If you can't look at the picture and read the caption and see what I am talking about then don't worry about it.

I'd go more Jordan, Serena, Ali, but who am I to say? Not sure I'd really need to qualitfy athlete with "black" in that regard.

Is it the "monkey" part of the caption that has you twitching? As in "monkey" = black". So, therefore, only a totally racist as#@&%e could ever post such a thing?
If so, then maybe spend a few minutes to learn what "Survey Monkey" is.
If not, the maybe explain to the rest of us what you're trying to say.

What is it about Trump supporters that prompt them to create so many different (and false) online personas?

You don't mean that the athletes are racists do you? That's ridiculous

Hmmm. The OP says look at the photo and then look at the caption.
I wonder if what he's getting at is that one of the people in the photo does not match the caption? Would there be riost over some sportswriter confusing Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan?

I don't think CrazyBernie is Pyro. The spelling and grammar were all spot on and Pyro can't spell and doesn't know what grammar is.

The OP is inferring that the word monkey should never appear near imagery of African-Americans.
I wonder if the OP still giggles when he hears lyrics "gay apparel" from the song Deck the Halls?

I suspect most folks don't know what SurveyMonkey is even if they've taken one or more of their surveys.

.. confusing Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan ..
Ok, now you're just being sexist :-) Gabby is cool and all, but IMHO, she's no Serena!

Maybe Crazy was referring to the recent John McEnroe controversy...
implying that at least 50 men would be better athletes than Serena?
Personally, I think it's splittin hairs and Serena is by far the greatest in her sport of women's tennis.
Some Satchel Page quotes

On Satchel Page:
"The best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced."
Joe DiMaggio
"Satch was the greatest pitcher in baseball."
