Ugh. Back when I used to care about professional basketball, I was a huge fan of the original Bad Boys Pistons Team, especially whenever they were playing the Celtics. (Suck it Celtics Fans, it’s in the history books, and even the most ardent haters love Bill Laimbeer now. 
) Something about those scrappy, hardscrabble guys. I always thought Isiah Thomas was a bit of a hayseed (which at that time would have made Rodman even more so), and it kind of makes me sick to hear these allegations, because there is always some truth in the story (hello Clarence Thomas). What bugs me even more is the tired argument that it’s somehow more okay to call someone by an offensive and derogatory term if both people are of the same race. Right. I can’t believe he actually said this in a deposition. Beyond ignorant and it’s just really frightening that people like this are in positions of power. Why is it so hard for people to just be decent? Mr. Vonnegut said it best.
