Report: Joshua Primo allegedly exposed himself to women

[Blame Rasho]

A 19 year old isn’t a kid. It is the same excuse people said for Brock Turner for his behavior. Enough of that bull crap.

19 absolutely is a kid. I'm not excusing his behavior but your brain just simply isn't fully developed then. People grow a lot from when they were 19

I am not sure what universe you live in, but showing your fun part to people who don’t want to see it, isn’t acceptable. It doesn’t take a fully developed brain to know this. Did you show you privates to everyone in middle school or high school? This is beyond absurd what has been posted and I been here long enough to see so many stupidity leaks for just about everything.

can someone explain to me how this works?

Let's say a player commits a felony, aren't there stipulations in the contract regarding this sort of thing?
How come they need to waive and pay him, instead of just voiding his contract cuz of a stipulated violation of the contract?

is the issue that he hasn't been charged much less convicted?

I would think that has something to do with it.

Like I said, context matters and if it were my sister or whatever I'd want him punished either by myself or the law. I don't see how that is at odds with anything I've said in my post.

He's a scumbag and should have been cut from the league.

However, if some random dude jumped onto a crowded train and took out his dick, I would question how traumatic that was for most people.

The Spurs seem to have handled this the right way, they kept it in-house until they confirmed it and then dropped him despite him being a prospect, that's commendable. Sports leagues have long ignored or diminished bad actors behaviors in favor of their talents.

Ok let me try to break this down a little. Guy jumps on train, pulls out his penis, that is now in everyone's mind ever time they jump on a train and pass a certain stop etc... it's like permanently engraved to say. So yes it is a traumatic experience. Someone may find it funny, other s will not. No matter how funny or not, in most states now you'll get arrested and have to register as a sex offender and all your neighbors would think you were rape banging 8 year old kids.

I'm not arguing it's a good thing or legal thing to do.

Lets use your example, you glossed over what the actual trauma was, the fear that a man will harmlessly expose his penis to a crowded train? If you included something actually harmful I would understand your example. Have you never been exposed to someone's nude body without consent before? Does it haunt you?

I'm not saying some people won't be traumatized especially considering we don't know the circumstances of the Primo situation, I'm just curious why people immediately claim humans are automatically traumatized solely bc they saw a part if human anatomy.
It's slightly puritanical. Again, dependent on circumstances which i know absolutely nothing about nor does anyone else.

Primo is wrong and should face career and legal consequences.

Come on man. Let’s spell it out for you:

Scenario A) you are on a bus with your 9 year old daughter and a man exposes himself to the entire bus

Scenario B) your 9 year old daughter is by herself in a room and a man comes in and exposes himself to her

Which do you find more threatening and which would you be more upset about? Which scenario do you think the girl would be more afraid in?

Primo was obviously not exposing himself in a room full of people or else it would have been shut down immediately and it wouldn’t have gotten to a point where multiple women reported it. He didn’t flash the f*cking cafeteria.

LOL at the mental health excuse. Dude is as much of a pervert as a Springfield pervert

Watch on YouTube

[sjballer03]

While the effects of past trauma/mental health might be attributable to a mistake that a person makes, we have to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise society will cease to function.

Of course there are going to be men posting who think flashing their junk is fine in any situation.

As a woman, I appreciate everyone here that actually gets how this situation, and flashing in general, can be a traumatic event and is not okay.

I feel bad if Josh had similar trauma to him, but that doesn't justify his actions. Hopefully he gets and accepts help.

How is a 19 year old a kid? A 19 year old is an adult

And I think in this case, the Spurs simply weren't willing to keep him on the roster and as part of the organization while this plays out.
Even if it saves them some money, maybe even millions, it does an extreme disservice to everyone else associated with the Spurs to have to be associated with this guy and his creepy behavior.
Classy move by the Spurs imo, and I hope other organizations follow suit (though I won't hold my breath).

Just because you're still maturing and developing at the age of 19, doesn't make you a kid. Let's not make excuses for a young adult who is still ACTING like a kid, by labelling him a kid when he is not. He isn't some 5 year old, acting naughty because he doesn't know any better.

ONE POST in and her central point is **** undermined. A few posts up exposure is minimized. Rinse repeat.

[JayMKE]

Dude is 19, hopefully he can learn and bounce back from this. Hopefully the accusations don’t get any worse. Just ugly stupid disgusting thing to do, have some pride and dignity to yourself.

[MAMBAEMD]

If you don't know by the age of 19 that you shouldn't be exposing yourself, then you'll never get it.
My kids knew not to do that after age 3.

Stop making excuses like his brain is still developing. What a crock of crap that excuse is!

Dude made a horrendous error in judgement at the very least and needs to be punished for it, and learn from it.

I think this was handled well by the Spurs.

I doubt it's an error in judgment, this isn't an isolated incident and I assume that if they know about a few times that's happened - that means it happened many more times that they aren't aware of. this sort of deviant behavior is probably compulsive etc.
I doubt that he just started pulling this **** at 19, he probably just now got caught

he should get treatment etc but some folks itt r trippin' if they think that a little treatment and conclusion of legal matters and some desperate team will sign him

I doubt very much that happens...just imagine, signing a compulsive deviant then he goes and does the same thing again to an employee - that's a hell of a lawsuit because the team that signed him did it while knowing and being aware of his condition

no1 is gonna take that legal risk, plus the PR risk from just signing him
maybe if he was 19 YO Zion Williamson, teams would take that risk but they're not gonna do it for Josh Primo

His next stop is Europe

Then you have not been reading all the posts in this thread. There are a number of people downplaying the severity of it.

A 19 year old knows the difference from right and wrong. Heck, even my 6 year old knows not to get his junk out in public.

And the thing is, if a 6-year-old does it, he gets a talking to and understands.

Primo isn't acting like a child. He's acting like a deviant. Big difference.

The more this unfolds, the more upsetting it is.

Primo didn't consider the absolute privilege of his situation of being drafted in the lotto, by a great organization that put him in a vaunted position; didn't consider his family; didn't consider his GF; didn't consider the women he was exposing himself to - not only in terms of consent, but in power dynamic of a physically huge human being over a far smaller human being and power dynamic of someone who has money and influence to keep things silent.

And his statement reflected none of the consideration to the Spurs, management, coaches, staff, and teammates; to his family; to his GF; to his victims, only to himself and his mental health/trauma which was doing a lot of heavy sympathy lifting.

**** inconsiderate, selfish, creeper jerk.

Impacts so many lives, personal and professional, some of whom have to once again face questions, and others will have to give testimony while he's all 'please respect my privacy'. No.

Did Primo show an ounce of respect? Did he respect privacy?

**** off.
