There is no doubt the world gone mad the moment politics started to interfere with the entertainment area of life. This was all foreseeable because their common denominator is money, so it's all about business. Of course the majority of the people act like they didn't - and still don't - know therefore they are all high and mighty about their opinions.
Those opinions usually come down to one view: racism. Everybody poses as a victim and behaves like they are entitled to something. It's the softness of people the reason why the society is weak and its members weaken and incapable of coping with the natural harshness of reality. Just when the world was about to change to better with the help of technology and progress of science, humans decided to step in and take...a step back to their cave mentality. The only difference is now white is black as opposed to back in the days when black was white. It reminds me of a famous song played by the blues great Albert King called Can't You See What You're Doing To Me. In our case the 'darling' is the people... Listen to it, you might learn something!
Nobody wants to admit his/her weaknesses so they end up blaming someone else. Not long ago, when people had money USA was a suing land; now it's just a shaming and blaming country. Do you still wonder why the majority of the people deal with mental issues? If yes, obviously this article is not for you. I advise you to go read something else.
The rest of you who stayed...know social media is bombarded by racial discussions. In USA this is the new opium for the masses so everybody who makes money in one form or another takes advantage of it to profit even more. Businesses are blooming while individuals and private life are shattered. Once someone dares to express a different opinion than the majority, the whole thing goes viral while his/her career ends and his life is threatened in the name of this old (aka 'new'), cave ideology. It is self-explanatory really that low IQ people will always adopt that cave mentality. So here we are two decades into this new millennium to discover nothing is new because people are the same.
The NBA might look like another universe because of all the hype around a tens of billions of dollar business but in fact it got worse in terms of game quality, work ethics and competitiveness, to name just a few. Talking about that hype, the NBA saved ESPN from bankruptcy in 2014 by making them their 'official' media promoter and paying them $9 billion. That is the yearly budget of a decent country in Europe... ESPN was losing profits for more than 10 years because it simply didn't have enough subscribers on cable which translates to pay viewers on TV. Now ESPN is returning the favor and is honoring the contract they signed until 2034(?) by telling whatever the NBA wants the fans to hear. Don't forget 'Divide and conquer' still works 2000 years after the fall of Roman empire...
In a recent interview with podcaster extrordinaire Bill Simmons, the NBA comissioner Adam Silver summarized the philosophy behind what the league is doing as purely a money making machine. Yes, he talked about trying - but failing! - to balance the league with teams set with players of similar market value which we all know is limited by the salary cap. But he clearly stated the NBA is not interested in fan's genuine love for the game who want things differently e.g. expanding the number of teams (Seattle is crying for a team since they were robbed of theirs), reducing the number of season games from 82 to 70 or less (so players don't get injured as often as they do), investing much more in G-League aka the former D(evelopment)-League so prospect players can be affiliated to the NBA but also get a good salary that could keep them close instead of leaving to play abroad etc.

So now with these two facts - the money hunger and the cave mentality - we get to the news and one example of how the NBA, officials and owners alike, handle - or should I spoil it and say 'postpone' issues.
In a game played in March 2019, Oklahoma City Thunder was playing Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, the home of the Utah Jazz. For years, players were complaining to the league about the rudeness of the Jazz fans. In case you have been sleeping under a rock the last 20 years, the NBA is a vast majority black sport due to the African-American athletes. Utah? A devastatingly white state. Can you do the math?!
What happened is one upset but funny Utah fan was making jokes about Russell Westbrook only a couple of rows behind him. At some point he said something about his knees and continued thrash talking to him. Russ got mad after he failed to involve the arena security and decided to go on personally about it. So he talked back at the fan and...threatened him and his wife who went in a shock state and couldn't stop crying. Basically the fan said "better ice your knees" and Russ heard "get down on your knees like you used to" as reference to slavery. People reacted, the media reacted. Everyone condemned the fan. He was banned for life from the arena by an overreacting old lady owner of the Utah Jazz, he lost his job the next day, his social life is over. Russ got fined by the NBA for $25000 which is the amount he makes daily. One life for one day. One kingdom for a horse. I am not saying Russ's face looks like a horse. That would be Blake Griffin, if you really push for it.
Let's look at the facts. First the 'Mama' Gail video and some of the comments including mine in Bold.
C: Nearly every chick in the background was on their cellphone
JB: When the principal has to come down to talk your class.
DV: Typical mom right there. Stops the whole damn complex and tells 40 thousand adults how to act lol
DB: "No one wins when respect goes away". That quote should be plastered over every billboard in the United States
NUS: "Other teams and players are not are enemies, they are our competition." Wow, that was perfectly said but sad that grown adults must be reminded of it.
Me to NUS: Behaviorally speaking there are no adults, only overgrown babies.
BI: Them fans better stop acting a fool. Got this woman up here shaking and shit because they don’t know how to act.
DI: THIS is how you address these situations. She is basically the opposite of James Dolan when it comes to decision making.
TMT: If Dolan did this at MSG he would have got hit with a timberland boot.
Me: Very nice but unrealistic...especially from a majority white state. I mean, come on, who are you kidding to?! Mama Gail just instituted dictatorship into an allegedelly capitalist economy country. Only in 'Murica... And only there people forget Westbrook actually could be charged in court for death threatening fans. Funny you all forget he wanted to 'fuck up' that guy and his wife. Next time it will happen to you and your family...in a parking lot or at the mall. I dare you defend THAT man, no matter what color he is while he is chocking you verbally and/or physically. END of discussion since there wasn't any discussion, only the fear of the ignorant masses and the terror of the rich. PC retarded world...
So the annoying fan was banned from all sports events in the arena. Good or bad, it surely is a bit harsh. More comments to come.
