Philosophical discourse in our society now occurs on Twitter on the regular. We are doomed.

How so? They aren't colleagues who both work for the same company like Jones and Broussard. It'd be extremely difficult for a media member to get Wilson on the phone and lecture him about the pros or cons of abstinence.


If Bomani Jones can't get in touch with Wilson privately, then he shouldn't have a job at ESPN.

Get in touch with Wilson's people to ask him to do an interview on a show? Yes.
Get in touch with Wilson to have a personal conversation about him not banging his girlfriend? No.

Where did I say he had to have a "personal conversation"?

Jones had means to express his opinions to Wilson outside of using his show to do so. But since he decided to be a dick about Wilson's decision, Broussard felt the need to be public.

I don't blame Broussard in the least.

It's also easy for Jones to call Wilson and have a discussion about the topic as well.


Even though it actually isn't. Surely you don't think Jones tweeting his thoughts at Russell Wilson would've helped any.

I didn't see any of the afternoon discussion shows today but I'm sure they all talked about. There's a reason for that and it's not Bomani Jones' call.

OK, but if he actually wanted to change Jones' mind he chose the wrong way to go about it.

I dont understand Broussards problem. The show this was on asked Bomani to comment. Bomani said he thought it was stupid. Thats not being "intolerant"

Also, Wilson doesnt get to air his sexual relationship details on a national scale and expect people to not comment on it.

Also also, does Wilson not realize that any sex he has with Ciara, whether before or after they are "married" is considered adultery?

Very smart guy from a smart family.

Abstaining from premarital sex is an "inherent" belief of all major religions of the world. He called that belief stupid for anyone who holds it.
