I know a woman who once read a pamphlet about these guys on an Airplane.

I mean, they’ve landed first-ballot HOFers in back-to-back seasons. Nearly landed a third, but lost out alongside 28 other teams. Vacuumed up a lot of the valuable post-Kawhi depth to put around them.

Ok, but now he’s no more than a reserve center playing 20 minutes a game. With no guaranteed money. He’s a fringe player, the 11th man, with no clout or influence. Just dirt-cheap rebounding whenever he’s able to play.

Simple and sweet. +1

Were I a busy, competitive pro athlete, I'd probably also bristle at all of the "Are you going to give it your all out there today? Where do you like to grab dinner when you're n Jacksonville? What's your favorite color?" bullshit I had to waste my time on. Nothing more pointless and disingenuous than athlete…

The problem is with human nature. Since this didn't occur in public, only the defendants and alleged victim know the truth. Therefore, it sure seems shitty to prosecute, or even root for prosecution, when the public is entirely ignorant of what happened.
