They need to stop with that BS. No one actually believed he was going to put hands on that ref. Has Embiid ever even had a physical altercation/fight since he’s been in the league?

YES HE HAS.

AND ITS NOT ABOUT
PUTTING HANDS ON HER
ITS ABOUT POSTURING LIKE
HE WOULD HAVE...

DONT PLAY THE HOLD ME BACK GAME
WHEN DEALING WITH A WOMAN.

LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING BREAUGH?

Anything to drag a Black woman as being representative of every woman, huh.

:hubie:

And please, this would’ve been a discussion regardless of what Stephanie Ready said. It’s just a convenient excuse for these cats. They’ve hated women being involved in the NBA for a minute now.
lol boy stop it my track record heavy on that gender war bs y’all be on. It’s clear where I stand

Point is still if she didn’t go on that rant it would not have been as big. She went on said rant on the leagues official channel.

Do I think what Embiid did is a big deal? no. Do I think this reflects poorly on all women officials? No

To sit here & act like posters are pulling complaints out they ass is crazy tho. It’s completely fair to criticize the Stephanie’s of the world who want women to be included but still want to be treated with kid gloves. They playing basketball not wooing the ref for marriage :dead:

I actually forgot about him and KAT. I know he went overboard, and he deserved to be ejected. I’m talking about this whole “I feared for her safety” talk. I don’t think he would’ve been that stupid to do something to get suspended for the rest of the season and more.

Embiid did go a little overboard, especially when she had to put her hand over her face because he got a little too close. I'm talking head-to-head close, and a few more inches, he'd (unintentionally) dayum near headbutt her if not for Lowry intervening.

It has nothing to do with gender. Had he gotten in a male referee's face, I guarantee he'd be ejected, too; it's not about the prospect of him putting hands on her, but rather, there are boundaries to having “fire for the game” compared to just getting crazy and going over the edge to intimidate a ref to rescind their calls.

The Truth
fukk Embiid but his ass wasn’t going to do shyt to her.

He was throwing a tantrum. I think they both were being stupid af

But they also need to show the clip of Nick Nurse losing his shyt on the sidelines too, and needing to be held back from her before this play.

Thats why she went to him saying she fukked up. She been fukking up all game

I agree with ejecting him for getting too close to a ref in general. I don’t agree with the extra sauce because she’s a female referee. If we’re gonna play that game then male refs should officiate NBA games, and female refs should officiate WNBA games.
Players and refs jaw at each other all the time.

Except they are.

They're taking one woman's opinion and running wild with it, hence the tone and nature of their posts where they can get off their women-hating bullshyt. We have multiple posters coming in here saying how women shouldn't be anywhere near the NBA. The large majority of posters who come into this thread wouldn't have even heard what Stephanie Ready said in the first place, yet it still hasn't stopped them from using the thread title as a means to be outraged thinking there was some grand narrative being run about how there's accusations of Embiid trying to assault her.

Nobody has accused him of anything.

Proving my point that the real sensationalism is actually coming from the side that is trying to speak women's outrage over this into existence.

In regards to the issue that Stephanie perceives, well, I think that's an entirely different argument to the one that's being presented with this thread, and it's a lot more nuanced than a lot of cats on here are willing to discuss, for obvious reasons.
