LOL @ Marshawn Lynch Not Going on Stage at the ESPY's

[Made Man]

nikkas can wear them weird ass fruit outfits and be accepted yet a nikka dresses how he'd dress everyday of the week if he was in the hood and he's the 1 that stands out? How did we get here?

Believe me breh..im with you. But the topic of the thread is about Marshawn Lynch. Not Russell Westbrook. I agree with you.

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

Don't most athletes live check to check?

you might be onto something there berh

You just said that you would dress differently according to the award event, isn't that an attempt at cac acceptance? Like I said, why cherry pick which extravagantly pointless circle jerk event to be creative or dress up for

It matters because he has the means to dress creatively or dressup, and more importantly, he chose to go to an event such as that, where folks who are not trying to prove something, usually are creative in their attire or dressup. Why go to such an event if it's too much to change your normal everyday attire?

I don't know what is Bill Gates' dressing down wear, but my dressing down wear is what Marshawn has on because I wear that when I just chilling and hanging around the city , backyard party or house etc

It's kind of hard to find a picture of Bill Gates dressing down in a televised event, like he's taking out the trash

There's no reason why a multi-millionare would dress like that to such an event, only if he's trying to convey a message




How about you focus on what I say and not on how you would react, your bum azz friends or your lame azz kinfolks

I would dress differently from the status quo in that situation aka dress comfortably cuz an espy ain't that serious. I wouldn't bat an eye if I went to an event like that in a white t, some Levis, and Pennys fukk your perception. I don't know how that would be an attempt at cac acceptance. Why should I, or anyone, give that much of a fukk? I can understand a boardroom, I can even understand some big deal shyt like the Oscars or a Nobel Peace Prize, but jesus christ it's a fukkin espy fukk an espy. And why do you give a fukk about what means he has? Ok, so he has the means to buy the nicest Italian cut suit money can buy. So? The reason why I'm siding with Lynch so much is cuz I totally agree with his sensibilities when it comes to money and success. You should never let those things change you if you don't want them to.

It could just be that I absolutely don't fukk with this Carlton ass cardigan sweater extra sensitive new age neo negro dressing like you 40 years old type bullshyt goin on today. But I'm 100% with Lynch on this one, keep shyt hood if that's how you feel. Lord knows if he had dressed like a buffoon out of a Dr. Seuss book it wouldn't be a big deal.

so those fruit outfits don't get roasted on here and elsewhere too?
At least those clowns are foolish enough to think they are being fashion forward and trendsetters because they have money and access to "great designers"

My issue is with the perception that someone is less of a person just because they have money and choose not to conform to those standards in reasonable ways. Is it THAT serious for him to wear a suit? Why can't Black people rock their own fashion and accept themselves rather than run to the first 3 piece suit just because its some faux formal affair. Mind you, I like suits and look great in them but I hate this uppity idea about being required to wear a suit just to maintain some fake cac type dignity due to the money he gave you. That's bullshyt, wear a suit cuz you want to not because you got money and you bout to rub elbows with white people. If you a hood nikka be a hood nikka as long as you hip and don't act out, under no circumstances should anyone have to conform just because of money you givin that shyt too much power over you.



Exactly. shyt is transparent as fukk.

I'm usually with you but this guy @Bittasweet is right, you guys are trying way too hard right now and only on the Coli is what you're saying right now going to get more than a among people being reasonable or just educated about things. All the guy is saying is that when you go to events, you typically abide by the dress code or guidelines. He just noticed that Marshawn is purposefully being nonconformist and you guys went and flipped that into "cac acceptance." This is a perfect example of a red herring. You just wanted to take that angle and you like Marshawn and what he represents, so you flipped his words to cater to the lane you wanted to take. Nothing about what he says warrants this whole "cac acceptance" and "black people can't dress down" angle you're running with. It's true, but not applicable in this instance. This how people end up discrediting themselves and their points (even when they're valid in a general sense like yours is). They don't choose battles properly, and then when the proper instance comes up...no one wants to hear it. If you wanted to run with the "why should he have to confirm to a faux-dress code" at a "faux-awards" show angle then that's fine and it would be relevant here, but you guys went completely left field with it. No one would be saying shyt if he came to the MTV Movie Awards dressed like that. I don't even understand how we got here.

How dare Marshawn not play the game? I am outraged! People are basic as fukk.

This comment is basic

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

actually they do, especially when it's star. More importantly, how many stars dress down vs other ways at the BET awards?

nikkas don't be throwing on suits and shyt like that for the BET awards. nikkas dress like they would at a video shoot. Allen Iverson went from being applauded for his attire and for keeping it hip hop now people laugh at him for not changing to dress like these other weirdo's and cornballs when he attends games.

Because he's one of the few not in a suit bruh

I don't have a problem with it I hate dressing up myself but he looks like he was goin somewhere else then decided at the last minute he'd come through to the espys right quick. He just sicks out, like when Jay pushed that nikka Freewya out of the picture, everybody agreed he wasn't dressed well like everyone else

 

[hood b. goode]

the coli "c00ns vs militants" debate is the single most tired fukkin thing on this website

get a life and leave your damn basements, jesus christ. Anyone at any time who wears a tuxedo and smiles at something is automatically labeled a c00n by you autistic retards.

Does smiling and laughing mean that you're thirsting for acceptance by white people? Maybe its cause someone just made a joke on stage, you antisocial dumb fuks

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Those weird ass outfits don't standout anymore. Marshawn seems to be the only nikka whose attire stood out last night.

Who's you guys first of all? I'm arguing in my own corner.

I'm not even talkin on some tariq nasheed c00n c00n c00n bullshyt other than talkin about cac acceptance pointing out the funny outrage with Marshawn Lynch dressing like a hood nikka when its nikkaz out here dressing like full blown faggits. For that matter how doesn't it apply, if this dude keeps bringing up the money Lynch has doesn't it imply that he's looking for him to conform to those standards? Again I ask, why is it that serious that dude didn't want to wear a suit to the fukkin espys? Ok he has money and can buy top notch suits, so? Look, as far as I'm concerned dude worked hard for his earnings so who gives a fukk about some invisible guidelines. Obviously it wasn't that important to espn since they allowed it.

Is BET the standard for what black folks should live by. Do you want BET to teach your kids what it is to be a man or woman in general? Probably not. For me this isn't a race thing. This is a society thing. Your not conforming to anything by dressing for the occasion. If he was trying to make a statement by not going on stage and not dressing up then it does more to damage our community than help it. If anything this feeds the stereo types even more. If Marshawn wants to be himself...cool. But it shouldn't be applauded as if he didn't give his seat up on the bus or something

 

[I.V.]

He wasn't lettin' his nuts hang like that in his ESPN the Body spread...

See this is the point I'm making with the cherry pick which extravagantly pointless circle jerk event to make a big deal of and which not to. All of them are based in white folks claiming is a big deal, so if you are willing to accept a cac's over hyping of one circle jerk event, you can't now be claiming to not care about cac's over hyping and acceptance for another. That's not consistant

I agree that money shouldn't change you, but I also recognize the reality that 50 said too....if money hasn't changed you, then you haven't made enough. Either case, Marshawn should've kept it a buck by not attending such an event. If clothing doesn't mean anything, then be consistent with that philosophy by not adjusting to any event's attire, including boardroom deals because as you suggested, Bill Gates is still a billionare whether he wears a suit or a t-shirt
