NBA Off Topic Thread

. It’s possible that both sides messed up but one has publicly cheated on his wife, a complete breach of trust, committed a workplace misdemeanor and manages to be suspended for about 6 weeks before getting one of the most high profile jobs in the world. The other has people on the internet saying “shouldn’t have let him smash”. That’s not a fair result

I don’t disagree with the rest of your post but the female also publicly cheated on her husband, a complete breach of trust, committed a workplace misdemeanor and to my knowledge, unlike Ime, faced no suspension or firing.

Because one person here said the words “shouldn’t have let him smash” doesn’t mean a good chunk of the internet isn’t also isn’t bashing Ime as well. And because he’s a high profile individual the amount of backlash he’s actually getting is 10x her. You have to specially dig google to even find her name, Ime has been blasted all over the internet, TV, ever since this happened. And because of who his GF is “wow can’t believe he really did that to HER” while nobody gives a **** about this lady cheating on her man and their 3 children.

For the rest of your post being sorta even-keeled this last bit was randomly one-sided for two people who supposedly did the same thing.

Wife/girlfriend/fiancée, doesn’t matter. Still a long *** relationship of over a decade, with a kid involved, still a ****ty thing to do. That’s not the point

Again, consent is variable. Consent can be given under duress, by definition. Legally, coercion rules out consent, but this isn’t a legal matter

And again, we’ll never know the extent to which consent even applies here. Who is telling us it was consensual?

The point I’m making is we don’t know what happened and speculation doesn’t help, regardless of which side of the fence you’re on because it just leads to some misogynistic ****. It always goes this way, always. They might both be genuinely bad people for what they’ve done, but we’re only ever going to hear one side’s story and a raft of support for that person from prominent people, right?

Whichever of the 30 articles you click on google is telling us it’s consensual. Was it? Idk but we don’t currently have a reason to assume otherwise.

Let’s say it wasn’t.. explain what the gain is here from her side of this? This isn’t somebody in the corporate world working in payables sleeping with the CFO who can promote her, fire her, give her more/less work, give her a raise, a bigger bonus, etc. What was Ime going to do in this specific example? Tell upper management to promote the teams service manager from booking flights up to an assistant coach role to join him on the bench?

I don’t feel like this has been the case with this example at all. He’s received basically all the backlash, and the massive majority of the twitter/internet reactions and jokes have been something along the lines of “wow I can’t believe he would cheat on Nia Long”. I’m not sure where we’ve been hearing one side of a story, or a raft of support because there hasn’t been a story for anybody to support. Or how the female has gotten the worse end of this. Everything that’s been released has just stated a consensual relationship, that didn’t last long, with both of them trying to fix their relationships with their husband/GF.

The whole predator thing that started this discussion is actually the first time I’ve seen/heard of anybody blame either side for anything more than what we we’ve been told. And that’s definitely not falling into the category of what you’re saying in this quote.

****, I gave him crap because of who he cheated on. I haven’t seen the other person involved but I’m going to assume she’s not badder than Nia Long and I feel pretty confident in that because…well, there’s not too many women badder than her.

Who he ****s ain’t my business and don’t really care who he did ****.

Now do I think he needs to be blackballed from coaching? I said at the time “no” and still believe that now. Do I think he’s some sort of pervert/creep/monster/etc? I don’t but I also know it’s not as black/white as it may seem especially when you have two parties here who allegedly both ****ed up(one probably lost her marriage while the other one’s relationship is going to remain in tact, luckily for him).

I read that they weren't really together together and that they were just partners to raise their kid. Kind of an open relationship, so cheating on that end might not even be a thing.

Cheating isn’t as black/white as people think(speaking strictly for bf/gf relationships). I know we like to believe “Oh, you cheated on me, we’re finished!” is how it should be…but it’s not.

Now cheating while married…that’s generally considered more “worse” in society.

That it happened (allegedly) more than once and nothing was done is deplorable.

At the same time we do have to give the accused an opportunity to respond and their possible day in court.

I am a bit shocked that the therapist continued to see Primo, if he was constantly exposing himself and nothing was coming of it. Wouldn't you ask to be reassigned or have a male therapist see him instead?

Also, doesn't it create a ethical conundrum that you were treating someone (likely with emotional issues/trauma) and are now exposing them to harsh criticism/public humiliation?

Re: NBA Off Topic Thread

I have my own too racy for OS theory as to the what and why we are where we are now with the whole Ime situation.

All I do know for sure is stop sleeping with coworkers, more specifically when a relationship exists for either party. Make a mess of your personal life on your own time. Don’t bring the drama in the workplace. Now innocent people you work with are inconvenienced.

In the Celtics instance we now have players having to answer questions, play under a new coach. One giant unavoidable distraction.

Sometimes the power is too much. If she says something. She loses her job. She might have fear for her life. The other thing is maybe she did speak up and no one did anything.


She will also experience the same public humiliation as him. Probably worst. I've already found all her online accounts and the trash is starting to come in.

Honestly the intelligence of some of these dudes has to come into question sometimes. Given the time that this was happening I’m sure Deshawn Watson’s situation was already up to 22 names

A wardrobe malfunction my dude what was you wearing for this therapy session

Let's hear the 9 different wardrobe malfunction excuses....

But if she has proof of emails she's sent complaining about it during those 9 times, that's definitely way worse for the entire organization as the fault is even more on them for not acting on it for almost a year.

Then you have to wonder why they didn't act until now? Did the supposed incident in Minnesota cause them to act? Or worse, they didn't want to do it last year since he was a lottery pick, but he hasn't made a big leap so far this season so they felt like it won't hurt the team as much vs if he was some big star
