It's their prerogative to do so. They extol the Biblical ideal of thou shalt not commit adultery. If everyone followed this, morally speaking, we'd be in a much better place.
Love kwame brown but his contention with Steven A Smith was he criticized black athletes too much. Basically you can’t talk any black athlete because Chad Wheeler once did something. Maybe black Americans just don’t like to be criticized.
This is a NO/NO at any corporate organization...even in the military...when a boss and subordinate situation is involved...People GAMBLE and do it all the time but be ready to pay the price when you get caught...Mr. Udoka knew the corporate rules but made the UNWISE decision to jeopardize his engagement and his career...He will learn from this unfortunate situation and he will rebound...

Im with Stephen A here.. Because this is involving a personal relationship it is none of nobody business this is not a reality tv show. and to suspend him for 40 games it has to be more than just they are having sex. if so then say that don't make it seem like your organization is so high and mighty and that yall stick to every single policy nahh. This is just wrong to do that to this man because im sure he's not the only one in that organization thats sleeping with the staff

My guess is that the Celtics are trying to prevent lawsuits. We all know how it is in the workplace. We just aren't supposed to talk about it. And to Stephen A. Just cause white men are doing it to doesn't make it right.
Stephen A Smith had his blackness taking from him by T.O when he said Max was blacker than him. Now any chance Stephen A get to try to be super black, he'll do it. He knows if ppl are calling him a race hustler, he'll smile because it means he's getting his black card back. Stephen A has to make everything racial because he's trying to get his black card back. T.O damaged this boy forever.
No such thing is trying to be black or trying to be white which you're born as is a race is what you are there's no such thing the black guy living in Alaska is just as black as the guy living in South Central Los Angeles or Jackson Mississippi race is not something you're trying to be it's something you're born as
@Josh Allen is The next Elway... yeah that’s why the punishment so servere. Also there might be another higher up wife as well so 2 in total. I’m sure more will come out in the next couple of days.
The Coach IS Not married to NIA LONG...He violated the policy ....does he deserve to be punished .. yes. Suspension at the detriment to the team's chemistry? Nah. Pay for the transgression, move on.
Law 38: Think as you like but behave like others If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness. Law 32: Play to people’s fantasies The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes from disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.
Steve Kim is missing the point regarding Brett Farve.. They're talking about the time he trolled that femaie sports reporter not the collusion with the Governor of Louisiana and the illegal donations to his charity which is criminal.
Udoka is one of the best coaches in the NBA. The Celtics have just handed a very talented employee to The San Antonio Spurs or oKC Thunder. Udoka is not married.
You sound like a whole single mother of you can’t see what’s wrong with his actions. Your baby daddy must have conditioned you to accept lesser standards honey.
So if Boston decided behind the scenes to suspend their coach for the year and kept it under wraps until preseason gm 1 or opening night and he's not on the bench Stephen A would be livid about how the hell did we not know this prior to camp or seasons start!!! So an employee can't be disciplined without losing their job according to Smith. I dont understand
Do you really think they are going to bring him back after a year? They should’ve just fired him and moved on. Or fined him a chunk of money and kept this internal
That’s Stephen A’s ENTIRE POINT! If this were Brad Stevens - we wouldn’t even know why or have details! They’d say “He’s being suspended due to inappropriate conduct” or something to that effect! That’s what happens to white players, execs and. coaches. Still doesn’t explain why YOU, the larger sports media and mainstream news media - HAVE NOT COVERED BRETT FAVRE!!!
Jason, I used to watch you when you were a reporter in KC, many years ago...I actually met you at Allen Field House during a morning session of 810am (I was a Lawrence PD officer, and brought you donuts...lol).

The celtics were very right to have this publicised. Imagine the season starts, and we see a Joe Masshulla coaching the celtics instead of Udoka. Then eyebrows would have been raised, and the big question then would have been, why is IME UDOKA not coaching this team?
Please correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Phil Jackson smashing Jeannie Buss while he was coaching the lakers? Consensually? No problem there? She’s the team owner and he’s her subordinate right? SMDH😂😂😂
Bryan, you look too old to be making such a lazy point. Jeanie and Phil were dating for several years before she took over the lakers after the passing of her father. Furthermore, they were public about their relationship. Smh…facts still matter
Great show Jason. Delano was outstanding and the female contributors were a great contribution as well. Your fearlessness was evident in your brief comment referencing why for instance, Stephen A. rants so often about race. With regard to monogamy and most all problems with humans, many of us may need to learn the hard way that if we don't treat everyone fairly, we poison the environment for all, including ourselves and those we're trying to protect.
