For those who think nothing should come of this, do you celebrate when cacs lose their job for saying racist shyt on video/internet? if you do, youre a hypocrite. This is no different. Actions have consequences.

I get that, and I get that Ja is dumb as fukk. But what exaclty is he doing that makes the nba or the team look bad and why should he be suspended or fired for it ? He just another gun loving American . Is it because of the rap music ? For me, I guess I would just be more comfortable if they said “ We don’t want you holding a gun while listening to rap music because we think it promotes violence “. But they won’t say that because they know the blowback they will get from that.this is a slippery slope that can end in a farce, and you probably know why
lets take to it to absurdity and show how "if he didnt break any [written] rules he shoudlnt be suspended" is a fallacious statement
nowhere in rulebook does it say you can't piss on peoples graves, or, for example, worship hitler
yet we know whats going to happen if a NBA player pisses on graves of mass shooting victims on stream or praises hitler profusely via social media
you cant be a strict interpreter of the rules and say that whatever isnt explicit in the rules means you cant be suspended and/or fired for the action
if this was a one off for morant, that didnt include him affecting others, id agree with you. but his actions have affected others, he isnt just sitting in his room flashing guns. hes flashing them at pacers personnel, hes attacking teenagers and threatning workers at other establishments.You're not wrong for saying that there should be consequences for acting stupid, regardless of the situation, but it's way too easy for someone to make the logic leap and try to say Ja being a dumbass who romanticizes gang culture and someone being actively racist are the same.
Both are cases of people being absolutely absolute fukking idiots who need to see some consequences in their lives, but someone out here on that racist shyt can be more harmful than Ja Morant trying to live out the last verse he heard, or something.
Lol.I absolutely know if he was white having a gun would not be a big deal to the general public
Hell most posters would say he invited to the cook out
Word to Tyler Herro
Dem likes are drugs…and that’s not an exaggeration. shyt literally affects your brainno one is this dumb. I think dude might be addicted to getting non basketball related attention
Bruh… dude is getting paid over 250 MILLION for the next 5 years as his SALARY.I get that, and I get that Ja is dumb as fukk. But what exaclty is he doing that makes the nba or the team look bad and why should he be suspended or fired for it ? He just another gun loving American . Is it because of the rap music ? For me, I guess I would just be more comfortable if they said “ We don’t want you holding a gun while listening to rap music because we think it promotes violence “.

walk around any major city and look at crime stats...You're not wrong for saying that there should be consequences for acting stupid, regardless of the situation, but it's way too easy for someone to make the logic leap and try to say Ja being a dumbass who romanticizes gang culture and someone being actively racist are the same.

You know those ads that the players have on their jerseys or the commercials that run or the sponsors on all those arenas? They can say we don't like the image that one of your supposedly next superstars is portraying. We're gonna take our money to the NFLI get that, and I get that Ja is dumb as fukk. But what exaclty is he doing that makes the nba or the team look bad and why should he be suspended or fired for it ? He just another gun loving American . Is it because of the rap music ?

Aight man, I get that part . I truly do……but that’s the issue for me . What gives these teams and corporations the right to tell anybody they can’t show off a gun online when many of them support the politicians who lobby for MORE GUNS . I guess my argument is bigger than Ja.Bruh… dude is getting paid over 250 MILLION for the next 5 years as his SALARY.
The people who are paying him, run a business and are investing in him to continue to help grow that business. He represents them in exchange for money.
Him flashing guns in multiple videos is a risk to Ja and to that business. If Ja gets shot, whether by accident or targeted because of his actions, or sent to jail for something that puts Ja and that business risk in jeopardy.
Bottom line, these teams, these people, and these businesses aren’t going to invest in someone who is a risk to their product. Dude is putting everything he’s ever worked for in jeopardy because of his own actions.
Would you pay someone 250million to be on your team and play for your fans if you couldn’t trust him to stop playing with guns ONLINE.
