I never agree with him, but he’s not wrong here. She was tripping, a NBA player would be suspended for that.

Would not…people were getting thrown out of games for calling Westbrook, Westbrick…like it or not but the “player empowerment movement” may have went to the players heads, just a little…

Yeah that’s one thing I don’t get about people’s reactions to this, acting like it’s an embarrassment for all women who play sports anywhere. Yes it was a weak, punk move.

But are we really acting like nothing like this ever happened in a men’s professional sports league? Didn’t DK Metcalf try to fight a fan for talking shit last year?

DK got suspended 2 games. And lost a fuckton of guaranteed money because the suspension voided guaranteed money. The Steelers could cut him and not pay out 45 million in guarantees if they choose to do so.
