    @Bones that really is an absolute shocker. The best explanation I've seen is that they had the footage lined up for a story on James passing Kobe on all time points and didn't bother to change it. Fucking idiots.

    More likely a direct result of diversity in action I suspect. Their news teams are probably popping at the seams with diversity hires who have little time for sports. It’s not really that they think LeBron and Kobe look the same, it’s that they have no idea what any basketball player looks like, and no inclination to find out. I suspect the days when being a sports fan was a prerequisite to working in sports reporting are long gone.

    David Lammy has already said it’s a direct result of not having enough people of colour in the BBC ...

    Because all people if colour watch and love basketball. No generalisation or stereotyping there Dave .

    No idea how I did that , I usually go with adding spoilers when I don’t have a spoiler

    Keeps us guessing. Nothing more surprising, or perhaps disappointing, than a spoiler that isn't, but it might be, so we have to check.

    I don’t know how to spoiler properly either so it’s going to be a surprise to both of us

    This thread is showing typical quality this morning. Once it moves off fonts and spoilers, I'm really hoping it dives into punctuation and grammar...

    Not sure if @booboo is up yet but pretty sure that we can count on him (or I will fill in).

    I just noticed that one of my posts had votes from Voodoo, Hooroo and Booboo.
    Were Kirwan and Duluth doing cheap "o"s or something when you lot signed up?

    Your post includes a superfluous ellipsis.

    @jegga that’s last year that one ...

    He’s going full using Kobe Bryant to find examples of racism at the moment. Didn’t have to go far thanks to the BBC.

    @jegga if she did, I don't think it was immediately apparent.

    There's something fishy about this whole candle thing. I'm not convinced.
