Nah man, couldn't disagree with this take more.
It's not your place to say what KD or Kyrie or Westbrook or Ryan Leaf or anyone on earth should or shouldn't respond to, because the inverse of that philosophy is what the media uses to control the narratives and the people: basically, their truths are unimpeachable, and the parameters that they set around the discussion need to be adhered to. MEANING, the media (or in this case SAS) are able to criticize Russel Westbrook with impunity because he's an athlete and that's what he signed up for. But he didn't sign up for that. Damn, if these players banded together and started a website where they dished on these reporters, and all the fukkery they've been into with them. You know Bonny Bernstein? They call her Bonny Blowjob, or they used to, I'm older than a lot of you pups on here, but these journos been sucking and fukking to get a scoop, then turn around and say "welp, I can say whatever I want because these players agreed to this lifestyle." Turn this shyt around, I want Bron out here talking about how hes raw in Rachel Nichols at a moments notice with a DM, and "thats the life she chose so lets put it on blast."
The media is one head of the same hydra, the same people that own these teams, you know who they are. You should, at least, by now. Micheal Rappaport is one of them. Look how comfortable he is tearing KD apart, like it's nothing.
Look at DeShaun Watson. What do you think is really going on there? I mean for real?
Put 2 and 2 together and start seeing how these people move.
He's trying (or was trying) to do what Lebron did in the NBA. That's what no one's talking about anymore. He was about to change the calculus of NFL free agency, by saying "QB makes the NFL world go round, and I don't like what you've done for me in Houston, so trade me." He wanted to bring in his guy at coach, at GM, he was basically saying, "If you say QB has all this power, I'm going to use this power." It's a hop skip and a jump from there to an era of super teams.
It's always about money with these people-who-should-be-wearing-stars. What did Lebron do in the NBA? Really go burn one down and go for a walk and think about what he did. In a lot of ways, he ruined it. Not in a way that I think is bad, necessarily, but he exposed the flaw in player movement that was never accounted for before. He put the AGENCY in free agency. He colluded with his fellow employees and built a "super team." And what that did is immediately divide the NBA into class warfare. Now, you're either a super team that can win a championship, or youre NOT. And the only way to become a super team is to gut your roster, bottom out, acquire assets, and hope and pray for luck. That recipe? That's cancer to a casual fan watching TV. New Orleans v Memphis on a Tuesday night means nothing to the NBA anymore, or to TV partners, or to arena lease holders, or anyone else. They'll cover the valuations on all these, and negotiate new TV deals in such a way to make it look like these losses aren't as big as they are, but the quality of the NBA has cratered and you better fukking believe the lawyers and businessmen that own the teams and run the league know exactly why.
So Deshaun was about to pull this stunt on the NFL. Basically start branding franchises as "good" or "bad", and handpick like Klutch who he wanted. And the NFL collectively colluded to put an end to that shyt real quick. Trying to throw you off the scent too in the most blatantly obvious manner, with some circus clown lawyer FROM HOUSTON so it looks like its the Texans trying to tank his value, when really its the NFL owners trying to tank his ambition.
I was watching the Ohio State game in March Madness and I see a kid miss some game winning shots or whatever, and man, cut back to the studio and these guys are just relentlessly tearing this kid apart. "Bad shot" "Dumb shot" on and on. This kid... kid im telling you, KID, amateur athlete... is out there, quarantining during a pandemic, pulled out of school for a month, unpaid, so the NCAA can do what? Get their TV deal. And that's the fukking deal that they have with TV, so SAS and these clowns can spew hot takes and keep these uppity athletes marginalized and quieted. The machine exists to perpetuate the machine, and any subversive elements are stamped out and branded as untouchable.
Westbrook? Ornery and mean, underachiever. Kyrie? Crazy. KD? Emotionally unstable. Deshaun Watson? Pervert.
These are character assaults. That's all they are. There's nothing criminal here. It's just people hating on people for the sake of keeping people oppressed.
fukking line up for your shots, obey, say what gets you upvotes on reddit, do what youre told, dont step out of line.
How can anyone defend these satanic fukks? They're as old as civilization and still up to their same old tricks.
Wake the fukk up.
Forget it, I typed a whole paragraph and you just bolded one small part. It’s cool whatever. 
. It is what’s wrong with NBA media, instead of talking about the game, the analyst is talking about all other shyt that doesn’t matter. Talk about the current season, the game. Even then he would ignore how wizards had injuries, COVID to deal with.
