I know that this was a humorous take, but there are issues that are troubling through this observation. These men are not animals, and I am certain that they can control themselves. The take that they can't control themselves, in a league dominated by Black men, is the reason why such a comment is oft putting.

what were your thoughts on the dude who tried sneaking a female into training camp up in seattle

Let's not get it twisted, money as a tool can get you the help that you need. The more of it you have? The more help and assistance you'll have at your disposal. Get in trouble? Lawyer up. No money? Public defender. Drug problem? Betty Ford. No money and Black? Just say no.

This is the whole thing surrounding racism, and why the platform was so necessary. It is to shed light upon the haves, then have nots. Cops are taught to treat Black people differently, even if we HAVE.

He's an idiot.

George Hill isn’t playing today. Seems like he’s taking a mental health day

 

[BennyIll22]

Bucks aren't out there yet at all...maybe not showing?

 

[MVP]

 

[krazy88s]

Kyrie was right.

Bucks about sit out the game.

 

[Mister Meaner]

[addict4sneakers]

It’s some people in here that owe Myrie an apology

 

[MVP]

OH IT'S LIT

 

[HIM]

[lovehateself]

 

[Armada]

Yo this fr happening?!

 

[shotsrangout]

This is wild

 

[don ramon]

yeah cancel it. that's how you get your point across

I'm not sure if Chuck is intentionally trolling or actually ignorant in regards to mental illness. Like MVP said, it has nothing to do with money or status. Anthony Bourdain was a millionaire, world-renowned chef with an amazing job that allowed him to travel the world and he still killed himself. Kate Spade started a huge business, and had a nine-figure net worth and still killed herself. Depression has nothing to do with how much money you have or the perception of how hard your life is. It's a mental illness.

Kurt Cobain, Robin Williams, etc.

Then there’s people like John Belushi and Chris Farley who technically died of overdoses, but had substance abuse problems because of depression.


Nobody is immune.

 

[shotsrangout]

I know owners are sitting there with that i eat *** face

These athletes don’t know the power that they hold.

 

[ill steelo]

I applaud them

 

[Cashflow]

That black ice in Tony Brothers' hair is egregious

 

[antidope]

Tweets not loading again?

Curious to see how this unfolds, who leaves, if a big enough player leaves, where it forces others to do so, if it forces Bron to do so, etc.

 

[amitt5504]

Salute to the player.

More props to Myrie being the savior nobody wanted

 

[HIM]

We need the Lakers to follow suit tonight. Put more pressure on these mfers
