Bill Simmons article after “the decision” is going viral and it reads like “sports is like a marriage and it’s for better or worse” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

That era of writing on ESPN, especially Page 2, was full of stuff like this. Jemele Hill used to pile on also

Bullshyt Michael Vick got turned on fast from the dogfighting allegations just a few years earlier...
That shyt was insane

Nah, man. Apples and oranges. While people went way overboard with the anger, Vick did commit actual crimes, and had to do time for it.

The Decision was just unnecessary production around the same free agency decision dozens of players make every single offseason. The reaction was completely unwarranted for something so relatively benign.

first thought was of course hes from boston thats 1


second thought was I have always found it so werid that fans and writers think that athletes OWE them something when it comes to who they play for, bro these guys dont OWE you anything. watch or dont.

when it comes to say all star game effort or load mannagement ok thats a diff convo

It’s a weird “we own him because he was drafted here”

Thing


It’s like they take it as a slap in a face if you decide to go elsewhere

I remember a poll of the hated athletes of all time

Top 3
OJ
Lebron
Vick

I was like

Corny is one thing. Media outrage over it was dumb

If you look at it I kinda get it

LA lakers fan base which is huge hater the golden child because Kobe ran into that issue and was not looked the same for a bit

NY was mad because they wanted him a 25 year old Bron ….. and they had the money put aside to get him

Mid west and small market teams already feel they can’t keep talent

And chi is as mad because they wanted a replacement for Jordan even tho they had rose


It was bad all around and he goes to heat with sun and bytches


Yeah I kinda get it

Jalen Rose being all chummy with him while holding a baseball bat used make me call him a c00n prop

All the charitable stuff Jalen Rose has done for black folks and internet mfs call him a c00n for holding a baseball bat while talking about basketball on a sports podcast

Every time I open this site and see a headline and think ‘yea we’re all in agreement there’, yall say hold my beer

Caping for bill simmons Absolutely disgusting work.

And my main takeaway is I must be old bc how is it not common knowledge Bill Simmons is a line toeing racist dog whistling bytch. Like how is this an exposé, people didn’t know he was on this time?!

I didn’t sense that, I thought he kept the same energy for everyone regardless of shade.

A lot of people thought he was an a$$hole, others equate a$$hole and racist, others funny but a cocky dork. Just like a lot of snowflake cacs think charlamagne or even Stephen A hate white people, whereas brehs call them c00ns at the same time

I think with Bill his biggest problem is that he’s a Boston cac, and specializes in basketball. Meaning that if you are hating on people, chances are high that the targets are black. When he talks football he’s a lot more balanced with his hate


Now that’s not my issue, my issue is people using 2025 eyes and judging 2008 era stuff. Or like tryna cancel a rapper for calling people f4ggot in the 90s. But of course, there’s levels.

Befriending a racist makes all that shyt obscure, and this was over a decade ago.

You sound like someone who doesnt mind being a soft landing for bigots

Idk anything about what their relationship was. shyt looked like a cordial business relationship to me. You're just mad that he held a baseball bat while he was talking about basketball on a sports podcast

Weirdo….I said what I said about befriending a bigot and him standing there holding a bat like a black prop and you still post empty shyt.

Man you didn't add context to your initial point ,you stated you never seen an athlete get turned on fast, and i was like nah Vick shyt went fast...

but i see your point in terms of context ... i allow it

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Bill Simmons is the classic up north cac. They practice subtle, passive aggressive white supremacy. The epitome of this smiley —->

That said I am subscribed to his YouTube channel and he does know his shyt about basketball but yeah. Go look at how he spoke about and despised Glenn Rivers back in the day

Doc Rivers has been a fraud for years now

fukk Bill Simmons but Doc ain't no black hero coach either

 

[hood b. goode]

This comes up every two years on twitter, and every two years it fizzles out. Every time, I hope that instead of being a house fire, it turns into a forest fire....

Fukk bill simmons. Edgelord Boston dweeb.... that piece is only one of his Top 10 Most Racist moments.

I enjoy the Ringer / Grantland, but thats all positive I have to say
