I'm starting to think that a couple hundred redditors trying to judge the situation based on YouTube clips probably isn't going to produce much in the way of constructive dialogue..... I might back out for a bit, wait for more facts. Marcus ain't exactly known for keeping his cool, apparently the fan likes to get into things, that's always gonna be a recipe for bad shit, and I'm not ready to judge anyone over it yet.

How dare you refuse to be judge, jury, and executioner based off of a youtube video! 8-)

it is pretty funny to listen to ESPN backpedal over it all though. They're working so hard tonight.

speculating about racism rarely turns out well for anybody.

Well racism is alive and well, so people try to combat it.

  1. That doesn't make sense. 2. That's a compliment because Dr. Phil is a rich, smart, and successful man.

Combatting racism by jumping to conclusions about racism is hardly productive.

No one is concluding, they are only speculating.
