I voted under 150 min cuz Kyrie is probably thinking that’s safe ground, but the Jews thing is probably recent enough that even Kyrie’s internal censor is still slightly awake from its perpetual slumber and won’t let it happen. Yet.

Are we 100% convinced a white guy, having fucked the exact same woman/women (assuming consent), with the exact same peripheral allegations, would be summarily suspended? I'd like to think so, but I'm certainly not sure.

I don’t even know the story, tbh, so how can I even speculate

I'm 100% convinced Brad/Wyc are not racist. So yes they would have acted the same way

Oh, I get that. I'm just saying if Kyrie calls everything racially motivated, he's gonna be right more often than we would hope.

OK?

Edit: PS: Fuck Kyrie Irving. Figuratively.

maybe I was confused.

We're you saying that's what Kyrie would say?

According to this, there are about 150 members of the Celtics FO, and the list even has things like “receptionist” on it.

That’s a pretty small, tight organization to be having two incidents of the sort he is alleged to have had, even if we assume the minimum level to all that has gotten out. I could elaborate on what kind of social problems his behavior could have for an organization that small.

And he was told to knock it off and didn’t.

You could me evidence of the decision makers having had checkered racist histories and I still wouldn’t have trouble believing that they would have treated a White guy the same. Hell, depending who was involved, the professionalism here might be even more amazing than we realize.

Obviously, I dunno. But I think that even if we “input” minimal values for all the variables that we don’t know… in an elite 150 person org with a previous incident? Guy has got to go.

Unless I am wrong about stuff, of course. :)
