While rape is a he said she said, domestic abuse is easier to prove. If his actions were criminal, would he not have been held accountable?

It's not like the US justice system to go easy on Black males. I would think the white prosecutor would be salivating.

I don't think this actually his daughter. He has 1 daughter named Aubrey Griffin...she plays ball at UConn and I think she has a Twitter account that is all basketball focused.


Alan Griffin (supposedly his son) responded to her tweet (or she responded to him, I don't know how Twitter works):

They could both be troll accounts. Or they could be real. I have no idea.

What? Anyways, there is a statute of limitations on many types of alleged crimes.

I have no opinion on this matter other than bringing it to Twitter and tagging all the Raptors reporters is not the way to handle family law disputes. The courts are there for a reason. If she's owed back pay on child support, the court is the place to handle that. If she's alleging he beat her, then the police are there for that. These public accusations without actual proof don't sit well with me.

Will wait for more info to decide who the piece of sh*t in the relationship is, but this public Twitter rant is bush league imo.

That list sounds like things that took place 10 years ago as his kids are grown now, it also sounds like every single adult relationship I was privy to growing up.

I'm sure AG can post a big list of nasty thing she did to him too. Zero relevance to basketball, take him to court already.


Yikes!


I don't know where you grew up, but I grew up in North America. You either begin to hate your significant other when you realize they aren't perfect, or you are to depressed to care. The neighbors who are smiling at you waving while embracing each other, are only smiling because they know you will never find the bodies.

Just kidding... kinda.

So she didn't file police reports? I get women not reporting rapes because they won't be believed, but physical violence creates evidence. If she didn't report at the time, there's not much to go on here.

And yes, the US justice system is racist. If there is a chance to fill a spot in their for-profit jails, they will take it.

He was hired before any of this came out so what are you talking about, the man aint walking around beating people infront of masai. Also his ex could easily be making this up, you know that right?


If potential malpractice from an employee in your organization has to be that obvious your organization is probably quite poor.

Anything is possible, but you should be ready for every scenario, not caught with your pants down.

So you're basically claiming that Adrian Griffin is guilty without having seen any evidence aside from this woman's tweets.

Do I have that right?

If someone wants to make detailed criminal accusations in a tweet, why didn’t they @ toronto police? Or did it allegedly happen before he came here?

Police in Ontario take that **** really seriously. To me there is absolutely zero chance, zero, that someone would “sweep it under the rug” because they like basketball assistant coaches.

So would MLSE and I highly doubt they’d go out on any sort of limb for a new hire. Rogers and Bell do not **** around with their brand value.

A leafs coach though...

One would assume that the alleged abuse didn't happen in Toronto.

Why do people feel its necessary to have strong opinions without knowing the full story? That's just being ignorant and dumb. It happens so much on here for some reason.

That's true, unfortunately we have folks on this board that immediately assume she's lying.

I do hope the Raptors address these allegations soon, and what the plan is going forward.

I know a few women who get abused, or have gotten abused in past relationships (physically and/or emotionally), and they've never reported their partners to the police (despite suggestions from family and friends). One of them even had a recording of her husband verbally abusing her and threatening her with violence on her phone. She deleted the recording instead of going to police. She says she "bears the abuse for the kids" (who are adults and have themselves volunteered to report their father, but she pleaded with them not to...). I don't get it, but there is clearly some psychological element at play in a lot of abuse cases that keeps women from going to police.

To add to previous post, this isn’t a raptor issue, it’s an NBA league issue if he is found guilty he will let be let go, like the Luke Walton story earlier to the start of this 2019-20 season when he was supposed of sexual assault (or something on those lines) but it wasn’t true & he still has his job

as I said the NBA office doesn’t like bad publicity like this, if there is any truth (which we don’t know) then he will be fired & pretty sure he would be deemed as not hireable by other teams as well

yup, im not gunna say whose right or not, not my place to say. however, this is normal, this board supports raptors to by extension, we like him more and if hes more favorable to us, we will defend him. its just how this goes, those on the outside will be more inclined to support her.

this reminds me of the recent smash players metoo movement when fans defended a a guy who admitted to trying to get pic of a 14 year old when he was an adult even asking her to perform a gross act. its pretty pathetic.


if this stuff is tru, then obvs he needs to be off the team but as of right now, its not proven so nothign should happen imo. I remeber wades wife was crazy making so many accussations and all of it came out to be false.
