Is he doing this to BK because they're sending his checks to Philly still? What's going on with his compensation? I've seen that thrown out there, but can anyone confirm?

You said that claiming mental illness had been a "force field" to protect athletes, and when I asked for examples you listed two guys who have never claimed mental illness and a 3rd who never needed it as a force field and was treated exactly the same before he claimed it as he was after.

Claiming that Kyrie is protected because he claims mental illness is simply false. Kyrie has never claimed mental illness, he is protected because he's a star athlete and he gets away with whatever excuse he wants, he's never had to claim mental illness to get that protection.


Look what happened to Royce White when he claimed mental illness - he wasn't a star and thus when he proved he wasn't of benefit to the team, he got bushed. Exact same will be true of Ben Simmons - if teams think he will benefit them they'll give him a leash, if they don't think he'll benefit them then they'll bush him. That will remain true no matter what he claims.

Sept 2021

"I’ve adapted and changed some things in that respect, in terms of the mental wellness side of things, in talking to counselors and getting some help, getting on some medication that I needed,” Sherman said. “That’s helped tremendously as well, having a supportive family, a supportive wife. … It took a lot. It took a village."



Football may be his first love, but Brandon Marshall is no longer playing for himself. After persevering through legal issues and a Border Line Personality Disorder diagnosis, the Chicago Bears wide receiver has regained control of his life. We follow the five-time Pro Bowl athlete as he gears up for the 2014-2015 NFL season, all while aiming to erase the stigma of mental health disorders

======================

Working overtime to avoid conceding that I answered your question. Time to walk the juelz back.



Richard Sherman doing everything possible NOT to say "mental illness" or give any sort of diagnosis doesn't help your case. :mjlol:

And I guess you gave up on the Kyrie talking point when you realized it killed your argument too? :mjgrin:



In terms of Brandon Marshall, here's a list of shyt that happened years BEFORE he said anything about mental illness:

Oct. 31, 2004: As a junior in the middle of the football season Marshall gets hit with charges of trespass, resisting arrest without violence, disorderly conduct, refusal to obey, and assault on a police officer. Faces no repercussions on the football field and all charges are later dismissed.

April 8, 2005: Before his senior year, Marshall is charged with retail theft. No impact on his football status and charges are later dismissed.

June 17, 2006: Before Marshall's rookie season, Rasheedah Watley files a police report claiming that Marshall slapped her in the face, grabbed her by the arms and pushed her to the ground. His football status isn't affected and no charges are filed.

Dec. 31, 2006: Marshall sprays champaign on another clubber and his friend, leading to an argument followed by ejection from the club and more heated argument outside. Some teammates believe that incident was a factor in the shooting of Darrent Williams.

Jan. 24, 2007: Marshall's father claims that Marshall fired a gun at him after a heated argument, while Mashall claims his father broke a beer bottle on his car and tried to run him down. Police respond to the incident but both father and son refuse to press charges and there is no impact on Marshall's football career.

March 18, 2007: Watley tells police responding to a domestic disturbance call that Marshall hit her repeatedly with a closed fist, and they note a large dark bruise on her chin. Marshall left the scene and was not arrested. No charges are filed and there is no impact on his football career.

March 21, 2007: Watley files a police report after another argument with Marshall, stating that Marshall grabbed a large pipe from a construction site and slammed it against the ground. No charges were filed and no impact on his football career.

March 26, 2007: Marshall is arrested for false imprisonment and domestic violence after Watley reports that he assalted her at his home and then when she left for the airport to get away from him he chased down Watley's taxi, blocking its path with his Charger, and punching the taxi cab's windows. Charges are dismissed after Marshall completes anger management classes and there is no impact on his football career.

June 8, 2007: Watley reports to police that Marshall cut her on the thigh with a kitchen knife during an argument and repeatedly punched her in the forehead. Watley's friend Kristeena Spivey called police when Marshall attempted to leave the scene, then states that he rammed her car with his Cadillac Escalade and then threw a large rock at her car before fleeing the scene on foot. Watley is treated at the hospital but no charges are filed and there is no impact on his football career.

June 30, 2007: After police respond to a fight-in-progress call, Watley tells police that Marshall struck her with a closed fist and choked her. She has a bruise on her left eye and noticeable scratches on her body, according to a police report. No charges are filed and there is no impact on his football career.

Oct. 22, 2007: Marshall is cited for DUI after police pull him over for driving erratically and find his BAC above the legal limit. He later plea-bargins to "driving while ability-impaired" and gets a sentence of one year probation. There is no impact on his football career.

Jan. 18, 2008: Watley obtains a temporary protective order against Marshall. She later agrees to lift the order.

Feb. 18, 2008: Watley reports that Marshall assaulted her at a hotel, hitting her in the mouth causing bleeding and choking her on the bed. Police are called to the scene but no charges are filed. The incident is reported on Outside the Lines with an interview of Watley.

March 4, 2008: Police respond to a fight call and find Marshall bleeding from the hand and Watley bleeding from the mouth. Marshall claims that Watley's sister cut him on the hand with a knife during an argument with Watley, then changes his story and says he cut his hand on glass. Watley states that Marshall had grabbed her head and slapped her in the face. Marshall flees the scene while the police are interviewing them. Later that evening Marshall returns to the condo and throws Watley's belongings off the 20th-floor balcony. Watley obtains a temporary protective order for the 2nd time. The NFL suspends Marshall for 3 games due to his arrest after this incident, but he appeals the suspension and it is reduced to 1 game. Marshall is charged with two counts of simple battery, but fights the case in court and gets a not guilty verdict.

March 1, 2009: Marshall and his new fiancée, Michi Nogami-Campbell are seen by an off-duty officer to be kicking and punching one another before Marshall grabs Nogami-Campbell by the shirt and pins her up against the wall. Both are arrested, but are released the same day and charges are dismissed. The NFL says they investigate the incident but no consequences are leveled.



Marshall didn't say anything about struggling with BPD until 2011. ALL of that shyt happened years before Marshall ever said jack shyt about it. So your supposed "wall of protection" was around Brandon Marshall without mental illness having any role in it - he was protected because he was a star.

When Marshall made his statement about struggling with BPD in 2011, he wasn't facing any legal trouble. In the entire rest of his career, the only remaining incident where he was ever accused of wrongdoing was a club melee where the police dropped Marshall from the investigation due to a lack of evidence of his role in it.

Your own examples kill your case. The "protection" was around Marshall, it was about Kyrie, without either of them having to say jack shyt about mental illness. Marshall's mental illness never affected any league discipline on him at all because it wasn't even known until after all the incidents, and Kyrie has never had such.

So your supposed "wall of protection" was around Brandon Marshall without mental illness having jack shyt to do with it - he was protected because he was a star.

Disingenuous and further juelzing, rather than walking back the previous post.
Sherman directly said the steps he took to address his mental wellness, including speaking to a professional and taking (prescribed) medication.
Marshall says on camera what his diagnosis was.

"You mentioned two players who never claimed mental illness" is false, juelz and smilies will not mask that. Again, time for you walk that juelz back.

I learned if Marshall's issues when he was the co-host of a sports show with Boomer Esiason. I had heard about his series of off field problems, and the dv incident got a lot of coverage when first reported.In THAT climate when DV was a hot button topic, I thought it was wrap for him as a player and for a post football sports career. But, then I saw him on the show, and read about him recently (at the time) going public with his diagnosed problem.
Then, it added up.

Now your bullshyt is off the charts. The two players who never claimed mental illness were Sherman and Kyrie, not Sherman and Marshall. You've given up on your Kyrie talking point completely because he never once claimed mental illness to protect himself.

Marshall made his claim years AFTER the incidents that he had gotten off with virtually no repercussions. You continue to ignore that his wall of protection was WITHOUT any mental illness claim, and the mental illness statement (which appears obviously true when you look at that history) wasn't ever needed to protect him, likely because he was finally getting help.

Sherman likely has a mental illness diagnosis but went out of his way not to report it. That's your best case and it still doesn't help you, because you have no evidence whatsoever that he has a mental illness that gave him a "wall of protection" - he has the same fukking protection that every other star player has.


You still won't admit that two out of three examples don't help you
