post proof? it's every article and as I recall the original social media "exposure". the girl didn't talk to police, hence no charges. I don't wanna make this about race, but Karl Malone gets a very different reception about the exact same sort of thing.
I'm not going to argue this, I just think these comments are a little sad. He's a ball player, why do you care about defending his character? why am I a "dolt", an "idiot", disgusting, etc because I find it interesting how everybody just sorta forgot about this? or doesn't care? don't care is fine, I guess, I'm not the morality police. I already said I'm excited to watch him play cuz I think he's good. My initial comment in this thread is that somehow Lavine is gonna rub off on Giddey the wrong way. I might hearken to race again, Zach is a terrible guy but the child molester isn't? what's the logic?

I didn't realize you could have sex with a child once and it was ok. the second is when we start counting, right? it's wrong anyway, this dude made many posts about "his girlfriend" drawn out over a long period of time. I'm not relitigating this, you guys are just making up lies for some unknown reason. You know it's still possible to like the Chicago Bulls and question the moral scruples of a player who played for the team, right? You recall Derrick Rose's extracurricular activities, right? We men, you can assume and all.

I didn't make any argument about the situation or Giddy. Just the classless dolt bringing it up to shock people for attention.
you're being awful disrespectful toward me on behalf of Giddey. what are you so insecure about? you feel personally attacked or somethin? for your reference, I haven't been watching the Bulls because they're a garbage team. The new team looks pretty good this year, including Giddey, so I might watch. I would've wanted Kobe on this team despite his sex offenses. I think R Kelly made some pretty good songs. is there a contradiction there? maybe, but I don't think so. it's possible to separate sport or art from society, though I think the connection is important. people use this sort of logic to reject any creative or intellectual pre-modern idea because they were pre-modern people with pre-modern values. that doesn't mean they didn't make good art or pose some good philosophical ideas.
I'm not going to be cheering Kiddey on, I'll probably keep trolling him for the one year he's on this team, but I'll appreciate it if he's distributing the ball well and rebounding and running the break.
Also definitely didn't expect to write 10 posts about this, again I'm just responding to the guy that said Lavine is going to be a bad influence on Kiddey. What a **** absurd, and maybe racist, statement.