Espn rating are down because when you turn on Espn it's not about sports anymore. It's more like watching Beverley Hills 90210 or the women of VIEW. Like I said somone with a lot of money who love sports needs to rescue Espn from Disney and let Espn go back to being a sports show about sports.
This suspension of Udoka was payback for the star players refusing to accept the fine and suspension handed down by the league of the Suns/Mercury owner. This is the league telling the black players “we still run this league”.
The biggest story is the Brett Farve situation if there is equal justice in this country wink wink he have some Federal Prison time to do I'm talking about 10 years or more

Every corporate entity had its rules concerning this issue...If it was in the contract to not fraternize with a subordinate when you are in a position of LEADERSHIP, you CANNOT date anyone in a subordinate position...If the relationship goes south and the subordinate decides to go nuclear and file a sexual harassment claim, this will cause a chaotic HR and liability issue for that corporation... I have a friend who became a new manager and this was one of the first courses that he was mandated to take...The first thing the big boss told him and the other new managers that if they broke these rules, he told them, before he would fire them, that he was going to ask them only one question...WAS IT THAT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE WORTH IT??? BROTHERS...We cannot let little Billie THINK for big Billie...
Stephen a is more full of shit than a Christmas turkey and the only reason he acted the way was because it was a black gentleman who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and they have every right to suspend him since he is their face bobby petrino was fired from a college over the same thing but Stephen a didn't act like that then he's a joke and so is ESPN
Mr. Whitlock, I can’t stress enough my appreciation for the balance and soberness you handle this topic with, as well as many other delicate issues that you analyze and debate in your program, you are one of the few bright minds that I enjoy to listen to in this internet chaos. Concerning this case, the point that everybody seems to avoid is: the Boston Celtics are a privately owned corporation and they are not obliged to provide any explanation, details or justification to anyone, unless they wish to. Despite of all those self-entitled barking tv pundits that make a living by “reacting to” whatever happens in the sport world and regardless of how loud they bark or how emphatically they elevate themselves to some self-appointed censorship position or how highly does any stupid TH-camr think of one’s own anonymous podcast. No matter how morbid the urge to know, the Celtics owe no explanation to anyone outside the parts involved and the actors hired to handle the matter, eventually the authorities, should the case require that. That’s all it is.
Whenever a black person is in the news for the wrong reasons it's like throwing blood in shark infested waters for Jason Whitlock. I noticed you still hasn't said a word about Brett Favre, but that doesn't surprise me one bit The self-hatred is strong with this one.
Why is Smith always yelling? Is Steve on again? Great. There were a lot of interactions between the Army in this episode. Fantastic. Jill and tiffany in the studio are always a nice sight. Beauty and great takes. Shemeka is always bringing the heat. We all love her for that. No punches were pulled or are ever pulled. Delano is the best. If he was on 5 times a week, our heads would explode with his viewpoints. God bless Jason, Jill Steve, Shemeka, Tiffany, and Delano..
Stephen A is literally a cartoon character at this place. That being said a year suspension is ridiculous. 20 games MAX and move on would be more appropriate.
All three of those lady's on the show today would be a fantastic example of what kind of a woman ANY man should be looking for! Smart, tough, a bit worldly, confident, and not to sound sexist! Beautiful!
Stephen Smith often complained in the past about the number of few black head coaches. This is why he is responding to the Boston Celtics story in this way.
This suspension was feminist appeasement. They wanna spin it into the man in power preys on a poor hapless little girl. The problem is they both said it was consensual so this should be a giant nothing burger. As far as making it into a racial thing, I’ll take room temperature IQ for $100 Alex.