MS: I don't agree. They should have banned him for a year or a few years but not life people can change the punishment for speaking shouldn't be for life even if you say horrible things.
SW: He'll be the next mosque mass shooter. Fucking trump supporter trash.
Me to SW: You mean if they are into that TOGETHER because they are equal morons. That allegedly smart and funny fan can start it but surely Westbrook will pull the trigger because he is an "angry black man" [Max Kellerman on ESPN].
PS: The problem is this freedom of speech gives people the idea they can say whatever they want just because they want to. It’s an excuse to be an asshole. I don’t care what color you are. Just try to treat people with fucking respect.
Me to PS: You are absolutely right about everything except...'freedom of speech' doesn't really exist anymore. We live in a PC world. Now the witch hunt is on - and anybody could be a witch if that brings more money to the rich!
B: The Utah Jazz is a privately owned business, it’s not part of the government. So, you actually don’t have free speech in the building. If I came into your house, start spewing out hateful things to you, you would tell me to get the fuck out of my house, would you not?
BA: Utah is the most racist state in the west. I’m an Arizona Wildcats fan and went to a game at rice-Eccles and not one but two different groups of fans yelled “go back to Mexico” to my Hispanic best friend and his brother. Just all around a shit hole state.
And now the actual footage of what Russ and the fan explained to the media. Plus some of the comments including mine in Bold.
AO: This video was brought to you by liberal ideology.
Me to AO: You forgot to add 'fake'...liberal ideology. Or make it neo-liberal as in neo-nazi. These are always the worst.
JS: He called Westbrook a fag. How you people turned that into "muh racism" is beyond me lol but y'all love to be victims in 2019. The weakest generation ever...
DA: I find it strange that Trump haters on this post complain about racism but attack me with racist comments.
Me to DA: It is called 'hypocrisy' and it's the result of the PC world people have created for themselves.
BB: It’s scary that people assumed that this is racist automatically. I hate the fan too, but is it really necessary that EVERYONE in the United States has to make absolutely EVERYTHING about race.
Me to BB: They have nothing else to do all day. Whining and complaining is the new learn and produce. As Greg Giraldo said it, America only makes porn and autistic kids. Oh, and now black racists who rant about their fellow white racists.
SJ: So sad that a misheard comment can ruin someone's LIFE!! I live in Utah, I know the ppl that work with him... By ruining his life, I didn't mean by him getting banned!?! He lost his job and has been vilified! For a comment that was miss heard! Player heard "better get on your knees". What was actually said "better ICE ur knees". Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me!"???
SD: Spoken like a true PALE FACE Cavebeast
MB: Clearly you're white. Your white privilege didn't work for you this time you piece of SHIT!
Me to SD & MB: You like to bring "racism" to every table, right? And wonder why you eat poison every day...
SJ: Both sides, just keep ramping up... It’s going to go nowhere good. Everyone can decide whether to engage or not, to be hurt by an ignorant comment or not... People that hurt inside spread that hurt onto others, and on and on it goes. Others want to pull ppl down in muck because they're miserable. Misery loves company and I don't want to have any part of it...
Me to SJ: These white and black supremacists will NEVER get the lesson of humbleness! They are out to express the hate they got for themselves but now they dump it on everyone else.
The last clip is from ESPN and it analizes Russell Westbrook's self-damage behavior. Surprisingly Stephen A. Smith allows himself to criticize him (not much though) as they all should! It also brings in the incident in Utah and the 'I don't care' attitude of rich Russ and the ignorant fans (who usually post stupid comments under the clips on YouTube).
Have I said "stupid comments"? Wait for this! I added my own 'peace making' comments in Bold.
JK: You white racist piece of shit, you mad cause a black man gets paid to shoot basketball and have more money than you. fuck come handle me crakkkle
C to JK: The story is about how a guy who expressed his racist views. He was rightfully punished and banned from attending any other games. And yet here you are expressing yours. How are you any different?
JC to C: How is he racist by condemning racism? some white just look for any reason to deflect.
C to JC: He starts out "you white racist piece of shit ". Seems to me he condemned the racist with racist comment.
SB: I hate racist people. In my opinion they should all be put to death.
Me to SB: Yeah, but that's how wars were started by ignorant people...like you. In case someone of your descent perhaps in 100 years from now on will ask why racism exists, the answer is your hate. You cannot fight evil with evil! People become racist because other people do and say stupid shit. So stop it for the sake of your children and their children. Look beyond that, son. Become a better person and hope others do the same so at least there is no reason for anyone to discriminate you nor for you to hate them.
SH: Why do people have to talk shit...can't they just go out and have a good time anymore?
BAH: White people and black people are both exactly the same. They are all bitches. The NBA is full of them both. Meaning the NBA is full of weak ass bitches. The fans especially.
OO: Much respect to all races. God’s love knows no race. Why we hating each other?
Me: I only know ONE race: the Human race. The rest are ethnicities. FYI these are scientific facts! Now try to tell this to white and black racists or racist supremacists and see how they will rip you into pieces because it messes up their agendas.
There is nothing to say anymore. It's just sad that people gave their life for our freedom and what happens nowadays is everyone is abusing his right and takes away others freedom.
In conclusion a few things about Russell Westbrook coming from his fans.
NW: Westbrook is nothing but a ball hogging jackass. He’s suspended again for being an asshole and getting T‘d up.
AS: Because of Russell"s volatile personality the Thunder are in serious trouble come playoffs. If he doesn't learn quickly how to keep calm thru turbulent times more suspensions will keep a coming.
HR: Westbrook has the lowest Basketball IQ of any other super star that's why he will never win a championship. Way to go OKC, you let Durant and Harden walk away for this guy!
