How is he a thug? Racist piece of shite trash


To be fair, a quick google of "Anthony Mason thug" returns plenty of results indicating that his dad was viewed that way by many peeps out there during his playing days. Having that stigma automatically attach to his son is premature and unfair, but his dad did have a certain "Detroit Pistons Bad Boys" way of playing the game that could reasonably lead some to use that tag in a way that has nothing to do with his race.

Personally, I watched a little bit of Antoine Mason in his conference tourney last year and saw him wrestle another player to the ground during a jump ball tie up, and it definitely reminded me of his dad. Whether you call that thuggery is debatable, but if so, I'm one of those who thinks its good to have a little "thug" in your program if it means toughness, defense and competitive spirit.

Or he is typical Alabama trash who assumes that just because a black man is transferring that he did something wrong

Monty is racist piece of trash and that statement is not shocking. He lives in Montgomery...Im sure he still wishes they used the hoses and dogs down there.
