I would hate to be his teammate. This man is a total distraction from everything but basketball.
Your job as a basketball team and league is to make money. He is effecting that. They are broadcast worldwide and their job is to appeal to folks of all walks of life to make the most money. This dude impacts that negatively. How hard is that to understand?
No matter what cause the NFL, NBA support etc they make money and always put that first.
These are the same organizations that charged the DOD to salute the military or kept the proceeds from breast cancer awareness from merchandise sales.
They ain't gonna let fukking Kyrie fukk their $$. You think George Floyd tributes are done out of the goodness of their fukking hearts!?!
A star player (Myers Leonard was a fart in the wind folks) in the biggest or 2nd biggest TV market on a team that plays on the YES Network and national TV fukking their money up!?!?
There's a reason Brown, Griffin and Dragic all were happy to leave. You're fukking with folks livelihoods. Your teammates, ticket sellers, account managers, trainers, staff. Not everyone working there makes "xyz"and just want to do their job and go home. He is incapable of being locked in during an entire season on the task at hand.
What if there's a cleaning of the house and he cause those folks to lose their jobs due to the negative publicity and falling sales? It's very possible Marks is gone then everyone he hired too becomes collateral damage.
Would you enjoy being asked about this dude every 5 seconds as a teammate?
He's a selfish fukk.
Sabbatical,tweets, etc. And then on top of it all you're LOSING.
Suspend him for the season and he can find out "more things important than basketball" since he hates making $40 million a year.
And y'all supporting him do the same thing for y'all 9-5 and lemme know how that works out for you.
