To be fair, I think the Celtics are totally unreasonable. It’s Paul Pierce’s night, and they DARE to play a basketball game. It just becomes a distraction.

Adoration is not 100% correlated to accomplishments. People need to stop trying to create some arbitrary bar of accomplishments or ability, which athletes need to exceed in order for fans to give them an ovation. Boston fans really liked Isaiah, as did the organization, and they wanted to throw him a bone. This shit

I am blown away by the amount of people who don’t think this is petty on Pierce’s side. I’m not sure how a video tribute during a timeout hampers your ceremony after the game but clearly many people do. I don’t care enough to argue about it, but I was genuinely shocked by how many people agree with Paul.

I still fail to understand how showing a LITERALLY ONE FUCKING MINUTE tribute video is, in any way, not letting pierce have his night.

This really makes me lose so much respect I once had for Sager. I know this is a personal/family matter, but it’s still super messed up.

The head whipping back might have a bit more to do with the arm around his chin and neck making his head move slower than the rest of his body.

Or if he want moving so fast. Why’s he got to go by him so fast?

You should buy a computer with a monitor so you could watch a video before commenting on it. Not saying you’re wrong or anything. Obviously, the guy with the sterling reputation isn’t doing anything wrong. They’re just picking on him.

The point of the activism was never to make white people comfortable. It was always about the murder of her father and other Black people at the hands of police, and how victims’ names and families are dragged through the mud. How white supremacy is dangerous and unsafe at the best of times; it is not something that

You know what? Fuck those white journalists. Divisive or not, white people seriously cannot deal with being excluded, told no, being corrected, or coming in second to anyone else. As with most other racist problems white people have had and inflicted on everyone else of other colors, this shit needs to be dealt with.

Refusing to talk to white reporters makes this a bigger story because a bunch of white journalists will get caught up in their feels over how this is divisive and though they’ll lack the self-awareness to wonder if this is something that might be similar to what the Garners went through, their tears will keep this

White people: far more upset that a grieving black family won’t talk to them than that a family member was murdered by a police officer and dragged through the mud.

Secondly, men have to pursue women

and, I didn’t shut down shit. He shut himself down as soon as he started up with that “for every Weinstein there’s 5 misunderstood men who just want to woo woo woo (h/t Jeffrey Osborne)” spin. Seriously?

As a guy, I’m perplexed as to what to do as some women would feel uncomfortable if you simply ask them on a date. Instead of simply calling out these guys, can people actually come up with clear direction on how guys should act.

It’s “complaining” to say women don’t want to be harassed at work? Come on man! Do better. There are plenty of interactions which take place between men and women daily that don’t even approach being considered harassment. If you don’t understand the difference between what should be a “normal” interaction and

Slow down, sweetpea. I’m not in your corner at all.

Look, women don’t want random ass dudes invading their personal space uninvited. What else is there to discuss? There’s no middle ground here.

Women are autonomous human beings. They are not a thing to pick up and handle because you think they look good. They are not window displays advertising goods and services. You are not in a store and handling a product to see if you feel like buying it. You don’t get free samples.

AND DONT FUCKING TOUCH SOMEONE IN A SEXUAL WAY WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT
