Superstar
Malika Andrews a foul c00n for this
Josh Kiddey next on that summer jam screen, oh lawd…
- Thread starter High quality poster
- Start date
Is it though or is that what you'd like to believe so that it suits your narrative? Giddey isn't this superstar player worth protecting contrary to popular belief.
Obviously ESPN is telling talent not to discuss the story on air, so it's weird that people are blaming Malika when we've seen before in where they've dictated what talent can and can't discuss on air.
Minor has already been doxxed. News outlets can still report on the issue without mentioning the name of the minor or showing images of her.
I certainly don't think protecting the minor has ever been in the MO of these news outlets. If it is newsworthy they report it regardless.
So the question becomes, why is the Giddey story not newsworthy.

When has there ever been a scandal like this that the internet is talking about heavily but the mainstream media isn’t even whispering on? It would be different if this was a lowkey story that was under the radar, but reporters know about it enough to ask Giddey and the coach about it at practice and for them to say “no comment”.
This isn’t like KP’s rape allegation which got buried because people wasn’t talking about it, and stayed buried years later. Though there is a common denominator of whiteness.
It’s a double standard. Ime had an affair and they dragged that man to the point people didn’t think he was going to get another coaching job. Yet not one is talking about Giddey. It doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
You sure about that because the media did the exact same thing with the Ime situation in not revealing the identity of the person or barely even covering the story even when it was obvious who the person was. This is not the type of story you can report on and then do TV segments asking how will it affect the Thunder going forward as it's in poor taste and easy criticism and even you know that.
The answer to your question is to ask Silver and the NBA because it's obvious that they are pulling strings behind the scenes to bury the story.

Them not talking about the woman he had an affair with didn’t keep them from talking about Ime.
It's a difference between an affair between adults and a situation involving a minor. It's literally a sports entertainment network. What do you want them to do? Talk about the situation and devote TV segments as to how it will affect the Thunder going forward? Even you know they'd face major criticism for it.
Obviously, ESPN and the NBA are telling talent to not discuss the topic publicly so it makes no sense why blame is being put on Malika for that very reason.
That's a topic you discuss on SC, which they did and keep it moving.
I disagree with you there. I think the Ime story was extensively covered in the media, but the identity of the women was secret. When the correct woman's identity was finally revealed, the media still covered the story without specifically mentioning her or showing her image.
That speaks to my point, if the story is there the media will cover it. So why isn't the story being covered now? It can't just be, "because she is a minor".
Who says they aren't? Just because they aren't discussing the topic on air doesn't mean that they aren't discussing it at all.
Posters gotta start doing their research before commenting as ESPN literally has articles on their website and Youtube page about it.
Dudes are in here talking if they want ESPN to devote TV segments to discussing the topic and going into TV segments about it.
Malika gets scrutiny because she will call out discretions in players, usually black players at very odd points, even if that person was found to be not guilty. If she did it once it would be a coincidence but she has done it at least three times that I count.
When does investigative reporting stop and the semblance of a specific agenda begin?

And whose to say that ESPN didn't give her the greenlight to do so? That's my point. If ESPN didn't want her discussing those topics on air, then she wouldn't be doing so.
You know what, you are right. They may be talking about it in other forms of media. The story is still early out. Let's see how things look by the end of the week.
Well we still come back to the original suggestion. If ESPN don't want her to discuss it then what's their agenda?
As a black woman is Malika happy to play the role of ESPN's attack dog? Q
Of course she is just like Rachel Nichols was perfectly willing to do so. I mentioned months ago that she was starting to exhibit traits that Nichols did.
I just don't think this is one topic they want talent discussing publicly due to it involving a minor and the fact that it's poor taste to discuss it in a sports manner.
Let SC handle it as they can easily discuss the topic and move on to the next subject without it delving into a round table discussion.
