There’s a big difference between reporting accurate miss accurate information and speculating, which I’m doing.

Its time to come back to reality.
Athletes like Lebron as I mentioned get paid a kings ransom to play a childs game while contributing nothing of value to society except being social influencers... trash talk by paying fans is a small price to pay for being elevated as a god in society.
I mean look at garbage like this:
…yes? That’s how that works. If someone oversteps the line, you report it.
I don’t think Lebron commissioned that video, so why is he at fault for a couple flour-spice boomers singing?
What are your thoughts on the Kobe murals around LA? Should they be painted over?
Thats not how it works in practice though. No one is getting fired over some trash talk/he said she said BS in the workplace unless it is the most EXTREME of cases that results in some type of physical action. HR loves making people "work it out" anyway. Lebron puts his binky on and the PAYING fans mind you get ejected on the spot. I have zero sympathy for cry baby bron who is on a mission to become the next big hollywood sports icon in the same vein as Kobe/Jordan.
you missed the point with the lebron video.
As far as the Kobe murals go I dont really know as I dont live in LA nor care but yeah I mean who cares about the murals at the end of the day? They could paint murals of teachers or actual influencers in the community rather than hollywood actors/icons that are so detached from reality. I think the youth would benefit from it. Kobes off-court wrap sheet was quite impressive prior to 2006/7.
Why are you guys talking about co-workers? This is a customer. If customers are verbally abusing workers, they get kicked out, they don't get service, they might get security or some authority called on them. This is pretty be normal for life, actually there's more leeway in professional sports for fans to heckle than in many other jobs.Lala870 wrote:^^ So we are yet again comparing a millionaire athlete with the typical joe blow working at some insurance company.
Btw a lot of workplaces don't want to fire people outside of performance/bottom line type issues. Yet again in a real life setting there's a bunch of hoops one would have to jump through before someone got corrective action against that type of stuff...let alone fired.
Lebron simply can go cry to the ref despite the millions he made from the one game...it warrants him to instantly get paying fans ejected.
The fact you guys are actually comparing Lebron to the average American worker while removing all context is baffling

If I was making half a million PER GAME to play basketball for a couple hours I could care less what gets said on the court.

So I’ll ask again, what is the salary cut off for where you can call people whatever you want?

That's a tough comparison to make. So first of all, even if this argument was fully sound, the fans of a team would have a "working relationship" with their team, not with the opposing teams players. So it still doesn't work in your comparison as these weren't Lakers fans.Lala870 wrote:^^I would argue the fans DO have a working relationship with the players. The players are supposed to represent the respective cities they play for and they sell image/brands. Its evolved beyond a mere consumer relationship. People don't get emotionally invested into their favorite deodorant as they do athletes/major sporting events.
Being at the stadium is a much more social/exchange based environment than shopping at K-Mart. Some of you guys are seriously reaching defending bron. FWIW I'm not condoning hateful comments at sporting events but at the same time putting bron on this pedastal/bubble is ridiculous.

I get that you're just trying to support your argument in whatever way possible, but you're going too far.
Anything that you are a consumer of that's how it works. Having a commitment to a brand doesn't mean you are at the same working partnership with the brand as those who work inside the company and it doesn't exempt you from corrective actions from poor behavior.
You're also talking about something else with the putting LeBron on a pedestal, I don't know what that's all about, don't care, I'm just discussing the point behind made.

I can't think of many situations where I can go into someone's place of work as a customer, say something abhorrent to them, and not get kicked out.

You can’t provide your own clarity on the subject.
Simple question, for the third time. What is the income threshold when it becomes ok to call someone whatever you want?

It doesn’t matter what was said if you’re above the income threshold of “people can say whatever you want”, which is what this poster claimed.
I’m trying to establish what that threshold is.
