I don't think he's necessarily a good announcer but I didn't mind listening to him......probably wouldn't want to listen to him for 82 games a year.

Yeah, he could use more focus as an announcer, but he has the tools.

I think all the pulling the race card is a little out of control too.
But from my little corner of the earth, this is the vibe I get from those words.
Confederate Flag - Definitely racist. Anyone I've ever known to have one of those, was extremely racist. I seriously doubt that anyone was has one isnt. That's at least the perception I get and a lot of other people do. So it must be reality.
Redskins - Not really sure. I've never heard anyone use it in a derogatory manner. I've only heard it when talking about the team. So the vibe I get is that it isnt. Not sure why it would bother Indians either. What's the difference between that and white skin? I guess I just don't know the background well enough.
African American - I don't think it is, is it? What's the difference between that and Italian American? I haven't heard it used in a derogatory manner either.
White Boy - Honky - Cracker - All come off as racist, and it offends me when I hear them. Except cracker isn't so bad. It just kinda sounds funny. So I call all my white people crackers. Not sure if that's ok.
Lyles is Jazz's rebounds leader this game with 9 rebounds.
Where are all those "rebound critics" 3 games ago?

I agree with this post.
I apologize guys, I was out of line. The term "Redskins" is derogatory, but I don't think it was meant to be that way. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
Trey Lyles played nice from what I saw, does anyone know his official stat line? Something like 13 points and 9 rebounds with a couple of nice assists and steals.
I was encouraged by what I saw, he looked smooth and even knocked down a three.
Re-name the "White Chocolate is Racist" thread.
No sweat White Choc, my bad for leading the discussion that way
Here's Lyles' line for today FYI:
