You ever wonder how somebody goes through their whole life - twenty, thirty years maybe even - and all of those events, all of those trials, all the advice they’ve ever heard from their seniors, every challenge they’ve faced - all of it leads up to a single absolutely stupid as shit Internet comment?

His son is 16. He shouldn’t be asked to make that kind of decision about his future in order to satisfy his father’s financial goals. That’s the point. 

Yes the NCAA sucks, and yes this is a stupid rule. That being said, Levar Ball is putting his son’s college eligibility and perhaps his future as a pro basketball player at risk for what amounts to a very questionable business decision.

I really don’t think the NBA will change their age limit to admit LaMelo, especially since it’s negotiated in the CBA. Most likely, the NCAA will admit LaMelo, or he will play some overseas. It’s also not clear that he projects as a high NBA draft pick, despite what LaVar says.

They count as weapons, but not guns.

This differs though from the Brady case in that Brady’s case wasn’t criminal. In this case, cooperating with the NFL could have possibly resulted in charges brought against him by the state. It’s basically a private entity that is threatening you into foregoing your Fifth Amendment rights. That’s precisely why the…

Use “-gate” when it’s a real transgression, and use “-ghazi” when it’s bullshit

Something like this would hurt Ginger Hammer’s authority and further undermine it. I doubt they did this on purpose.

Possible but by doing so they’re opening themselves up to other issues, like god knows what coming out during the appeal, and pissing off the union, again, which will make CBA negotiations that much harder.

This is a tempting theory, but come on. Goodell’s not that smart.

I don’t think they are that sophisticated, I’d go with Hanlon’s razor on this one and they are just incompetent.

It’s almost as if the NFL cares more about appearing to be tough on domestic violence then actually handing out fair judgments!

Wow, I am totally full from this word salad. Way to type a lot without saying anything. It must be all that hand eye coordination! Video games aren’t a sport. They don’t belong in the Olympics. Gamers are not athletes. Hotpockets and mountain dew are not performance enhancing drugs. Moving your fingers in the manner…

Its not that she is crazy. Its that there are literally no witnesses to the events who corroborate what she says, many even contradict it, medical experts cant determine if the bruises matches the time frame she gives for when Elliot hit her, she made attempts to extort, blackmail and bring in false witnesses, and…

But why is he a piece of shit? He seems immature and that’s different. A piece of shit would indicate that you believe that he did indeed commit acts of domestic violence. I would say that there’s enough evidence from enough sources to call into question whether those acts occurred. From the witness at the swimming…

Just to clarify, are you asking me if I believe that during the 4 incidents that on at least 1 of them Elliot grabbed, pushed, shoved, hit, smacked, or otherwise used physical force? About 55%.

So let me see if I’ve got this right: he PROBABLY did something to her, but the NFL’s investigator couldn’t find hard evidence and Thompson’s story was contradictory (to say nothing of the evidence that she probably was trying to cash in on being with Elliot), so they recommend that he not be suspended due to lack of…

Because they want to look like they care. They don’t actually care, but they want fans to think they do. It also gives them another way to keep their employees in line.

I think that was the method of the past, and they have been killed in the court of public opinion. They seem to be over compensating now.

To be fair, you may not recall the fanfare and publicity the NFL generated by bringing aboard Kia Roberts, a very skilled and experienced investigator, to oversee the entire process. It actually was a big deal in that it was a great hire.