1. IME is repped by CAA 2. Suspension with no pay means no $$$ to CAA or IME this year 3. A lingering suspension makes IME look toxic + hurts his future earnings 4. CAA wants IME to get fired so they can collect the 2yrs left on the contract 5. CAA will try its best to pressure Boston into firing IME but will probably eventually settle with a resignation 6. CAA clients: Woj, Steven A Smith, Jay Williams. They broke this and have been universally anti-Boston throughout the process. They will continue with the pressure and will keep having ESPN blare out "Consensual Relationship" instead of what Wyc said in the press conf "MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS", while also trying to smear the woman, Brad, Wyc, Boston/Race trope
They are taking a corporate stand. They don’t want to get sued in the future. They should have fired him right away. It’s much cleaner than this soap opera
Something is fishy about this story. It seem like they could of kept this in-house but they chose to leak the details. Maybe they want him out of the organization for other reasons (wink wink). To suspend the HEAD coach for a whole season even after he took the team to the finals is ridiculous. Frankly that's bad business to jeopardize the team's success over two consenting adults.
It comes down 👇 to KEEPING ON THE DOWN LOW. Nobody should've known besides the 2 consenting adults. Mfs be snitching on themselves SO they gotta pay the price. He got suspended SHE should get fired!
Exactly these 3 people have said they wrote stories or pieces with white coaches. Don't tell.me what others did if your job as journalist when you can't show your reciets. I wrote these piece or this story
Whitlock has never been an intimidating feature or factor!!! The producers on this show is doing this he's reading his script but says it's authentic like reading from a teleprompter they watch all the shows early make their point then they come afterwards and blend in their Caucasian black point afterwards I figured it out they come on after all the shows so they can critique whatever a positive black male had to say about anything!!! Can't say it's not all with like it's the producers with them too but I see the big picture like a drone looking down on these people cutting up the African-American athlete and the community stop it!!!!!

It's their prerogative to do so. They extol the Biblical ideal of thou shalt not commit adultery. If everyone followed this, morally speaking, we'd be in a much better place.
Probably wasn't fired because he isn't married.
@@carlfrye1566OH, he is fired. And he will never coach again in the NBA
Love kwame brown but his contention with Steven A Smith was he criticized black athletes too much. Basically you can’t talk any black athlete because Chad Wheeler once did something. Maybe black Americans just don’t like to be criticized.
Isn't that what happens anyway. Also, how do you know what black athlete's think?
New sub Jason. Great take on this whole story. For the Celtics to hire an outside law firm to investigate...there is a lot more to this story.
Dave Chapelle said it best. Chilvary is dead and women killed it. Truer words have never been spoken.
Udoeka must have left his drawers at his boss's house 😄
"EVERY" decision we make HAS a consequence, whether it be good or not good.
This is a NO/NO at any corporate organization...even in the military...when a boss and subordinate situation is involved...People GAMBLE and do it all the time but be ready to pay the price when you get caught...Mr. Udoka knew the corporate rules but made the UNWISE decision to jeopardize his engagement and his career...He will learn from this unfortunate situation and he will rebound...

You know how hard those Japanese names are to say.
It is great to hear the debates on this show. Keep up the good work Jason and team.
Im with Stephen A here.. Because this is involving a personal relationship it is none of nobody business this is not a reality tv show. and to suspend him for 40 games it has to be more than just they are having sex. if so then say that don't make it seem like your organization is so high and mighty and that yall stick to every single policy nahh. This is just wrong to do that to this man because im sure he's not the only one in that organization thats sleeping with the staff
It's not a moral issue. It's a huge liability issue for the organization. Especially in today's culture, Isiah Thomas had a similar thing when he was with the Knicks and the woman sued and was awarded a $12mil judgment
@@clydefrog203 because women LIE..All of a sudden he made unwanted moves on that chick because the story got leaked
@@shinsukecorbin425 granted I think the "unwanted advances" thing was claimed before the leak, but yes women do lie, which is why companies take these workplace relationships so seriously, bcuz a court will side with a woman most often over these workplace harassment cases
What if Ime got the staff worker pregnant...especially now that Roe vs. Wade has been overturned...The one year suspension is bc he is going to be a dad again in a few months and that's why her name is not announced so that she can have the baby and have time to get divorced from the vp of the celtics at the same time....
What don’t you get about the liability exposure?
Jason butchered the shit out of his name
My guess is that the Celtics are trying to prevent lawsuits. We all know how it is in the workplace. We just aren't supposed to talk about it. And to Stephen A. Just cause white men are doing it to doesn't make it right.
True. So if that's the case let's get them too..?
The women on this show have no idea how much they are a distraction to men in the workplace. They can't comprehend what Whitlock is espousing.
