Jackie MacMullan said NBA players are property

[desjardins]

property is a form of asset. And since they are loosely related they can also be interchangeable.


And sports analysts commonly refer to players as assets instead of just players.


Referring to people as assets in they way they do in sports media is disrespectful in itself and should be looked at the same as referring to them as property.

there is historical context to the term property and that's where she is tone deaf, but otherwise whats she's saying is obviously true
whether or not somebody wants to give her the benefit of the doubt on using "property" (on ryan russelo trump supporting ass podcast no less) is up to the individual
personally i don't think she racist and i think she is probably the leading female basketball journalist
but players , white black or asian, are commoditized as "assets" to be held and traded on the market. their rights are literally held and binded by a contract .....acknowledging people agree to that dynamic in exchange of hundreds of millions of dollars is not controversial to me
this morning i had to email my human RESOURCES department so this kind of degrading terminology is used through out our society

players aren’t technically assets.

the word has been morphed into something other that what it was originally intended for.

it’s like when people go on interviews and say “I can be a great asset to this firm”.

but it’s a slippery slope. I say get rid of all of it. It’s lazy wording they way it’s used. People shouldn’t refer to themselves as assets

Ummm, every athlete that has a contract is property. It was nothing racist in what she said

 

[Stone]

i dont think she meant it the way the ppl are trying to roll with it

but yeah, you should stay away from calling black folks property in any way.

if everyone could enter da leagur and go to any team they wanted, da league would be over in a year or 2

Not necessarily, there’s a finite amount of roster spots and playing time available for each team. And the money spends the same regardless of where you get it from

The Eric Bledsoe comment from her on that pod was bad too. She was killing Milwaukee for letting Brogdon go which is a fair opinion. But her phrasing that they let him go but decided to keep Bledsoe grabbing his junk and strutting around. Sounds like the typical racist white person bytching about blacks in sports.

Shut up cac. All you do is post passive aggressive racist shyt, in between literally analyzing other men’s penis’s. It was definitely racist what she said. Either subconsciously or consciously.

Her quote: “ yeah, you are dude, that’s the way it works, that’s why you get paid all those millions

Cackie is focusing on the fact that he gets paid “all those millions” as to why she believes he is property. That is the reasoning SHE chose to support her argument. That obviously makes no sense....unless she’s saying something else subconsciously that makes zero sense as far as reasoning to why someone would be considered property.

She also go’s on to say that the recent racial incidents and shootings are very important to kyrie and she believes he really believes that. She don’t believe that though. She thinks basketball is more important and that the property just has to show up cause they are owned. It don’t work like that, though. Kyrie can do what he want cause he not property and Cackie is a racist

Players are highly paid EMPLOYEES....EMPLOYEES are property of the companies they work for....they’re assets....

Not as in they own you outright...but they definitely own the work and effort/energy you put in on the job.....and they pay you for that....

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Unfortunately the fact that teams can trade players and the players have no say and/or prior knowledge to where they end up, unless they have a clause in their contract, makes them property.

Exactly. Players are definitely assets. Those millions they are being paid are their rights.
