My Dad hated all of his kids. I do stuff with research. I do stuff with sneakers. Sometimes they both intersect. #GT51

As Mid-Majors continue to sell us that the power 5 schools are stealing or attempting to steal all of their players. Data shows us that 60% of transfers were down transfers. (With 46% of those transfers being out of Division 1 entirely) And only 9% were up-transfers.

I just found out E-ZPass is a regional thing. I’ve never been outside of E-ZPass America in a relevant capacity before except for CT and VT, which don’t do tolls. It feels like it should exist everywhere.

@JSHKODNIK Why would recruitment in college be thought of as the future of tennis. I always figured in sports like Tennis and Soccer that if you went to college you likely didn’t have a long future in it. Like no one cares that SGA went to Kentucky or that Kyrie went to Duke.

Calling him anti-foreigner is nonsense. He’s advocating for American player development and asking valid questions about college tennis opportunities. Supporting U.S. athletes isn’t xenophobia…… it’s CARING about the future of American tennis.
Owen@kostekcanu

McEnroe went from posting about college tennis like twice in the last 3 years to posting constantly once he realized he can get the NewsNation crowd with anti-foreigner sentiments Great people are being yelled at for “not belonging” so Americans can get a participation trophy

Are there too many international students in U.S. NCAA sports? (from @MacEngelProf) "While it’s all fair, this development is a massive point of frustration for kids, and their parents, who hope to play sports at America’s most prestigious college athletic programs"

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Yes. It does. Because you are saying that anyone who has less academic success than one group should not entitled to be accepted into this academic field. Which every group has less success that Asian ppl in this space.

@CheckAnfro @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Sure. So if giving preferential treatment to certain races in admittance to medical school and not only valuing merit led to less competent doctors, would you be in favour of this policy or against this policy?

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept I don’t care about teams and leagues lifting people up who normally don’t have interest or have trouble with entry. But I wouldn’t want a player that they thought or knew was going to be bad. Again, the investment in NBA China does not bother me to lift Asian players.

@CheckAnfro @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept So does that mean YES you would be in favour of the NBA enforcing racial quotas so that each team has to hire a minimum of 20% Asian players and a maximum of 60% black players, or NO you wouldn’t be in favour of this?

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept I’m saying these scenarios aren’t similar. Your ask is assuming that Asian ppl will be really bad at basketball. Compared to someone who has a massively higher ceiling. In the medical school scenario. Non-Asian students aren’t an obvious lower ceiling output long term.

@CheckAnfro @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Again, you’re still not understanding. I’m not saying or asking if this is happening in my medical school scenario. I’m asking if you would support the scenario I’ve given in basketball? What is the answer to my question? Yes you would support it or no you wouldn’t support it?

A white mom posted a wholesome Mother’s Day photo with her black son and the comments turned racist fast. Then one guy decided to check the profile of someone liking the racist comments… what he found was actually insane. 😭

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept But this isn’t happening in your medical school scenario. As Black people hover around 8% of admissions. And the difference in GPA is 3.9 vs Asian peoples 3.99 GPA. You are arguing that a 20 PPG scorer is obviously a better basketball player than a 19.5 PPG scorer.

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept The things being discussed here aren’t comparable, because if players are truly worse GM’s get fired. But players are recruited to college(which medical school would be more like that) and don’t end up in the NBA a lot.

@CheckAnfro @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Can you answer the following question? Currently black people make up 80% of the NBA. Asians make up 0.8% Would you support the NBA enforcing racial quotas with the hiring of less qualified Asian players over more qualified black players to make the NBA 60% black 20% Asian.

@Chief494929 @NILnotNLI @MacEngelProf There are 130 of them, which means that every team has .4 international players on them. And most of them are from Canada.

@NILnotNLI @MacEngelProf In the Euro league they are limited to one American. College basketball teams should be limited to one foreign player.

@jibtie @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept What do you think the investment is for? So that China begins having fandom at a large level at basketball and ultimately we see more players in the NBA. International players in the NBA has been on their investment bucket for 2 decades. And mostly ppl don’t care.

@CheckAnfro @AAGDhillon @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept Not asking about NBA China. I’m asking if for the NBA/NFL, they should try and decrease the number of black players in the league and increase the number of white/asian players by deliberately choosing less qualified Asian and white players over more qualified black players?
