Find me in the California State Statutes where (as the story currently stands) making a cat noise at a woman is breaking the law.

According to nbc los angeles, the Lakers offered to have the two players meet with her in person (as she requested in the video), but reported that she declined because of a scheduling conflict.

Really. She claims to have experienced such personal pain (daughter trying to protect her mother) and a professional desire to hold these men accountable, but when she has the opportunity to meet them, she apparently had better things to do.

Lol at Nick Young bricking the shot in that video as they were talking about how good he was.

I think it's pretty clear that she is a sports fan. If you spent a few minutes going through her Instagram you'd see she follows a ton of sports athletes. BUT she actually did an exposé on Nick? Lol Now that's funny.

At this point I think she probably realized there was nothing there, took down her original post, and went back to her daily routines. This is what she does for a living so of she felt there was something there she would've met with the Lakers players. The Lakers also seemed to side with Nick's, and Jordan's story, but those guys really have to take this as a learning opportunity. Especially the young guys. Stuff like this IS possible, and could've ended way worse. Especially given who they are. They need to be more careful out there.

That said, I think we can all go back to our regular lives now.

Real sexual harassment victims should be able to sue her for "toying" with the usage of term.

It's fake clucks like this, who make it hard for people who've actually been wronged.

I'm glad the organization is taking this seriously. We may not have many wins, but at least we can demand that our players behave with decency.

For those of you who think that everyone that is defending Young and Clarkson are ignorant, misogynist, or classless, let me just explain something.

The words "sexual harassment", "assault", "abuse" even "rape" no longer mean in today's language what they used to mean.

I'm sure you were taught, that these were horrible acts that should be taken very seriously We all were, most of us from a young age in school.

We are in a weird time where very minor actions by the average persons standard are being labeled as "abuse" and "rape", but those words still carry heavy consequences.

Just a warning out there that you can no longer but trust in these words to mean that something horrible took place, these words should not carry the same weight as they used to.

More and more false claims are coming to light and in today's society, just the use of these words can ruin a persons life, whether the accusation is true or not.

I think they were just goofing around and she interpreted it wrong. But I think this is a lesson learned, if you are a high profile NBA player, don't interact with the public unless it's part of the job. This is why I don't see Curry, CP3, Kobe, or Big Deondre at whole foods. They have someone do their shopping for them to minimize public contact.
