Bill Simmons is a putz but the brother is a fucking drama queen. I'd hate Simmons if he loved dreads. Dude needs to get the sand out of his vag and stop stressing over his hair. Sounds like a bitch
Over the line?

Rosa Parks didn't do what she did so that in 2013 a Black man would get shit abouthis hair!

Simmons : Millen : : Sark : Ty
I support Dreads, but if you are a black man wearing cornrows in 2013, you deserve every bit of ball busting you get.
BTW, I love Simmons, and think we need more guys like him on broadcasts. He's not a cunt who thinks you had to play or coach to know what the fuck you are talking about: (see Doc Rivers feud).
I had a black friend who grew dreads who firmly believed that washing his hair would hinder the growth of his dreads. Simmons may not have knew what the fuck he was talking about, but to make it a race issue is something Al Sharpton would do. He's misinformed (like I was), not racist.

In defense of this article, it basically says exactly that. (I understand RuebenPatterson's headline is a different story)
Let's set the record straight though, I am not angry at you, Bill. I was actually embarrassed for you while watching the video. You came across as a sheltered, uncultured snob. I can't tell if you were trying hard to get a cheap laugh or simply being yourself. I do know this wasn't the first time you put your foot in your mouth on camera and probably won't be the last. Hopefully you can continue to learn from your mistakes. I'm not going to rally and hire Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, but understand that your comments hit close to home for many black Americans. You reduced a moment of praise to ill-informed "schtick" that can be perceived as offensive. Do I think you are a racist or a bigot? No. Do I think you are a habitual line stepper that needs to think before you speak? Yes.
Don't get fired, Bill. I actually like Grantland.
Sincerely,
Wayne Washington
