Re: Wizards Broadcasters, Surely punishment incoming
to be fair, there was a kevin porter that played ball for bullets a long time ago. i highly doubt he meant it how we think he did, but the coincidence is pretty funny...come on.

Let me find the darkest moments of your life and make a joke live in front of millions so we can laugh.
I am sure I'll find something funny.
Why you so grumpy? take a chill pill, what makes you think that that's his darkest moment of his life? Are you related to him?
If I earn millions playing professional sports in front of millions, I wont have a choice would I?

Re: Wizards Broadcasters, Surely punishment incoming
Sometimes a joke is a joke but that is absolutely horrendously classless. This would be shocking long before neckbeards adopted "cancel culture" as their cultural boogeyman. That would have gotten gasps on even the most dark of comedy roasts, let alone a sports broadcast. Yikes.

No, actually I am in the mood to laugh.
So what's the deepest darkest moment in your life so I can all laugh at you.
Waiting.

My darkest moment is probably this, having this pointless conversation with you, laugh away

Always get a chuckle out of these posts. You realize saying swear words on television was (and I think technically still is) a violation of federal law, which was enacted during whatever days you think people weren’t so sensitive right?
People have always been sensitive. They’ve just decided it’s ok to say **** but probably not ok to reference a guy’s dead father shooting a girl as he shoots a basketball in an NBA game on live television.

TTH, it's not worth it. Any one with an ounce of common sense should see that this comment would be insensitive any day, any era.

Re: Wizards Broadcasters, Surely punishment incoming
I mean from the looks of it. It does seem like a case of mistaken identity. Kevin porter playing for the Bullets. Pulling the trigger etc.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

No I am making perfect sense. You think it's okay to bring up someone's murdered father shooting a young girl because some people somewhere thought what the Wizards' announcer said was cute and funny.
I wanna know the screwed up things in your life so I can share it live and possibly laugh at you. You chicken out because you are a coward and a hypocrite and really not about what you say you are about, Mr. Free Speech.
Either you about it or not, and you obviously not and it's okay. Most of you, My Free Speech, internet edgelords aren't about anything besides being contrarian and stupid and cowardly when someone digs into your life.

At best they are **** idiots. Like if there was a former wizards players son running around you may research it a little bit more.

From the time now talking **** like that behind someone's back and not to their face has been crass and the mark of a coward. If that's your moral stance all power to you. But dont slander a player's family. They are there to call a game. KPJ may have **** up multiple times, but it's his **** ups. To make shots like that about his father is absolute crass, and it's not "today". Say something like that 30 years ago and you would face the concequences
At best he's useless at his job linking a player's name and assuming his dad played basketball. If I linked Robert Williams the third as Rob Williams from the Nuggets son, ild be called an idiot
He's either pretty dumb and shouldn't be calling games because his lack of knowledge. Or be turfed out because of what he said

You can still talk about them, even say the same things that were said decades ago, the only differences are that there is accountability now, and the people that are actually the target of those topics don’t have to play along if they don’t want to anymore.

First of all, It was clear that the commentator made a mistaken about the identity on air, just lighten up.
Secondly, just because I ignored your silly request, asking of me to share a dark moment on a public forum makes me a chicken? Are you Biff Tannen from back to the future?

Re: Wizards Broadcasters, Surely punishment incoming
Not looking good... but this is to be expected in these politically correct times, where every single person can be the judge, jury and executioner in every single possible situation imaginable to man.
I'd rather at least wait and listen to what the broadcasters have to say about this. But I think they could be fired on the spot.

You’re upset that it’s “politically correct” to be mad at this guy for referencing Porter’s father’s crime and or murder out of nowhere? That really triggers you? You’re going to complain about that? If that’s not the case, what even is your point?

My point is very simple: a person is innocent until proven guilty.
As I said above, let the guys defend themselves before jumping into assumptions on what they might have said.
