Seriously though. If Ime was fukking this subordinate, and the husband found out and the Celtics have handled it like this...I will begin to assume that this was deliberate to drag some other story out of the spotlight.

There shouldn't have been such an uproar of that's all it was

When did the Lakers suspend a coach for a year for a workplace scandal? :dahell:
@Benjamin Sisko simply pointed out that Jeanie Buss - an owner was openly fukking Phil Jackson, a subordinate. There was no fanfare, no complaints that the relationship was exploitive.

Tbh based on rumors Jeanie probably ran through a couple players too...

Nobody is trying to justify Ime's actions, but we need to be very honest about the way he has been dragged.

Again, y’all are making false equivalencies.

If Phil Jackson got suspended for a year while he was coaching the Lakers because of a workplace scandal that shyt would’ve been the biggest news in sports and dominated the headlines just like this, if not more.

If Ime never got punished by the team and was not having affair on his celebrity fiancé, this story would’ve never became as big as it has.

I brought up the Celtics stature as a contributing factor in to why this story blew up, because they’re a marquee franchise that is very popular with a lot of fans and haters.

Y’all need to start reading to comprehend instead of reading to respond

I do believe this is being blown up to take the spotlight away from Favre

But to your point, this is the crux of the matter. This is on Boston.
If what he did is so egregious, fire him and explain why. No one would argue and this would be a five page thread.

If it isn't then stop drip dripping bullshyt, that causes people to speculate.

Boston has no excuse for this. They have squads of lawyers and PR experts on deck. This was done, from what I can see, to damage Ime's career as much as possible. I would like to know why.

Yes he fukked up, but there are precedents for this, and the way he has been treated is far removed from the precedent.

It’s called protecting your azz and there’s obviously some vendetta against him from the so called executive if true.

SO FAR...THERE HAS
BEEN NOTHING TO JUSTIFY
A ONE YR SUSPENSION
REGARDLESS OF WHO HE fukkED
IF IT WAS CONSENSUAL.

CELTICS HAVE AS MUCH OF
A HAND IN THIS AS IME/WHORE
SINCE THEY KNEW IN JULY
AND DIDNT INVESTIGATE UNTIL
SEPTEMBER.

IM STILL ROLLING WITH
THE fukkING IN TEAM FACILITIES
THEORY.

Ime fukked up period with his actions and deserve some of the consequences for his behavior. At the same time, Boston has handle this issue poorly and should had their ducks in a row before taking action. They just could have said that Ime is stepping away to take care of a personal matter while continue to work on this issue internally. If this situation is bad as some people are speculating, he cannot come back to the organization and his career maybe over.

Celtics owner said investigation was started in July and the result was the suspension. The only thing Celtics announced was multiple violations of team rules.

Training camp starts this week and the season less than a month, there’s literally nothing they could do to avoid the discourse. My GUESS is suspension instead of firing is due to contractual language and a settlement is coming

Yeah he said it only concluded on Wednesday which is when they decide on the punishment.
