I'm talking 60% of the world's population...billions and billions... throughtout SE and rest of Asia. Hardly to be seen in the NBA, NFL, top soccer leagues.

It's ok. It is what it is. But it is reality in the NBA. There are statistical differences men v women, but also among female ethnicities v other female ethnicities and male ethnicities v other male ethnicities.

I’m not sure what your argument is? That men aren’t physically superior to women?

June 8, 1861 - Happy Secession Day

Tennessee secedes from the Union!


In February 1861, fifty-four percent of the state’s voters voted against sending delegates to a secession convention. After the firing on Fort Sumter in April, President Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 troops to force the seceded states back into line. This angered many Tennesseans who refused to go along with a military invasion of the South.

On this day in 1861 a new vote was called, as the Civil War entered its third month, Tennessee, a border state poised between North and South, voted 102,172-47,328 to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy.

In the state’s mountainous eastern section, however, where few people owned slaves, voters opposed secession by more than 2-to-1.

Tennessee was the last state to leave the Union for the Confederacy and the first readmitted to the Union at war’s end. During the war, many Tennesseans wore Confederate gray uniforms while others donned Union blue. It furnished more soldiers for the Confederate Army than any other state and more soldiers for the Union Army than any other Southern state.

Northeast TN - Specifically Haynesville - kicked out the Haynes' who hitched their wagon to the Confederacy.

After the war Landon Carter Haynes sulked/cowered to Memphis, where he later died.

During the War there were Unionist factions who fought, and killed Rebel sympathizers.

Henry Johnson was the catalyst to kick them out, in fact he renamed Haynesville to Johnson City. He made his $ from Johnson's Depot, and railroad. He later would become the Mayor.

However, not surprising Johnson County did send troops to the Confederacy. Guerilla style skirmishes, and executions and while infrequent did happen along the TN/NC line. Battle of Warm Springs, and Shelton Laurel Massacre are two examples.

Hot Springs NC was used as a route to and from SC.

The county north of Knoxville shown in gray “no info“ is “Union“ county (!). Formed in 1850. One theory is it was named for the “Grand Union” of the United States. I‘m pretty sure they were opposed to secession. 1850 was quite a bit earlier than the Civil War though.

I can’t believe people pay for recruiting “info” in this era.

I could see it 10 years ago. But now? Just wasting money away.

Just maybe a Vol fan enjoys belonging to a Vol site and reading articles about their team!

Doesn’t have to be recruiting info only.

I don’t. They get paid to give info that is readily available on Twitter and then can fall on the “recruiting is fluid” line when proven clueless.

They routinely admit on the pods how things/info changes constantly so it’s impossible to keep up. Yet they still make a living doing it. Not a bad life.

I bet Brent does well. I'm sure Rob and Austin do ok. But, would sincerely doubt they are north of $100K. I think most people would be very surprised what these guy's salaries would look like. At least local guys.
