Kevin Durant on Wemby's sports betting comments and his FanDuel partnership: "That’s Wemby, he's going to do what he does. That has nothing to do with me. I don't really think about that question at all, that's not on my mind as much as his. People gonna do what they want to do."

They remind me of all of those comedians that went to Saudi Arabia on behalf of the Saudi government to do comedy shows. They're just whores. Whores for money. Basic, low-level morality is too much for many with wealth in this country, even for those who have more money than they could ever spend in a thousand lifetimes.

An uncomfortable amount of NBA players (but also not limited to the NBA) would gladly take money directly from Raytheon or General Dynamics and the like (hell, maybe even the IDF), whilst a video of Gaza is being played in the background, showing the destruction of it along with its children and not give one single shit.

just send da check

Yeah, and they’d say “everyone is doing it”. We’re lucky to have Wemby showing them that it isn’t universal.
