Wonder what would happen if an NBA player tried to pull a Rampage Jackson.

Writer looks exactly how you'd picture a creepy Internet white Knight.
Maybe you could get a break if you had a better job.
Secretly?!?! I'd say it's damn near a job requirement.
Sounds like he's trying to flip the whole domestic violence, sexual harassment evil black man narrative of the past few months into some vitriol for this player. 'Yeah, hey, don't do that.' Am I reading a 15 year old's diary? This is an article made out of clear emotion and probably some jealousy. A lot of sports writers are secretly envious of NBA players and the lives they lead.
Nice to see that the majority of the comments on the article were roasting the writer
People forget that less than 100 years ago women didn’t have the right to vote. Universal suffrage for men and women of all races only truly came into being after the passage of the 19th amendment in 1919. Since then, society has slowly opened up more doors for women, like Clifton, to excel in jobs and positions men traditionally hold. In sports, particularly, it’s still a male-dominated world, one Clifton has had to navigate on her way to her present position.
Even after all that progress, all it takes is one awkward smooch by Tristan to remind everyone we’re not quite past the anachronistic chauvinism on display last century. Since the ill-fated kiss, people have turned the 23-year-old Thompson into a meme and made light of his foolhardy exchange. The act was piggishness, pure and simple, and the NBA should suspend him, or — at the very least — fine him for his behavior. Allie Clifton isn’t a plaything, she’s a sideline reporter trying to do her job.
We hope Lance Stephenson blows in Thompson’s ear and kisses him on the side of his head when he’s trying to do his job. We hope the NBA acts to fine or suspend Thompson even though it’s a preseason game and Clifton handled it like the pro. That’s because she is a pro. The kiss was workplace harassment pure and simple, so hopefully the NBA takes a firm stand next week, so we never have to witness something like this again.

Stuff like this is becoming the norm.Jeez. This writer needs to stop acting like a P.
This was no big deal. Nba fining him? Ok because they have their policies but this dude writing an article like that? I hope he wrote an article on the Aaron Hernandez case with as much passion, because you know that guy actually killed people. Lol
Dude needs to chill out.
society is way too politically correct these days. that writer represents what's wrong with this country.
Same person would say black people should get over slavery and jim crow and the civil rights era....
I can think of a dozen things that are definitely worse for this country than this garbage article, but I feel you.