Stephen A Smith had his blackness taking from him by T.O when he said Max was blacker than him. Now any chance Stephen A get to try to be super black, he'll do it. He knows if ppl are calling him a race hustler, he'll smile because it means he's getting his black card back. Stephen A has to make everything racial because he's trying to get his black card back. T.O damaged this boy forever.
There's no such thing as a black card
T.O. needs to say the same thing to Whitlock, maybe it'll snap him out of his Stephen from Django trance.
No such thing is trying to be black or trying to be white which you're born as is a race is what you are there's no such thing the black guy living in Alaska is just as black as the guy living in South Central Los Angeles or Jackson Mississippi race is not something you're trying to be it's something you're born as

Getting suspended for a year for a side piece? Come on man
Exactly - something fishy here. There's got to be more to this than standard HR issues.
Apparently it’s the wife of the VP
@Josh Allen is The next Elway... yeah that’s why the punishment so servere. Also there might be another higher up wife as well so 2 in total. I’m sure more will come out in the next couple of days.
@@TriniDB so are they going to talk about power dynamics now 😂
its retarded
The Coach IS Not married to NIA LONG...He violated the policy ....does he deserve to be punished .. yes. Suspension at the detriment to the team's chemistry?
Nah. Pay for the transgression, move on.
Law 38: Think as you like but behave like others
If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.
Law 32: Play to people’s fantasies
The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes from disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert: Everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.
Steve Kim is missing the point regarding Brett Farve.. They're talking about the time he trolled that femaie sports reporter not the collusion with the Governor of Louisiana and the illegal donations to his charity which is criminal.
Governor of Mississippi
Jason your not dumb, This is just about the brother, There are several white guys get away with things. You really don't like your people Jason.
Ohh… so when your wrong just go to whataboutism
But nobody talking about this woman and she is married to someone in the organization why ain't nobody talking about she's cheating on her husband
I would like to hear Stephen A's take on the Isiah Thomas Knicks sexual harassment lawsuit from 2006. I bet it was a lot different than this.
Just fire him he will have another job in 5 minutes. Blows my mind all these hypocrites
I actually agree with Stephen A Smith. This wasn't supposed to make headlines.
I tend to agree but this somehow leaked. But I have to think there more to the story.
@@soda8736 it has to be more to the story
Udoka is one of the best coaches in the NBA. The Celtics have just handed a very talented employee to The San Antonio Spurs or oKC Thunder. Udoka is not married.
You sound like a whole single mother of you can’t see what’s wrong with his actions. Your baby daddy must have conditioned you to accept lesser standards honey.
So if Boston decided behind the scenes to suspend their coach for the year and kept it under wraps until preseason gm 1 or opening night and he's not on the bench Stephen A would be livid about how the hell did we not know this prior to camp or seasons start!!! So an employee can't be disciplined without losing their job according to Smith. I dont understand
Do you really think they are going to bring him back after a year? They should’ve just fired him and moved on. Or fined him a chunk of money and kept this internal
Whitlock says he doesn't follow social media but he seems to know all the posts and tweets. Whitlock hammock has a burner account.
"The f'n you get, ain't worth the f'n you get."
This cat is a clown, that's why you not on TV anymore..
I haven't seen anyone bring up race in this story except Whitlock right now
Sas
This crew needs to hear the Patrice O’Neal Salmon and Bear joke. Perfectly describes the workplace in this country between men and women.
You speak the truth Jason. You are a courageous journalist.
That’s Stephen A’s ENTIRE POINT! If this were Brad Stevens - we wouldn’t even know why or have details! They’d say “He’s being suspended due to inappropriate conduct” or something to that effect! That’s what happens to white players, execs and. coaches. Still doesn’t explain why YOU, the larger sports media and mainstream news media - HAVE NOT COVERED BRETT FAVRE!!!
It this is isn’t brad stevens
Just give Ime Udoka a warning and fire the women. The head coach is far more important to the franchise than a staff member
The staff member was involved with the staff member.
@@fxfxwc Yeah but one is far more important than the other. It's easy to replace some random VP of athlete performance or whatever she was
@@KidoMMA23 It was a play on words: staff member=penis=egg plant
Jason, I used to watch you when you were a reporter in KC, many years ago...I actually met you at Allen Field House during a morning session of 810am (I was a Lawrence PD officer, and brought you donuts...lol). You have really evolved as a reporter and a fair and impartial journalist!! I enjoy your views and appreciate you keeping race out of sports, unless it's justifiable! I've seen you recently on FOX news too and I am a fan! Keep up the great work Jason!!

