FWST: ‘Racist motive’ for dress code? TCU coach denied entry at West 7th bar over Air Jordans

[Bob Sugar]

Air Force 1s and Jordans are typically worn by black guys. People starting fights because their shoes got stepped on is almost uniquely a black issue. Basketball shorts aren't solely worn by black people, but I'd say they're pretty popular. Baggy pants are the same way.

Maybe a bar owner doesn't want fights started because shoes were stepped on.

This is all too complicated for me. Thankfully, the bar at my local Steak & Ale makes a pretty good gin rickey AND lets me wear my crocs. Plus, the jukebox has every Crystal Gayle album.

Now you can own one, and set the dress code... at least until corporate finds out.

I can make a non-cash capital contribution of my Crystal Gayle collection.

We could probably get 2 or 3 locations for that priceless piece of Americana.

In. But I get to pick the waitresses.




(If folks want to be offended on this thread, might as well go all in.)

There is still a Steak & Ale open somewhere? I haven’t see one in at least ten years. Used to love the Kensington Club.

Wait, you actually wear crocs? Is that even legal in a Texas?

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Not a Texas, just Texas...

Hell, I hope they outlawed alcohol and women too.

In my experience 99% of fights start due to those.

Wondered the same thing myself.

I miss Steak & Ale.

As a couple posters said earlier, yes a restaurant or establishment can enforce a dress code. But the question here is, WHO is this dress code meant for? I've grown up around a multiracial and multicultural environment. I have many friend and family members from different backgrounds and races. So not overt, there is some sense here on who they are trying to limit.

Their website says:
Baggy Clothing, Non-Military Issued Camouflage, Air Jordans, Air Force Ones, Polo Boots, Timberlands, Solid Tshirts, Sports Attire & Offensive Clothing

Those are very specific. It does not say sneakers. It specificlaly lists out Jordans and Air Force Ones. Dons't say boots, but specifically says Timberland's boots and Polo Boots. Dosn't say tshirts, but Solid Tshirts (meaning White Ts). Should I go on?

Come one man. If you still can't see it, it's because you don't want to.

Good god. My son regularly wears every single one of those specific items except Air Force Ones, which he keeps in his closet only for collecting.

I don’t understand. Air Force 1’s look like old man sneakers.

Now Bubba, dont shoot the jukebox.

I’m permanently banned from Margie’s bar.

Remind me of the old Stan Smith Adidas.
