Does it make you feel more like a man to dog a 12 y/o kid?

But this did not even look bad. The dad said the hat went catapulting off. Nothing like that occured

I guess my question is, when you accidentally bump someone, you don't say a quick "sorry about that" or "my bad"?
As I said before, the kid was moving, too, and not looking where he was going. Should the dad make him apologize to Davis?

think that no one did anything wrong...I think its an issue of courtesy.


I seriously doubt Baby knew he did that until he saw the vid. For all everyone knows here, he may bave been planning to send an apology.

No, it wouldn't; that's one of the myriad reasons I don't dog 12 year olds. Does it make you feel stupid to be illiterate?

Seems this kid could have been paying more attention to what was going on ON THE COURT at the time of the shot, and not staring off stupidly in the other direction,


Looked like dad was looing completely away- into the stands. Not watching his kid for whom he is know demanding an apology. Dad needs to aplogize to his own kid for two things, if he has not already: 1) not watching him and 2) embarassing him-

From the apology link:

Video of the play shows the 6-foot-9, 289-pound Davis ducking behind a referee and stepping out of bounds before appearing to place a hand in the small of the boy's back. The boy took a step back and his hat fell off.


That is what happaned. No more no less. Good move to apologize demand or no demand.

Yeah, you aren't attacking the kid in your posts, huh?.

The kid was moving, too. Did he apologize for getting in Big Baby's way?

If people are working, and I walk into their jobsite and wander in front of one of them who is moving quickly, and we collide, I pretty much feel like I'm the intruder and I'm the one who should be staying out of the way and I'm the one who should be apologizing.


quote:

He was not standing just like the entire arena; that's why the people on either side of him were not touched. He also was not watching the court, but was looking back into the stands, which is (presumably) why he stepped in front of Davis in the first place.


quote:

Right. The seats are courtside, meaing "adjoining the official playing area of a court." Thus, the kid IN FRONT OF HIS SEATS is no longer where the seats are, but is in the area adjoining the seats, aka -- "the court."

JustSmokin, I am still looking for where he attacked the kid. I don't see it. If by speaking the truth means that he is attacking the kid, you are right up there with the Dad as being a bitch. Nowhere did he rip on the kid and call him fat like a whole bunch of other people.

If you would bother to read my posts, you would see where I said there is no one to blame at all. shite happens. This is a non-issue.

But hey, if you feel better placing all the blame on this kid, go right ahead.

I was saying that I never saw him attack the kid and you flip him the bird saying he did.

I'm in disbelief that an apology was needed in this situation.

The father of the kid wasn't even looking at his son. He didn't even see Baby run into him. Go watch the replay. I love how he goes off and calls Big Baby a raging animal when he wasn't even paying attention when it happened.

Yeah, I call going out of your way to blame a 12 y/o in all of your posts "attacking". Maybe that word has different meaning to you.

Strictly PR at this point. Did you notice the "if" in his statement? They know Davis didn't do anything wrong, but it was the right thing to do to make this story go away.

I am frustrated with your ignorance. Based on your avatar and name, I thought you would be much less of a douche
