......Some of the things he did were tangible. Last fall, he summoned rookies Simons and Trent Jr. to his home overlooking downtown Portland. They had no idea why he called them over. Waiting for them was a tailor, who measured them for custom suits. Turner not only arranged for the fitting, he paid for the suits, ensuring the rookies looked proper when the team embarked on trips......

You should read some of the stuff hes said to people online then...

So TELLING someone some dumb shit isn't worse than actually grabbing someone's head and bringing it to your crotch???

GTFO...

It's more calculated and much recent. Youre talking about a mistake where BG was messing around and didnt think first. Bad mistake, but I also think he's matured since his LA days.

That's compared to Turner who on multiple occasions the past year took the time out to type out nasty, vile things about ones family members.

So, ET is one person on-line and a different person in real life? I've never heard of such a thing!

That literally had nothing to do with him being traded...

When someone gets heated and flips off another guy in the NBA isn't it just called another Thursday?

Bro, talkin' bout somebody's momma is every day shit. Grabbing someone's head and forcing them down on your CROTCH is NOT.

Stop minimizing it. Bad mistake?? It's fucking sexual assault.

And let's not forget the games he missed for injuring his hand in an actual FIGHT with a team trainer...

So Evan turner said something about someone's mom on the internet.... Really??? That's all you got??? You still haven't even produced the tweets...

Really quick though... Who was hurt when Evan said what he said?

Players do that all the time.

Look up Michael Porter Jr's finger during that series.

I'll wait.

I dont remember the exact quotes but it was something along the lines of:

"I'm going to cum all over your mothers and grandmothers face then leave".

"I'm going to fuck your mom then ditch her like your dad did".

Thats every day shit? You want that influencing the youth? I'm really disappointed in you.

Both of them are bad, but Blakes happened 4 years ago. Unless you dont believe in 2nd chances, then you shouldnt hold anything against him because people grow up and make changes. Heard nothing bad about him since that period of time.

That Evan Turner shit was recent. I still rooted for him because he's a Blazer but I'm not sad to see him go and I wont applaud or give him an ovation or any of that BS. Those things he said are a big reason why.

2 words:

Sexual assault.

I'da made sure that MF couldn't ever have children if he did that shit to me.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I think ET is like me in that we say stupid shit and only mean 1/2 of it lol

Well, clearly Bones was

What does that have to do with me not liking Turner and being unwilling to applaud him when he returns?

What?

To be fair, if what folks post online is indicative of true character, we’re all complete scumbags... certainly, some worse than others.

I hold Blazer players to a higher standard than some randoms on a forum.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Yeah, that’s normal. Most folks hold others to a different standard than they hold themselves. People generally have a feeling they are morally superior to others.

Having different standards doesn’t really make the actual behavior any better or worse.

So you think that role models and public figures shouldnt be held to a higher standard than random people on an internet forum?

 

[BonesJones]

Having different standards doesn’t really make the actual behavior any better or worse.

When your a public figure and role model for the youth, it does. No kid is seeing what your saying and emulating you. Meanwhile Evan Turner has thousands upon thousdans of followers. Hes a member of our NBA team.

And I've rarely (if ever) seen anyone on here say the type of vile things he's said.

Not on our NBA team anymore! It was like an early Birthday present from the Blazers.

Thank God.

That’s not what I said. Public figures should probably exert more caution about what they post if they do not want to face the repercussions of their actions. That being said, it’s a bit hypocritical to accept such behavior from one person but not from others. It’s even worse to judge someone negatively for an action that you might otherwise partake in yourself.

Im not accepting BGs behavior, I simply think that people deserve 2nd chances and he seems to have matured and stayed low-key since those incidents. If Evan Turner stopped posting shit like that on social media, Id view him differently.

And when the fuck have I ever said anything like what I quoted?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I’m just asking.... are you okay with the BG incident? To me, that’s worse than what ET did. It’s physical. It’s actually making a physical action that was not only inappropriate to even mime by one’s self, but he made another individual an unwilling participant in the action.

Both are clearly deplorable. I think most folks chalk it up to locker room culture, right or wrong.

Never said you said anything like the quote you posted. You keep putting words in my mouth. I’m not arguing here. Just a conversation. But there are very few people on here who have not crossed a line at some point, myself included.

With this quote, you're implying that I have or would: "It’s even worse to judge someone negatively for an action that you might otherwise partake in yourself". If not, then how is that relevent to me and our discussion?

I've seen him do it time and time again. He should know better. I dont like him for it.

I just said I'm not accepting BGs behavior. I agree, theyre both deplorabke. But in the past 4 years or so, BG seemed to have cleaned up his act and matured. Meanwhile, those Turner comments were in the past year.

It was a general “you”. I was referring to people in general. It’s a standard I hold myself to. Notice when I said we’re all guilty of similar things, I said “Myself included.” My intent of my comment was directed at the collective. I’m not judging anyone or directing my thoughts at anyone in particular. It’s more a “do unto others....”. I have higher expectations for myself than others.

And I don’t fault anyone for believing what ET has posted is inappropriate and being bothered by it. I simply don’t understand how someone can deem his actions as inappropriate but not BG’s. I’m not going to change your opinion on it, nor was that my intention. But in my worldview, it makes no sense.
