I don’t know anything about Sarver’s politics. This guy in basically his first public appearance trots it out there to make a statement.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 2:24 amI've never cared about Sarver's politics, just the way he treats people. I'll think of the next person in his position, if there is one, the same way.
If the statement is that he’s not racist like Sarver, then he can trot it out there all he wants.SunsRIt wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 3:21 amI don’t know anything about Sarver’s politics.

I've never taken issue with Kaepernick and taking a stand the way he has. I've also never taken offense by athletes that don't stand for the national anthem. But I know there are also a ton of people that hate Kaepernick and when athletes don't stand.

Agreed, but the fact that they’ve just quietly removed the video and ignored it is what makes me think there’s a chance it’s a real story.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 9:31 pmIn which case he should be reprimanded for it and ESPN should issue a retraction. It's extremely irresponsible for someone in his position to make a false claim like that.
I don't know whether Rose's story is true or untrue, but why would they remove the video if it were true and important? Doesn't the removal come across as more of a retraction, a stepping away from the statement?Split T wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 10:38 pmAgreed, but the fact that they’ve just quietly removed the video and ignored it is what makes me think there’s a chance it’s a real story.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Sun Nov 07, 2021 9:31 pmIn which case he should be reprimanded for it and ESPN should issue a retraction.

If it was part of the original story and was in a draft, but ESPN lawyers couldn't get enough corroboration to stand behind it, I can see them taking it down and not saying anything about it.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 7:49 amI don't know whether Rose's story is true or untrue, but why would they remove the video if it were true and important?

I took it as implied message to not offering the max to Ayton was treating him that way. I didn’t think of it as something he explicitly said.
I think this is the most likely explanation. The first time I heard it, I didn't think of it as reporting. But when all the buzz started, that influenced my opinion.Drewsprocket wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:21 amI took it as implied message to not offering the max to Ayton was treating him that way.

Ya this is what I was thinking…It is possible Jalen was just implying something like Drewspocket said…but it’s just a very detailed accusation and is told in the same breath as another incident that did happen and was in the article. Seems weird that Jalen would just make that accusation if it wasn’t something he had heard.Indy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:06 amIf it was part of the original story and was in a draft, but ESPN lawyers couldn't get enough corroboration to stand behind it, I can see them taking it down and not saying anything about it.Mori Chu wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 7:49 amI don't know whether Rose's story is true or untrue, but why would they remove the video if it were true and important?

It sounds like it happened in a Zoom meeting? Maybe he didn't know his mic was on? I guess it was deleted from the story for some reason."Because what happens with, when they have their owner meetings, and they have everyone in the room, or in this case, on zoom, and the owners are very specific to, and very in tune with what the image is of the league, and how other owners and how they are being perceived. [...] There's certain owners that other guys simply do not respond to, and there are even female owners as we've seen. [...] I can tell you that there is, one of the reports that's gonna drop, one of the parts of this report with Sarver, is a very damning statement made against another female owner."