The celtics were very right to have this publicised.
Imagine the season starts, and we see a Joe Masshulla coaching the celtics instead of Udoka.
Then eyebrows would have been raised, and the big question then would have been, why is IME UDOKA not coaching this team?
The uncle ruckus show white people can do no wrong 🤣🤣🤣
Stephen A is just a paid ESPN clown.
You must be jealous 😏
Please correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Phil Jackson smashing Jeannie Buss while he was coaching the lakers? Consensually? No problem there? She’s the team owner and he’s her subordinate right? SMDH😂😂😂
Great point!
Yeah but Jeannie and him were both single. Apparently Ime messed around with the VP wife and maybe another higher up wife
Wow! I forgot about that! Interesting!! Workplace Romance!
Bryan, you look too old to be making such a lazy point. Jeanie and Phil were dating for several years before she took over the lakers after the passing of her father. Furthermore, they were public about their relationship. Smh…facts still matter
@@Thewu168 I said correct me if I’m wrong 😂; and thanks for the compliment 😂
ESPN is trying to go out of business
I lean more towards Kim's reason for Stephen A's behavior. I was going to type that just before he said it.
It is NOT too much to expect a man to be monogamous.
Great show Jason. Delano was outstanding and the female contributors were a great contribution as well. Your fearlessness was evident in your brief comment referencing why for instance, Stephen A. rants so often about race. With regard to monogamy and most all problems with humans, many of us may need to learn the hard way that if we don't treat everyone fairly, we poison the environment for all, including ourselves and those we're trying to protect.
So is being racist or letting racist slide good moral standing in Christianity?
Espn rating are down because when you turn on Espn it's not about sports anymore. It's more like watching Beverley Hills 90210 or the women of VIEW. Like I said somone with a lot of money who love sports needs to rescue Espn from Disney and let Espn go back to being a sports show about sports.
This suspension of Udoka was payback for the star players refusing to accept the fine and suspension handed down by the league of the Suns/Mercury owner. This is the league telling the black players “we still run this league”.
The biggest story is the Brett Farve situation if there is equal justice in this country wink wink he have some Federal Prison time to do I'm talking about 10 years or more
He's a Heterosexual......,Do They Also Penalize Homosexual athletic.... Lawyer's Hitting the lottery's Again......it Goes to Court.... eventually. Ouch
She’s So Accurate!
One of the few times I disagreed with you Jason no employer should be snitching on its employees personal life.. if so fire him
Current Celtics player snitched
When they talk about it it's a problem when they don't talk about it it's a problem
Stephen A. Spoke the truth in this instance in my opinion
Every corporate entity had its rules concerning this issue...If it was in the contract to not fraternize with a subordinate when you are in a position of LEADERSHIP, you CANNOT date anyone in a subordinate position...If the relationship goes south and the subordinate decides to go nuclear and file a sexual harassment claim, this will cause a chaotic HR and liability issue for that corporation...
I have a friend who became a new manager and this was one of the first courses that he was mandated to take...The first thing the big boss told him and the other new managers that if they broke these rules, he told them, before he would fire them, that he was going to ask them only one question...WAS IT THAT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE WORTH IT??? BROTHERS...We cannot let little Billie THINK for big Billie...
Stephen a is more full of shit than a Christmas turkey and the only reason he acted the way was because it was a black gentleman who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and they have every right to suspend him since he is their face bobby petrino was fired from a college over the same thing but Stephen a didn't act like that then he's a joke and so is ESPN
is it me or does the Asian guy have a shelf of VHS tapes? and snoopy?
Good to see you losing weight! I haven't watched you in a while, but I see the hard work!
Mr. Whitlock, I can’t stress enough my appreciation for the balance and soberness you handle this topic with, as well as many other delicate issues that you analyze and debate in your program, you are one of the few bright minds that I enjoy to listen to in this internet chaos.
Concerning this case, the point that everybody seems to avoid is: the Boston Celtics are a privately owned corporation and they are not obliged to provide any explanation, details or justification to anyone, unless they wish to.
Despite of all those self-entitled barking tv pundits that make a living by “reacting to” whatever happens in the sport world and regardless of how loud they bark or how emphatically they elevate themselves to some self-appointed censorship position or how highly does any stupid TH-camr think of one’s own anonymous podcast.
