I really hope this board has not devolved to the point where outrageous conspiracy theories, with no real evidence to support them, are tolerated. 94, what ‘outrageous conspiracy theories’ are you talking about? That BLM might not have been the most above board charity and that many of the leaders were using the donations to enrich themselves and friends/family members? If so, I wouldn’t call these claims ‘outrageous conspiracy theories.’ It is a fact that one of the leaders bought a $6M mansion that was used for 2 personal events. It is a fact that $800k plus was paid out to a family member for security services who has no background or experience in security. It is a fact that the state of CA is investigating them because they have not filed the required paperwork and their bookkeeping for 2020 and 2021. That major companies, like Amazon, have suspended corporate contributions because of these questionable actions. And several inner city organizations that support black lives initiative’s have complained that they have made requests to BLM for financial support and can’t even get a return phone call. Is this the outrageous conspiracy theory you are talking about? I’m not saying the entire organization is corrupt but don’t think it’s outrageous to question some of its leaders and how the organization has handled the 10’s of millions in $’s they have received. I really have no desire to debate this. People will just go to their little corners and believe whatever the people in those corners want them to believe.

And if facts get in the way of what some people in the other corners believe then they should just be ignored?? Got it!

Seems like you're backing off your claim of 'outrageous conspiracy theories’ (without ever saying what it was) but still implying others might be supporting racist policies. You threw out an unknown incendiary accusation but now you have no desire to discuss it. Interesting. Correct. I expressed that I do not feel that outlandish, non-credible conspiracy theories should be discussed on a college basketball message board AND I have no desire to debate this with people who choose ignorance rather than knowledge. Both of those can be true simultaneously and they are.

Not sure how it flipped to this but these posts have absolutely nothing to do with the non-con schedule

Since when does having a pov opposite of yours constitute having outrageous conspiracy theories? It doesn’t. You are entitled to your views and if in your view, vanilla ice cream is better than chocolate, I’ll disagree but respect your view. But if you’re view is that slavery should still exist, I would say that is an outrageous view that should NOT be respected. Now for clarification, I’m not accusing you waning to bring back slavery….just using that as an example. I think your view on this subject, is just as misguided and misinformed as the example I gave so yes, I think it’s outrageous and based in conspiracy theories, for which I have zero respect or tolerance. Again, you have different opinions than I on ice cream flavor or basketball recruits, we’re all good. But when your view marginalizes other humans….that’s where I draw the line. Good day. Oh now I understand. You're not accusing me of favoring slavery, you're just using that as a benign example of my position. Even simple minds would not have a problem making the connection.Anyone who resorts to such tropes has lost the argument. You'd make a great politician.

Back to the topic two non conference home games and Albany that you have to pay for separately and get different seats. Not much to talk about home wise but the rest of the schedule is great. Who is going to make the trip to Orlando? I'm sure there will be a few

I think 94 has it all figured out 😜. It is so sad when cowards resort to calling people racists. That’s the innuendo. It cowardice and that should not be tolerated. Stop the sanctimonious bullshit 94.

Correct. I expressed that I do not feel that outlandish, non-credible conspiracy theories should be discussed on a college basketball message board AND I have no desire to debate this with people who choose ignorance rather than knowledge. Both of those can be true simultaneously and they are. OK - like I said, throw out the unknown incendiary accusation (implying racism) and then run away. Since you don't have the courage to back up your 'outrageous' claim, we will ignore it like you never even said it - which is what it now sounds like that's what you WISH you did. Wow! Do I need to type slower so that you can understand? I’ll try not to use big words either. I said this type of BS does not belong in this board. I also said I prefer not to argue about it because I know exactly where it will lead (and I was correct). Trying to argue with anyone that has a radical, conspiracy theory view is like trying to argue with a Schizophrenic patient that the voices that he hears are not real. I choose not to engage because it’s pointless. I won’t change your mind and you won’t change mine. So let’s just end this so this board can get back to talking about our new Euro stars!

Carm embraced it because his Players embraced/wanted it. Carm supports his players’ decisions. He wasn’t doing it for ulterior motives. And you know this how? Let's say it was the reason. It still was a wrong one given what we now know about this radical organization.It should be reconsidered. I believe it was in a TU/Gazette article back when the teams were playing in the ARC with no fans during COVID and the team came out in those warm up unis with that phrases on them. Coach said it was a team/players decision. That’s when some season ticket holders/donors got offended and bailed on the team. Carm simply supported the players decisions which then may have lead to his trying to do more and join/promote the thing he’s in now.

I have never understood how so many have misconstrued a movement focused on raising awareness of the challenges that face black Americans into a terrorist organization. I guess I just don't watch the right news sources to be as misinformed as so many
