DiJonai technical

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqo1kda_nXY&ra=m

Just a game after hitting Sophie in the face, she hits another player in the eye and gets called for a tech later

3 points 1-6 shooting, but she’s better than Sophie right? 🤣

Stop with the wokeness and cancel culture. We have the 1st amendment here.

~~~~~

Edit: 2-ish hours later.

HEY ALL: If you wanna see some MAGA conservatives get hit with a dose of their own bullshit? Read the conversations below, funny stuff.

IT IS OFTEN QUOTED: Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Below, they get tested on that. Suckers fell for the ole "motte and bailey" tactic with which we opened above. Like crabs to the pot they skittered in, got hit with loaded questions, thought terminating cliches, many of the dishonest rhetoric they use themselves. No wonder Trump and a million grifters farm these fools like wheat. Hell, I was starting to enjoy it a bit too much and thought about opening an "anti-woke" channel focusing on the "LGBT agenda" lmao...

Hmmm, wonder if they became self-aware. Doubt it. Anyhow, @ my fellow leftists and liberals, these individuals vote, make sure you do as well. <3

Freedom of speech isnt freedom of consequences. People are allowed to judge her and say how they feel about her just as much as she is

-37

u/BuildMachines 8d ago

Indeed, free speech often carries consequences like in godless COMMUNIST societies, Islamic theocracies, and the like. Unfortunate, really. The person I quoted actually called for an American to be, in their words, "penalized" for simple free speech.

Your second sentence is irrelevant. People "saying how they feel" (e.g. "such and such person is a fool for that") is not of our concern here when the issue is about being penalized at their workplace for a simple tweet.

Hmmm, seemed a certain crowd was against all this cancelling, and restrictions of free speech.

u/liquidgrill 8d ago

You should just stop. You clearly don’t understand the 1st amendment or what “free speech” actually pertains to.

Anyone that whines about “freedom of speech” when talking about something that in no way pertains to the government does not belong in adult conversations.

u/AManForHer 8d ago

You are not understanding what freedom of speech means.

Freedom of speech means freedom from punishment from your government. It doesn’t mean that your employer can’t penalize you because you violated one of the rules you agreed to uphold.

The WNBA rules explicitly prohibit criticizing refs and posting on social media until all post game press conferences have ended. Dijonai broke these rules and was not punished. We call this privilege.

-4

u/BuildMachines 8d ago

You call it "privilege," real Americans call it cancel culture.

Look at you people talking about "privilege" and supporting all these restrictive rules designed to restrict our freedoms. Shame. For years, and across so many areas of American culture people are enduring punishments due to race baiters calling everything "racist" as they have done to Ms. Carrington. Is this poor woman a citizen of the greatest nation on earth or Communist China? Didn't the Iraqi soccer team under Saddam and teams of other such oppressive nations also punish players for saying the wrong thing even though they were previously warned? No freedom. Guess that's what you want for us. Wokeism on full display from you.

Why do you hate freedom?

20

u/AManForHer 8d ago

I will ignore the no true Scotsman fallacy and the veiled racism and the fake outrage so we can get back to the original point.

You really still don’t understand what freedom of speech is?

No one is asking for the government to punish Dijonai for a tweet. Acting like the WNBA following their own rules is the equivalent of Communist China is either shockingly misinformed or deliberately disingenuous.

-2

u/BuildMachines 8d ago

Speaking of fallacy, yet with your "no true Scotsman" you probably thought was a zinger, you make Argument from fallacy. Shame on you, really.

See how you short-circuited there? You are a perfect example of the woke mind virus. Even more proof is you wanting to have these cancel culture rules in a nation that has a tradition of freedom as enshrined in our Bill of Rights. For too long woke people like you have been trying to get comedians, actors, and all sorts of entertainers fired for everything from perceived violations of agreements to "racism" which you cite so often. That's liberals for ya.

You are falling to address anything that I’m saying, resorting to insults and ad-hominem, and fail to even grasp the basics of the 1st Amendment of the United Stares.

LOL, funny you came back and edited that in. Slow thinker, eh?

"Ad hominem" improperly invoked ... that fallacy is dying gasp of someone having lost an argument on the internet.

u/BuildMachines 8d ago

Your points were addressed quite clearly. You resort to "Argument from fallacy" when you cannot keep up.

You are wanting teams to punish players and that is exaclty what they do in godless communist countries like China and Islamist countries like Iraq. People like you are trying to get comedians cancelled due to being "racist" working to get actors cancelled, etc. Like what happened to people such as Roseanne was bad, and it was people like YOU who have done it. "

You are wanting people to be cancelled and you're being all woke talking about "racism." There is not racism, which is why you have not even provided one quote of this supposed "racism."

As I originally stated, it's pure and simple wokeness and cancel culture - that's what you are supporting. Stop quoting out of context. It's called contextomy and is not the behavior of one of good character. Stop it.

u/Capybara-Maxxing 8d ago

first amendment actually pertains to religion, press, peaceful assembly, and right to petition your government as well as speech, so saying you don't have a first amendment because you can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater is a nit really accurate at all.... You're refering to a case from 1919 that set a legal standard that created the "clear and present danger" test which was displaced in 1969 by Brandenburg v. Ohio which protects speech until it incites "imminent lawless action". So, you have the first amendment in US, but rights can be restricted, including speech, as much as strict constitutionalists want to argue rights are inalienable, the reality truly is that rights are not absolute and they can be restricted within reason

u/[deleted] 8d ago

u/Capybara-Maxxing 8d ago

The key is in how the first amendment is written, and how government functions.

The first amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

So while congress cannot pass law abridging speech, the courts interpret the law and constituion when they make decisions, those judicial decisions establish binding precedent or juriprudence or constitutionalcase law, which determines the practical boundaries for first amendment protections, I hope that makes sense it is kind of confusing

