<p>When will this crap stop? Also, since when does money you throw on stage not go to the stripper? I have never thrown money at a stripper than expecting the money back. Hopefully this thug gets kicked out of the league and goes to jail. More than likely he won’t because he is fast and can return punts. Next we will here stuff about his underprivileged background, and lack of a father figure, blah , blah, blah. The coddling of these thug athletes really needs to stop.</p>
<p>There is a subculture that is out of control in this country. Many don’t want to pay attention to it because they are afraid that they will be viewed as racist if they acknowledge the problem.</p>
<p>Las Vegas was out of control this past weekend.</p>
<p>bump. No one comments on it when its not a white person doing it. Not shocked that CGM, scansmom, and the like are not commenting on this story and the basic war zone that Vegas was over the break.</p>
<p>I read a very disturbing article about the scene in Las Vegas during the All Star festivities. Apparently, it was a city under siege. I don’t know much about the position of NBA commissioner, but does he have the power to actually do anything?</p>
<p>“But there were multiple brawls, at least two shootings, more than 350 arrests and a lot of terror in Vegas over the weekend.”</p>
<p>"There were so many fights and so many gangbangers and one parking-lot shootout at the MGM Grand that people literally fled the hotel in fear for their safety. I talked with a woman who moved from the MGM to the Luxor because “I couldn’t take it. I’ll never come back to another All-Star Game.”</p>
<p>There are reports of a brawl between rappers and police at the Wynn Hotel.</p>
<p>Vegas police were simply overwhelmed along The Strip. They were there solely for decoration and to discourage major crimes. Beyond that, they minded their own business.</p>
<p>I was there. Walking The Strip this weekend must be what it feels like to walk the yard at a maximum security prison. You couldn’t relax. You avoided eye contact. The heavy police presence only reminded you of the danger.</p>
<p>Without a full-scale military occupation, New Orleans will not survive All-Star Weekend 2008."</p>
<p>I think many of us here in TN are ready to see Pacman go. My understanding, though, was that the “wrong” stripper was picking up the bills. Pacman has been out of control for a long time and this time it is out of the hands of the Titans. I think he is history.</p>
<p>joev: Offtrack, but do you honestly believe that any CCer who disagrees with you on other issues cannot distinguish between actions that are racist or racially insensitive and those that are just inappropriate??? I have never “excused” inappropriate behavior because of a person’s race - or for any reason. And to suggest that I have perhaps suggests that you have not fully understood comments I have said in the past opposing what I see as other examples of “inappropriate” behavior. </p>
<p>Btw, I admit my ignorance but I do not follow sports much and did not even know who Pacman Jones is (another strike against me I guess).</p>
