Nba players not happy about protocols

[Rekkapryde]

this shyt pretty simple to me.
either agree to stick to bubble like protocols in the comfort of your mansion or whatever ritz carlton you in on the road
or
forgo the season, the years pay, and probably future pay as the cap craters due to network obligations and the ramifications of missing mad games
i haven't seen my family since February. it is what it is

if you gonna be with your fam and a mufukka got the phone, take dem shyts from people or at least tell them to not post shyt on social media.

but that's damn near impossible nowadays as everyone wants that social media attention and clout...even your own fam sometimes. And they fukkin your bag up in the process

Quoted for emphasis. Should be in the first post because his answer is solid and there's nothing to hate on in it.

We all know this stuff is about headlines. They never take the full context of these players comments. Thats why I just listen or read the interview in full as always.

 

[Rekkapryde]

This is true but also its real life. You got some players that want to follow the rules and those that don't. Just like out here in the streets we got regular folks who follow the rules and others who don't.

So it isn't cut and dry. Its always hard to get a large group of folks on the same wavelength. We saw this with the NFL and MLB. I said even when they had their issues that one a lot of players aren't gonna follow the protocol and two best believe some of them players who are asymptomatic are playing cause there is too much money involved and even the leagues will look the other way. Folks health be damned.

America capitalism and American individualism during a pandemic mixes like oil and water.

100% agree.

just don't get mad when the consequences make you and have you

One of the problems is that these kats familes often times live with them or are supported by them. So it is a unique situation.

yea
i think these guys are so affected by this because they are use to having entourages, hanger ons, yes men around constantly. can't deal with being alone or only having immediate family around now
everyone don't got it like lillard but somebody like him can quarantine his entire family on his property i'm sure. they knew the season was coming could have tested and quarantined everybody. if your sister has to "live her life" let her do that and just know she cut off from the lap of luxury until she goes back thru the quarantine process

and that makes it worse to be honest. you gotta let them know that there is certain shyt they can't do and say as that will fukk it up for me which in turn fukks it up for ALL OF US.

oh well.

FOH

dudes just want to show they ass instead of just playing ball on the road and when u come home just have a few immediate family around till this virus calm down

What Dame what, to be in the studio making trash music and what George Hill got better to do

Unless the government shuts everything down, the NBA won't do it unless they have no other option to. Most likely scenario is fixture backlog for half of the teams. And even then they will be reluctant to do that. The only sport I know of that has postponed since it restarts is the European Rugby and that's because French government won't allow the British teams to travel and vice versa. As cases are rising.

The players need to speak to their basketball brethren and tell them to do better. Need to tell them, if they acting reckless they basically phucking it up for everyone moving forward, not just today, but tomorrow if this thing ever ends. And when I mean tomorrow talking about future contracts. Wait till that New contract has pandemic clauses and the pay cut kicker that will be included. If it hasn't already happened.

Athletes or not the main thing to take out of this whole pandemic is that, rich or poor, well educated or not, people are selfish phucks.

100% agree.

I feel you breh you got to pay the cost to be the boss as the late great James Brown said. In the end these kats will get through it and deal with it cause there is too much money involved on all levels.

Only reason they ain't been vaccinated in due to the bad PR it would cause due to the optics of them cutting in line. The public wants these players to play but they would throw a temper tantrum if the players were all vaccinated tomorrow.

Yo, they really twisted shyt around to try & vilify Dame

 

[holidayinn21]

[Nero Christ]

Dame needs to be the president or main representative of the player's union

 

[The G.O.D II]