No matter how morbid the urge to know, the Celtics owe no explanation to anyone outside the parts involved and the actors hired to handle the matter, eventually the authorities, should the case require that.
That’s all it is.
Stephen A’s co-host must have to wear hearing protection per OSHA regulations.
He prays 🙏 for deafness....when SAS goes into "feminine frame" .
Whenever a black person is in the news for the wrong reasons it's like throwing blood in shark infested waters for Jason Whitlock. I noticed you still hasn't said a word about Brett Favre, but that doesn't surprise me one bit The self-hatred is strong with this one.
Why is Smith always yelling? Is Steve on again? Great. There were a lot of interactions between the Army in this episode. Fantastic. Jill and tiffany in the studio are always a nice sight. Beauty and great takes. Shemeka is always bringing the heat. We all love her for that. No punches were pulled or are ever pulled. Delano is the best. If he was on 5 times a week, our heads would explode with his viewpoints. God bless Jason, Jill Steve, Shemeka, Tiffany, and Delano..
Stephen A is literally a cartoon character at this place.
That being said a year suspension is ridiculous. 20 games MAX and move on would be more appropriate.
Stephen A. is an absolute clown. Half decent actor, but a clown nonetheless
All three of those lady's on the show today would be a fantastic example of what kind of a woman ANY man should be looking for! Smart, tough, a bit worldly, confident, and not to sound sexist! Beautiful!
Stephen Smith often complained in the past about the number of few black head coaches. This is why he is responding to the Boston Celtics story in this way.
It to accuse the Celtics owner of racism is out of line
This suspension was feminist appeasement. They wanna spin it into the man in power preys on a poor hapless little girl. The problem is they both said it was consensual so this should be a giant nothing burger. As far as making it into a racial thing, I’ll take room temperature IQ for $100 Alex.
Exactly 💯 you can't tell me this hasn't happened all the time.
This show helps me think about where my morals are at. Thanks whitlock
WOW! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're in bad shape if Ehitlock is who you need for morals. Whitlock has none.
1. IME is repped by CAA
2. Suspension with no pay means no $$$ to CAA or IME this year
3. A lingering suspension makes IME look toxic + hurts his future earnings
4. CAA wants IME to get fired so they can collect the 2yrs left on the contract
5. CAA will try its best to pressure Boston into firing IME but will probably eventually settle with a resignation
6. CAA clients: Woj, Steven A Smith, Jay Williams. They broke this and have been universally anti-Boston throughout the process. They will continue with the pressure and will keep having ESPN blare out "Consensual Relationship" instead of what Wyc said in the press conf "MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS", while also trying to smear the woman, Brad, Wyc, Boston/Race trope
America has gone woke and has officially signed its own death certificate
Big time
They are taking a corporate stand. They don’t want to get sued in the future. They should have fired him right away. It’s much cleaner than this soap opera
Something is fishy about this story. It seem like they could of kept this in-house but they chose to leak the details. Maybe they want him out of the organization for other reasons (wink wink). To suspend the HEAD coach for a whole season even after he took the team to the finals is ridiculous. Frankly that's bad business to jeopardize the team's success over two consenting adults.
It comes down 👇 to KEEPING ON THE DOWN LOW. Nobody should've known besides the 2 consenting adults. Mfs be snitching on themselves SO they gotta pay the price. He got suspended SHE should get fired!
You ever work anywhere? Bosses aren't supposed to have sex with lower level employees without complete transparency
Coach probably leaked the details to gain leverage
Exactly these 3 people have said they wrote stories or pieces with white coaches. Don't tell.me what others did if your job as journalist when you can't show your reciets. I wrote these piece or this story
Objectively, I agree with Steven A.
Whitlock has never been an intimidating feature or factor!!! The producers on this show is doing this he's reading his script but says it's authentic like reading from a teleprompter they watch all the shows early make their point then they come afterwards and blend in their Caucasian black point afterwards I figured it out they come on after all the shows so they can critique whatever a positive black male had to say about anything!!! Can't say it's not all with like it's the producers with them too but I see the big picture like a drone looking down on these people cutting up the African-American athlete and the community stop it!!!!!
EXACTLY!!!! That is apart of the playbook they use smh
Monogamy is not the norm for wealthy men. It’s just the truth.
