No more trash talking!

I totally thought this would be California since it's a bunch of bitches here, but New Jersey is going to ban high school athletes from trash talking during the game.  Just when I thought this country couldn't prove to be more of a bitch state, this appears.  Never will be surprised again!

A quote from the article, "According to the Associated Press, athletes who make the mistake of talking trash could earn penalties for their teams and even find themselves under investigation by the state Civil Rights Division."

Bunch of bitches

Trash talk is part of the game. I have no problem with players saying things like "You can't cover me" or "You're soft." Things like that.

It's when that talk becomes racial or sexist that I can see maybe action being taken. Obviously calling someone a very derogatory term isn't right.

So if a white dude called someone a dirty n****, it would be ok? Or if someone called another dude a foggat or saying they'll rape his mother, that's ok with you?

Why is a field or court ok for someone to say these things, but not in an office setting?

Fair enough. I'm fine with some dirty talk. I really am, but I think some things needs to be left unsaid. But the heat of the moment can get to players and they say or do things they don't really intend.

As everyone else said, it's a part of the game. Every sport has trash talking, but it shouldn't be offensive.Nwolfy

I am racist. I hate everyone who is a waste. 

[QUOTE="-Halftime-"]I'm fine with trash talk as long as it isn't racial or death threats or shit like that. If you don't want someone to talk, don't let them score.Bobbles

Your spick ass is crossing the line, please stop.

And I never cared if someone called me a sand **** on the field.  Part of the game. 

For some reason my trash talk never effected my opponent... "That mid range jumper you keep shooting yields a lower than expected points per possession value!" BAM!No_Hablo_Ingles

You sicken me you piece of worthless s***

Agreed, even though I don't trash talk I don't mind people who do it to me. It just motivates me more to succeed...so when I win I just smile and be quiet cause I know that all that smack that they talked is echoing though their mind.
