I am not saying being anti-woke is racist. I’m saying learn the roots of the term. Historically it’s a positive thing in the black community so being against it could be perceived as. You know. It’s the same with all the folks who scream about globalists without realizing it has its roots in anti-Semitism as espoused by the Third Reich Put it this way. The klan is def anti woke/anti-globalists my point is that words matter and certain fringe elements of our society are very pleased with the mainstreaming of their terminology. Let’s educate our selves in the history before perpetuating their anger.

The origin of woke was in the black community in the 30s and 40s to promote social awareness. The use it as a negative is racist. That’s it. Now back to sports. Contextually and historically speaking it’s not much different than using a certain other word that many people should not use because it’s not their cultural prerogative. Do I think some things have gone too far. Sure. But it’s far worse to offend someone deliberately than to be easily offended. Ok. Now really back to sports.

Please take politics off this board. And go read on the history of the word woke and what it really means before you throw it around like a slur. -
A bit? JUC had the mobility of a lawn jockey.

ualbany mbb 2022 - 2023 MBB Schedule
BestDaneSinceHamlet replied to cwdickens's topic in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track
Two D3 games? Plus the other high level stuff? What an odd schedule. Assuming it has to do with the arena issue? -
Sibley doing what he's doing tonight with that paper window of a offensive line is pretty incredible.

The offensive line is woeful. Can you imagine JUC with that line? He'd have been sacked 10 times.

Yes, they are getting killed but they are doing some things on both sides of the ball. Poffy reminds me of Tom Flacco in a good way. Hicks is legit and the defense has made some nice plays. Yes, they are insaney undisciplined but this is not an untalented team.

This is a fantastic schedule if you're trying to raise the profile of the program. Have we ever had this "money games" a schedule? -
In other news, Jared Verse had a sack in their first game this season and was called out in some national ACC thing I was looking at.

Please stop fighting. This is absurd. We are all on the same side. I'm sick of people arguing about dumb $iena. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Stop eating our own. -
That explains why they are making the bleachers out of papier mache.
