JOKE! (#8)

Alright first of all, "You cheer the sight of Iraqis getting bombed to death" terrible. I do not, I've never seen anyone do that. No, they didn't do anything to affect my life directly, but unfortunately wars aren't usually fought that way. I don't recall every learning of a war where they went house to house asking for people that were directly affected to go fight. But I do get some satisfaction when my country does well in a war, that is not being racist. War is a terrible event, however at this point in time it is a part of life. It wouldn't make any sense not to have some sort of satisfaction from your country winning a war. That has nothing to do with racism at all.

Second of all, believing Nash is not the best choice for MVP is one thing. But to go out and say it is racist is unacceptable. There is no hard evidence to support that, just speculation. To make an accusation like racism there needs to be a reason for it, not just speculation. Its too much of a terrible claim to be thrown around like it is. You can make a great case for any one of those players to have won MVP, except for the ones that did not make the playoffs. So if Iverson wins MVP would it be acceptable for a white person to say they were racist for not voting Nash? Of course not, their opinions would be ostracized from the sports world. The fact of the matter is, this year's MVP race was close, it could have gone to a bunch of different people.

How are KG and Lebron even close to Nash for the MVP award. What exactly would they be MVP of?? If you remove them from the team I bet you they still miss the playoffs. I also think its safe to say that Nash improved Amare just how Shaq improved Wade.
