Why is America obsessed with athletes being “humble “

[010101]

the attributes that allow people to ignore the character flaws of many popular athletes are temporary

when someone is a great athlete & possesses great character people naturally celebrate that

being a piece of shyte is played out & as soon as a athlete is out their prime people will treat them on the basis of character

Imagine rick flare as a top QB

 

[JesusFOREVER]

Duncan is accepted as the GOAT PF by mainstream media even tho he is nowhere close. Some even have him above Kobe and Shaq all time

Oh so THATS what this thread is really about

 

[maxamusa]

I always thought it was the opposite....guys like Tyson, Romain Reigns, McGregor, Rodman America couldn't get enough of. The wild badmon is always the top draw.....

My bad Flair

They feel they can control/influence you if you seem somehow not confident. They always want to feel they have she level of control over you

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

Watch any video of Tim Duncan or someone and the comments are full of ppl succn him off for being an all time great as well as being so humble and quiet

I mean that’s cool and all but a confident player like Kobe or Iverson is just as respectful to me

We aren’t talking about ppl who made a one hit song or got a lucky break in Hollywood

These are atheletes, literally been in top human shape their entire lives and made it to the pinnacle of talent in their profession AND dominated them too

Who cares if they aren’t “humble “? As long as they’re respectful what’s the problem

THEY ONLY CARE WHEN ITS BLACK ATHLETES OR ENTERTAINERS.

Because the mentally ill think that athletes lucked into their position and should display contriteness at all times

I talk more online than in real life with most people, but I'm proud and will not suck up or kiss white ass or pretend to like some white or non-black bullshyt because it's politically correct, like some of my colleagues. I'm confident in what I know and will not hesitate to challenge an error. I'm always polite because I was raised well, but I won't back off unless we agree to disagree or you prove that I'm wrong. Sidney Poitier and Malcolm X are both in my soul.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I don’t know about that. Jordan revered and his arrogance is legendary. So is Ali

But a lot of them hated them when they played..

BUT, MJ had more of a quiet arrogance, much more than Ali, Kobe, etc.

 

[Roid Jones]

They recognize these athletes are physically superior and well paid but they rather not get their faces rubbed in it but obviously there is an American racial component to it just see Mayweather vs McGregor where most white people wanted Conner the Irish fighter to defeat Mayweather the American despite them having the same cocky money fighter heel gimmick.

It's always there, Gronk is a fun loving party boy but black athletes even stepping in a club is somehow beyond the pale

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Ali was so hated that they tried to “draft” him

 

[The Guru]

People don't want to feel inferior.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

White people believe that black men should be grateful for the opportunity that white men give them.

Black men who are arrogant rubs white men the wrong way because they are considered "out of line" in the pecking order, and because arrogance is reserved exclusively for white men.

But whats crazy is they respect arrogance

only women like that humbleness shyt.. and I dont mean bw

 

[VelourSocks]

What does quiet cocky look like?