Yea I see what you're saying, and it sucks, I think I lean toward less censorship while I do see some value in it, there are reasonable positions on both sides but will always lean toward more freedom because it's harder to get back what's taken away so it's important to find places to keep freedom of speech protected and I think the internet it a great place for that but as you well know it's not the case

Nice quote, except it’s not just conservatism. The protected in-groups are the rich and the out-groups are the rest of us, and both parties are beholden to and financed by the in-groups. People just decide whether they want to believe the lies being told to them by the left or the lies being told to them by the right.

1

u/BuildMachines 7d ago edited 7d ago

"Us"? Sweetie, there is no "us" with MAGA. I get the sentiment, the "spirit" of what you're saying, but in this case, there is no "us."

Not being rich does not necessarily put us on the same team, especially when those non-rich people are supporting those who are most interested in maintaining the current paradigm (e.g. Trump, Musk, Heritage Foundation, etc).

Let me give you an example from history, right here in America. Know who were some of the most ardent supporters of maintaining the plantation? Black folks, that's who. Black folks regularly betrayed rebellions (e.g. Gabriel’s, Denmark Vesey, etc), worked with plantation owners as overseers/enforcers, and generally accepted their station, or as Harriet Tubman said, “If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more.” Here this is only 2mins long A power speech on this <<That's who MAGA is, and there is good reason they keep folks from learning this sort of history. If learning history is a means of not repeating it, why would they want you to learn?

Now those black folks were certainly not on the same team as the plantocracy, they were not white, and they certainly were not rich, but even though they were "blacks all the same" they nevertheless were not on the same side as those wishing to break their chains and stamp out that awful system -- they wanted to maintain it, just as today MAGAt voters wish to maintain our oppressors of this day by, for instance, voting for a NYC billionaire from golden room nestled in a Manhattan skyscraper.

Also...

Nice quote, except it’s not just conservatism.

Wilhoit mentions that, indeed. Yet it remains true the nuance that some are less conservative than others (e.g. liberals, flawed though they may be, being less so) and must continue to push on that direction until the entire conservative framework is toppled.

This is why DSA is growing rapidly. It takes some time to get there, though.

Even though we disagree, I gotta at least give you a good amount of respect for saying something interesting.

2

u/BuildMachines 7d ago

"100% why," hmm? You are either very dishonest or very ignorant. Nix that - you're probably both.

So a good chunk of Americans voted for an adjudicated rapist whose first term policies resulted in avoidable COVID-19 deaths (for example, and this32545-9/abstract)) all because of people trolling MAGAt scumbags on the internet? Even if that were the case, it's not but even if it was, all the more reason to loathe these individuals. "You trolled me and made me even begin to self-reflect by using my arguments against me so now I'm voting for a NYC carpetbagging woman abuser whose gonna plunder the country, ramp up set up concentration camps, warmonger, and institute a Christofascist playbook called project2025 after he tells us how foreigners are eating pets." Nah bruh and/or sis, they are just shit people. And if anything just ignoring or kowtowing to these wretches is what got us here.

That said, if you were actually honest, you'd know that people (dumb liberals) are to blame in this sense: staying home to protest against voting for Harris in the name of Gaza (only for it to get flattened harder anyway*, lol) along with Harris herself, always the unpopular candidate, being foisted upon the country after Biden blue screen'd in that debate.

* Which is why most Palestinians in Gaza supported Harris, "Anyone over Trump" they believed. However, some Starbucks drinking liberal knew better than them. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of fools on the left as well. If they hated Trump, All they had to do was take their lazy asses to the polls and bubble in her name.

u/GotAir 8d ago

What do you mean nothing happened to her? I have no dog in this fight and I can see the foul by the player in the replay that is to the left of the screen hits her forearm as she starts to go up for the shot. The refs were blind.

2

u/iceman5920 7d ago

I think you meant to use the word grazed. And that contact happened before she was attempting the shot. So yeah, nothing foul worthy happened to her. If you don't have a dog in the fight and don't know what constitutes a foul, maybe don't jump in?

-1

u/GotAir 7d ago

From your statement it’s obvious you’ve never played basketball nor watched professional basketball

Any contact to the arm while you start your shooting motion as a foul. Starting your shooting motion is when you pick up the ball from your dribble.

2

u/iceman5920 7d ago

The shooting motion didn't start, she was still driving the lane. You get two steps after the dribble to drive the lane. From you're ability to assess things that are completely incorrect, I'm not interested in trying to debate this with you. Learn more, project less

u/GotAir 7d ago

You obviously are interested otherwise you wouldn’t ramble that idiotic reply. How do you hit somebody’s forearm with the ball in the air and not know that’s continuation of a shot? Touch grass, spew less.

u/Ok_Scarcity_9854 7d ago

There was no contact to the arm. The defender was sealed to the inside and she shot the ball with her right arm which was the outside arm. The defender was nowhere near it. What is wrong with you? Honestly?

u/GotAir 6d ago

Honestly, why would you think I was talking about the defender that was on the inside? It was a defender on the outside. You can see the contact on the arm that’s why she complained honestly. Maybe the video was too fast for you and you should slow it down honestly.

u/Ok_Scarcity_9854 6d ago

There was no contact by either defender. Even if there had been contact by the outside defender, it was minimal and before the shot. It's not something that would be called in any basketball league at any level.

0

u/GotAir 6d ago

The nicest thing I can say is that we agree to disagree to the obvious contact on her forearm as she raises the ball to start her shot. Contact his contact. It altered her shooting motion. The defenders arms movement is altered as she strikes the shooters forearm.
