owner having any type of history that should make us assume racism.  If it was George Preston Marshall, I would say you may have a point.  But you are going to need to back up your assertion a little more to convince me.

     

    Mr. Hopkins has a different point of view than you, Buzz.  And that's to be expected.  Might wanna show a little leeway on this one.
