This is the most important one:

right? guess he’s never had a tight connection in ATL. I’m either running my ass off or waiting 2h in that airport.

This is objectively an incorrect statement, but think whatever you will. 

Agreed that Kawhi is a diva: that crap he pulled on San Antonio was awful and journos haven’t given him enough stick for it, probably to retain access. But divas don’t care about saving face; I think if he is a source for this story, he’s doing it to create more Lakers turmoil.

This is definitely smoke: Kawahi was never going to go to the Lakers to be LeBron’s second understudy.

So this might be a Lakers source to save face. But it could also be Kawhi rubbing it in to the Lakers while also creating a smokescreen that he had just completely screwed them by leaving them hanging and making them…

No, I’m worse than that. I’m a centrist who peddles in late night ironic juxtaposition. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Really, you just need to look at his background to see where this stuff comes from:

Why should there be any policy other than: finish your term of service first, period. The taxpayers pay the college expenses of these athletes and have a right to expect they will fulfill their obligations before they give themselves a CTE playing in the NFL and become disabled.  

Let’s tap the brakes on the use of “reporter” in this particular circumstance.

YOWZA!!!!! I love this

This should be the top reply.

But they want to get is mad and clicking!! 

“status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response”

If my co workers were in a salary litigation I wouldn’t comment either. Also, did you consider your status as a blogger for Deadspin probably doesn’t warrant a response?

Sorry Deadspin, but in the US soccer world, ur only slightly better than TMZ.

If my employer was being sued and a reporter asked me to comment on the thing the lawsuit was about I’d probably avoid talking about it too.

This should be criticism. It was not even addressed in the story. Nor was there any discussion about the nuances about the situation. 

You get paid for this?

“Oh, and the gender discrimination lawsuit they filed against U.S. Soccer...”

Have you checked to see if they’re legally barred from discussing the issue while the lawsuit is ongoing? This isn’t a criticism, I’m legitimately curious.
