latest Ja Morant uh oh

[BlazerWookee]

Surprised there aren't more owners with the backbone to stand up to their employees' union.

FIFY

FIFY

I'm not a fan of Morant's stupid decisions, but the union is only doing what the union is paid to do, like it or don't.......it's a rare business or company in general that willingly does right by their employees if they don't have to.

As this story continues to grow I think it's very thread worthy.

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't blame the owners for their reticence when it comes to dropping the hammer (no matter how well deserved) on a player and taking on the NBAPU.

 

[Propagandist]

Whoa. This brings up memories of the Jail Blazer days, where it seemed like every other day there was some inexplicable tale of reckless lawlessness.

 

[illmatic99]

There is some precedence to this.

Is this really any worse then Allen Iverson bowling alley incident?

This reminded me of a classic Rich Little bit, with Presidents playing poker:

Reagan: Fellas, please! We are here to play cards. I just raised you a quarter.
Carter: Okay, I'll see you.
Nixon: I’m in, too.
Reagan: Well, what do you say, Gerry?
Ford: I'll knock with five.
Nixon: Gerry, we are not playing gin, we are playing poker, you imbecile.
Reagan: Dick, please! You are speaking to a former President of the United States.
Nixon: You are right. Pardon me, Gerry.
Ford: I already did (!).

Who gives a fuck what Ja Morant thinks in a time like this

I need to make sense of all this! Where's Ja!

 

[riverman]

There are toxic locker rooms all over the NBA...supposedly the Hawks and Grizz are some of the worst...Memphis is a crime mecca....always up there in worst murder per population in the country.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Morant sure has tarnished his reputation BIG TIME in the last month. Several instances of him being a complete fool.

hell yes! First Iverson was 17. Second he didnt pull a gun.
Thsi is apples to oranges. Unless you posted the wrong link? That vid is about how Iverson got a bad deal.

I DO think this is important and worthy of a thread actually. There are plenty of people around the league waiting for the NBA and NBA players to screw up so they can say "these are the kind of people that don't stand for the flag and are pro BLM...". It's a silly argument because NFL players can be idiots too and Ja is an isolated case but we have seen how these things work. Will he be canceled? Should he be? I was not sure how serious it was until someone read the CBA section on guns. Ja is in deep shit

 

[Shaboid]

Reminds me more of Gilbert Arenas. Honestly can't blame these guys carrying protection, they are worth millions after all. Doesn't make sense in a club or a plane though. Just hire some big 300 pounders as security.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

This certainly changes the narrative. That was pretty stupid.

 

[Cugel]

Team plane and a gun is a big no-no.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The tweet I found funny was this one:

"at least someone is *finally* calling him for carrying"

 

[e_blazer]

I assume the CBA was rewritten to include the gun penalties after the Telfair “mistake” on the Blazers’ plane.

I'm not convinced this isn't a feeble attempt at straight-faced parody

[Whyachi]

the very real danger of carrying a loaded gun on a jet, is the possibility the thing could go off, bust out a window, and cause the bird to crash.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Team plane and a gun is a big no-no.

whats the difference between having a gun on the team plane or any plane or having a gun at any place

regular people being allowed to possess guns is one of the most idiotic things ever, no-one except police, army, security etc should be allowed to possess weapons

 

[Cugel]

So what you're saying is now he, allegedly, violated FAA rules. Obvious but never occurred to me. But yeah a gun on a plane...not a wise decision.

If you have a handgun in a restaurant you can certainly shoot someone, but it would be really hard to fly it into another building.

Save your logic stuff, bro, we're talking about Americans here...

WE SHOULD USE OUR GPII TRADE EXCEPTION TO TRADE FOR JA THIS SUMMER!
