The NBA is so poorly run it isn’t even funny.

This isn’t really Pels related so sorry in advance.
Ja Morant: Assaults a minor, poses shirtless in a strip club flashing a gun on instagram, keeps all major endorsements and gets a 2 game suspension
Kyrie Irving: Posts a link to an Amazon Prime movie, gets suspended indefinitely, multiple fines and lost most major endorsements.
I’m not trying to defend Kyrie either. He is a head case and was rightfully suspended, but how the hell can anyone justify this?? Nike just completely brushed Ja’s actions to the side and even thanked him for his “accountability” seriously Nike???? Really??

Kyrie insulted all Jewish people. They are a higher percentage of the population of the market he played in, 10% in NYC vs 1% in Dallas. Kyrie became a threat to the bottom line of his team and he was suspended by his team.
Ja hasn’t done anything to threaten team or league revenue yet. I can see how you could consider his behavior worse, but it’s not costing anyone money yet. Also, I believe this action is coming from the league, not the team. The team has been pretty dismissive of the behavior and the suspension didn’t come until after the league got involved.

The Real truth of it is ,is that Ja Morant is pushing a culture that sadly the powers that be approves of. Kylie offended those same powers that be, not unlike Kanye west. The same people who control Hollywood, and the Banking system. You know who that is right?

No. Just minors with a gun after he beats them. Pathetic.
ETA: I do not disagree. Kyrie earned his suspension.

Kyrie had many many chances to prevent the suspension.

America doesn't really care that much about a guy having a gun.

Just ignore him beating a minor I guess

I promise you, Ja will be losing some endorsements.

Was he ever charged and convicted of a crime? I’m not saying what he did wasn’t bad, but why should businesses have to do the job of the criminal justice system?
Also, this isn’t over yet. Shams phrased it as “at least 2 games.” I think the suspension was a preemptive move by the team, but the league potentially will add more games to it once their investigation is complete. It still probably won’t live up to your expectations of punishment, but again, no criminal charges and not costing money yet, what else would they do?

There is also some sort of story Morant pointed a gun or laser at the Indiana Pacers bus.
Here is the story , click link

Upon entering the loading zone, Morant joined Pack and another individual in an SUV that is said to have made its way toward the Pacers bus, “turned, slowed,” with those associated with the Pacers believing to see “a red laser coming from the car.” “We felt we were in grave danger,” one individual told The Athletic of the incident. Though two associates of the Pacers’ party did not see who was behind the apparent laser, they’re also uncertain if the pointer was attached to a gun.

Kyrie had the potential to affect the bottom line a shite ton more than Morant.

Shams reported it as such but the Grizzlies statement did not say it was a suspension, just that he'd be away.
And Morant said he himself was stepping away for a couple of games.
All that leads me to believe the Grizzlies have yet to take any action.

Guess we got no room to talk. Our running back might be going to jail.

Fake outage. The CEO of Amazon is Jewish and never pulled the movie from Amazon. I haven't watched the movie much like those who are outraged by Kyrie posting a link. They're only outraged because the media told them that they should be outraged

Ja is living the thug black culture. Nba knows that this is their bread and butter.
They will try their best to not punish him in any way.

Have you spoken to anyone black about this? Because your small mind would be blown off you knew how black people actually think instead of making ASSumptions

The % doesn't matter, you just can't piss off the jews in this world. It's been like that for a LONG arse time.
IDGAF about Ja and the gun, but the attacking a minor thing is pretty fricked up.

Let’s continue:
-Praises a racist a-hole, who is in bed with a communist country, as its “GOAT”—LeBitch will ne’er replace the true GOAT, Jordan
-Commish looks extremely unhealthy—“Adam Silver disease”
-And this pussyass “rest/maintenance” bullshite—if Kobe were only alive today… “SOFT!”
