You can take the thug out of Philly but...
Grotesque behavior.
By some of these replies, I have to pinch myself to realize I am on an OU message board...
SO is this a step up or step down from fighting the football team??
no kidding.. these ku sympathizers are making me sick.. **** ku
Thug's an interesting term. It seems to get used on these boards very selectively.
so now WE'RE calling KANSAS the thug team?
my how things change.
Blame Tupac/Rap Music.
The term "thug" has become synonomous with all things hip hop, and young black males. Tupac glorified " Thug Life", and it took off in the inner city areas, and became an identifying term everywhere else. Now it is the most misused term in sports/entertainment, IMO.
Guys called thugs by rival fans, who should never be called thugs by anyone: Blake/Taylor Griffin, Adrian Peterson, most of the KU hoopsters,many of the young, tattood athletes. Obviously who is a thug is determined by appearance.
Guys who were/are thugs, who you will never see referred to as thugs: Tim McVeigh, Sadam, The judge who was recently caught accepting money from private juvenile prisons, to send harmless kids to prison, and locally the sheriff who was taking money from the abused children's fund. Those guys are true thugs, but won't be called thugs because they don't meet the hip hop appearance requirements....
I've heard Sadam called a thug a thousand times.Blame Tupac/Rap Music.

More by actions than appearance. I don't remember anyone calling the Morris twins thugs (on this board) until one of them launched another human being down a flight a stairs and a melee resulted.Obviously who is a thug is determined by appearance.
