Reply #118: Let's stick with the topic, shall we? You took umbrage at my quoting

[chalky]

your use of the phrase, "or at least not anymore".

To avoid any impression that I took your comment out of context, I'll quote the full sentence: "They shouldn't be pushing the gangster image because they aren't gangsters (or at least not anymore)."

Since your point regarding wardrobe had already been made, your parenthetical comment was completely extraneous.

The only point that comment did serve was to associate the NBA with gangs.

Now if you can supply a list of NBA players who were formerly gang members, I will back off on my determination to insinuate ties to gangs when discussing UNICEF, the Y, and Walmart employees.

Oh, and the Girl Scouts, too.


By the by--if you think sport coats and ties are less "gangish" than bling, I've got two or three "Godfather" movies I think you should see.
