Can someone explain what relevance her attractiveness has as to whether what Ball did was acceptable or not?


It isn't relevant. But some here want to pretend she only got the job b/c she's attractive as a way to blow off what he said as no big deal that ESPN shouldn't care about.

late night tv talk show is a bit different than first take.

fwiw i don't think what Lavar did is all that serious. Definitely not something ban worthy. Jalen Rose did some work.

I’m blowing off what he said because it isn’t a big deal

I’ve never heard this phrase being sexual. I always thought it meant I’m going to change my tone or topic.

He's creeped out multiple female reporters at this point. He had his chances and couldn't behave like a professional when repping his son. Too bad so sad.

The great Joey Tribiani said it best: you can make anything sound sexual.


"I need to find my keys."

"You can find my keys anytime."

What he said is no big deal and they shouldn't care. And that has nothing to do with her looks

The expression “shifting gears”’ isn’t sexual, and means exactly what you said.

Telling a woman she can “shift my gears anytime” is 100% sexual.

Serious question?
Why was he asked to be on that show to begin with?

Exactly.


People taking the saying literal and ignoring the context is hilarious.

I dont like his moxie or demeanor anymore than the next guy. He is a clown, but he can be a clown. He isnt a seasoned Commentator and they act shock he acted indifferent to their own beliefs.

The man is now banned because of a passive innuendo. Will ANYONE DIE BECAUSE OF IT!?!?!

Who was hurt because of usual act? We are soft aa shite.

Your quote is incorrect. He didn’t say that. His comment was probably intended sexually but you could make an argument it was about changing topic

“Lavar, can I switch gears with you”

“You can switch gears with me anytime.”

Just saying you likely have a touch of the gay. No big deal, I have plenty of gay friends. Hell, my husband is gay
