Knowing me, I would have said something like, “At least I have my healthcare.” I loved playing butthurt W teams. Their failed attempts to talk shit was laughable.

  I would have said “yeah, you’re looking at him. Tell mom to call me”. Then I would have slapped him with my dick.

An Appalachian State University student should be especially sensitive to stereotypes, I would think.

  Not if he’s got racist role models on the international stage in his sport. Tennys Sandgren made the quarterfinals at the Australian Open last week before Hyeon Chung from Korea wiped him out.

  He should be more sensitive to his fellow classmates. Showing off all those teeth like he ain’t no hillbilly trash from the holler.

  This is the Tennys Sandgren backlash that anybody half-woke who’s watched tennis for ten minutes knew was going to happen. He made the QFs before Hyeon Chung wiped him out and then realized those neo-Nazis and white supremacists he’d been Tweeting about basically his entire digital life weren’t going to play so well on the international stage. Nike and the other clothing sponsors won’t go anywhere near him. Oops.

  Good. He’s garbage and now trying to clean up his act but, as you write, it’s too late and too widespread with his digital footprint.
  Also, great note on the NY Times <—- they’ve really lost the plot!

after he apparently told his black opponent “at least I know my dad,” during a match over the weekend.
White people defaulting to racism when they get upset is about as predictable as snow falling in Alaska. Every. Single. Time.

He’s taking a leaf out of Tennys Sandgren’s book.

  I guess because I don’t like his tennis or care much about his results but I didn’t really know that John Isner was also such a shit head.

  We don’t like him much either (and so I don’t really feel that bad that I perceive him as too tall to photograph), that “side” of him, anyway, the whole “repeated bigoted remarks” thing, but that’s the whole point – he said some really crappy things when he was booed and Gael Monfils was cheered at the 2013 US Open, but it was because Gael was playing like a flying wizard machine and Isner was not only giving us his usual Servebot Snooze, but also he was behaving like a big baby brat who believed he should be universally cheered just because he was from the U.S. playing at home (and, ostensibly, white) and Gael is from France (and, ostensibly, not).
  And the only people who made a really big deal about his Twittered post-match brattery were those of us who knew enough about implicit bias (and his companionate Georgia bourbon background) to be upset – but of course we were all told it was “no big deal” and we should “get over it” and, of course, the ever-popular “give him a CHAAAANNNCE”.
  THIS time, by contrast, he actually wrote to a university professor with a tennis blog to harass her about her POV on the matter because, to paraphrase what she says he claimed, she “didn’t take Tennys’ side” in the fracas. o.O Seriously?
  But those fans & professionals who are serious about American tennis basically chastised all of us who care about everyone being consistently treated fairly to “overlook it” because … we haven’t had a US Open Men’s Champion since Andy Roddick won in 2003 which is a de facto Tennis Ice Age, and they thought Isner was the Great White Hope of the sport at the time?
  (Rafa won that year. Again. LOLVamos.)
  Ryan Harrison is just as bad, and there’ve been those who’ve posited the mirror image, about Donald Young’s and other men of color’s careers, of what I’ve posited more than once about the ladies’ side … which is that in an actively hostile environment for American players of color – which is basically what we have right now from the top down (even though Orange skipped last year’s US Open, thank goodness, when he usually goes because he will go nearly anywhere for a cameo, but he was supposed to be President-ing after all because we know he’s just so busy, with his Executive Time for TV and Tweeting even though if you listen to him, he never watches it, which is of course why he can basically Tweet Fox and Friends verbatim every morning – and IINM the entire White House Cybersecurity Force had just resigned en masse because they said under his “leadership” they literally were getting nothing done) – you are drastically lowering the odds of ever producing another American champion on either side, because both sets of players are laboring under a superfluous, unnecessary mental & emotional burden, completely not of their own making, to which white players are never subjected in a sport where it’s well-known and actively touted that the mental game is at least half the sport.
  As I say every time this comes up, the whole problem is completely obvious to anyone who’s willing to actually look and see it.

Large-toothed white guy at “Appalachian State?” Yeah, I bet he knows his dad. Probably the same guy as his uncle. Seriously, large-toothed white guys from “Appalachian State” should not be making jokes based on regional and racial stereotypes.

And why hasn’t the coach been suspended?
