By Kabro Go To Postbullshit, you probably can't even read the bible without getting holy burns.my mom is jamaican, old and black. I've been to enough forced Sunday schools , mid day church sessions, and Wednesday bible studies to last lifetimes.
show me the receipts.
By PSYCH! Go To Postmy mom is jamaican, old and black. I've been to enough forced Sunday schools , mid day church sessions, and Wednesday bible studies to last lifetimes.ok fine. you know your verses.
you still aint shit.
nevertheless, fantastic thread title
By Fenderputty Go To PostSo intent does matter, it's just that your sliding scale of what makes someone a "cunt" is different than mine. Which honestly doesn't shock me.
It also doesn't shock me that you're incapable of seeing nuance and instead substitute it for some rigid, cold black and white scenario you've created in your head.
I'm also not deflecting by bringing up gendered insults. Go back through my posts in this thread. I've remained consistent in pointing out the double standards of the "bro code" when contrasted with the Irving story just 24 hours earlier. I've also shitted on the media and SAS's commentary. This is why I made the comparison between you two in my previous post. You're one step away from D'angela. I'm also not offended, nor am I sure why you think I would be. More like, embarrassed. I would hope for more than low class commentary from moderation, but this isn't the first time I've felt this way about you, so again not shocked.
Again, adding a veil of nuance to something that just isn't.
It's not some rigid cold black and white scenario. This isn't rocket science. This isn't some mythical code that has been handed down from generation to generation via monks, oral history, ordination, 10 levels of obfuscation, meetings in darkened rooms, encoded 5 times and requires generations of study to decipher.
It's common fucking sense. You have to work with these guys 8 months of the year. You just made it abhorrently clear that you can not be trusted by anyone in your team. There are a lot of guys around the league that have business they'd rather not be made public. A lot of them are Franchise players. Some of them are coaches. And they now can't trust you, at all. Ever. Because who knows what you will constitute worth making public, as a "prank".
It's not a "bro code". It's a, I work with these people for 8 months of the year and they're co-workers whom I am going to be intimately close with possibly sharing a hotel room and we're going to be working in a high stress fatigued environment, code. You are going to be privy to a whole lot of their private life, particularly if you're team mates for several years. You don't see it in ANY sports. womens soccer, netball, cricket.
Player B could have just had an argument with his wife. Called her all sorts of names. He was just blowing off steam. But you recorded it.
Player C could have just started dating a girl. Wants to date her for a while. Doesn't want his mother to find out via TMZ. But you recorded it.
Player A could be dating another celebrity. But it's new, and neither party wants it public while they go through the first few stages of dating. But you recorded it.
Player D could be doing anything personal that he doesn't want made public of which there are a million scenarios that don't cross anyone's moral "compass". But you recorded it.
Literally everyone now has to be on guard around you, can't trust anything they say to you, and can never let you in on a personal level. Never bond. Literally ruining the basis of having a cohesive team environment. Because who knows what will trigger the next "prank".
I got your comparison. I'm not the one throwing around insults, veiled or otherwise, because that would be a lack of class... But that's just another deflection to try and derail the fact that your actual argument has no standing. No bearing. How the media portray it has literally no effect on my judgement or statement. I haven't even listened to anyone in the media say anything about it.
I've not had to bring in "my morals" to this. Cause it's not really relevant. This has nothing to do with judging the actions of Young. It's about the out right stupidity of airing your team mates dirty laundry in public when it has absolutely 100% nothing to do with you. Not to mention which, this wasn't done on the basis of moral outrage. It was a "prank".
The Irving story is just completely irrelevant in the terms of comparison. It literally has no similarities at all in terms of how it affects the players on the team.
