STFU and watch the game

Man, as I was sitting and watching the Thunder v. Laker game with my fam I started to think about the majority of females I have watched sports with and how irritating they can be. These are the types I've run across:

1. The blabbermouth
As a Laker fan, I have had my share of females who have jumped on the Laker-hater boat & have expressed to me that they don't like the Lakers. Cool. The problem is when the shit-talking gets so rampant that they're not even watching the game. They don't even care about the game, they just wanna talk (and yes... females...we like to talk). It doesn't stop there though, they make juvenile comments such as "aha that's why he didn't make it" and repeat the same sentiments over and over. You can't even hear the audio because they're talking so damn much.
All logic FLIES out of the window when their mouth opens. Almost every "laker hater" female fan has used Kobe's run-in with the law as a justification for not liking the team. As if that has anything to do with anything.

"Yeah that's what you get for raping that girl"
"I don't like the Lakers because of Kobe, he cheated on his wife"
Is what I hear 98% of the time when he misses a shot, or when the team has a bad day. WTF does that have to do with SPORTS?

Yea, everyone has that constant shit talker when it comes to sports but please keep it in sports, and know how to shit talk. I can appreciate a true team hater. Not one that's not into sports at all so they pretend to be involved, just don't say anything at all and maybe you'll learn something.
STFU and watch the game.

2. The one who gets mad if you ignore them or cut them off
Maybe I'm conditioned and I've gotten used to the days when I was a little girl and I would ask my dad or my bro a question and they were hypnotized by what was going on. I understood and I did even more when I got into watching sports. It's nothing personal, sometimes folks are just into the game. I usually get back when a commercial is on & sorry if I cut you off from talking about that one bitch we don't like with my yelling about that unfair foul call. "It be like that sometimes" :\ Just stfu and watch the game with me.

3. "Omg, it's not that serious" "Omg, you are really into this"
Yea dummy. Now, stop studying my excitement like a science project, stfu and watch the game.

Black People, what was that?

Black People, what was that?

Some things should not be discussed on national television.
Although I was working while it aired, I get disgusted at things like this.
Our culture is way too exploited sometimes. Blacks are in a dire need of cultural privacy.
This is not the first time I've heard about a debate airing on national television about "black issues"and most of the time it's a debate regarding black men v. black women.
Whose bright idea was this and how is this helping the black community?
What about a show consisting of a panel discussing black on black crime, why it's so high, and what we can do to put a stop to it?

This airing on television is not going to miraculously bring a companion to these "successful black women who cannot find a man", this airing on television is not going to solve anything. It is only going to encourage more finger pointing and ignite more arguments about how "black women don't do this" and "black men don't do that". To be honest with you, I did not even know this was an issue until the media hype began, then I kept seeing television segments with 3-4 "successful" black women" explaining that they cannot find a man. Now all of a sudden ALL successful black women have this problem and now we have ABC doing a damn segment on it as if it is really that important! Which brings me to this question: Why is it EVEN an issue? There is a reason the media keeps beating this dead horse. There are so many more issues going on within the black community that this being top priority is just silly.

What is even more silly is that usually [if not always] there is a non-black person behind these specials. What really irritated me is when I saw the headline followed by the question "whose to blame?" Really? Why must that be the object of the debate? I'm tired of networks exploiting "black issues" for money. Aside from CNN's Black in America segment, these debates airing are nothing but a play on the black community's insecurities (particularly black women) and will do nothing but divide us even more. The people who participated are even more at fault. I am not saying the argument is not reasonable, but it should not be discussed on national television because more than half of the people that tuned in don't give a damn about black women being single or black people in general, it's all for their entertainment. It is entertainment.

Cmon now, the least we can do is have this type of "face off" (as they called it) on a black channel such as TvOne. I'm sayin!

I have so much more to say about this, I will later but bottom line:
Talk to me when a debate about how to stop certain issues that endanger the black community is discussed rather than whose to blame between black women and black men for these issues.
