    Between a grown man who owns two professional sports franchises repeatedly berating women employees to the point of tears, punishing female employees for being pregnant, sexually harassing female and male employees, and repeated using the n-word at work despite being told each time to stop it and it's inappropriate.... and a 17 year old football player in a hick town tweeting the n-word?

    You need me to explain the difference?

    Seriously. What Seaver’s words were certainly worse than Masturbating until climax on the bodies of at least 24 women who did not consent. And Sarver’s word were 250 times worse than that homophobic scumbag Anthony Edwards who only published his derogatory and offensive slurs to millions of people on the internet. Because Sarver was fined $10 million compared to Edwards $40k.

    I do not give a shit about Sarver any more than care about Watson and Edwards. Fuck them all. Put them on the street and make them earn a living blowing truckers in Oklahoma. But Watson has millions of supporters and Cursing out gays is part of the NBAPA collective bargaining agreement. Duck them all or none.

    Is what Sarver did more disrespectful to Blacks than what Watson did is disrespectful to women?

    Engaging the board racist earnestly is one way to go, I suppose.

    Watson actually physically harmed 24 women with actual sexual oppression. It’s not just disrespectful x there’s actual harm. Actual oppression. Imagine having someone ejaculate on your daughters face compared with merely saying that they would. What’s worse.

    I’m not arguing for Sarver. Fuck him. His behavior is inexcusable. Employees aren’t property. But Fuck Watson. He’s pure evil. What he did is animalistic. Bounce his ass from the league. Or don’t punish him at all. And it’s tim the NBA treat their homophobia with the same deep seated hatred that they treat allegations of racism.

    Forget what Allen's age was. That doesn't matter. Or shouldn't. He wasn't 8. If you were interviewing him for a job, and you went back through his Twitter and found that, would you hire him? No. Nor would anyone else, unless they shared his affinity for racist behavior and belief. He was old enough to know what he was doing and old to know he was wrong. And old enough that those beliefs were probably well established. ... As for the other stuff, compare Sarver to Deshaun Watson (among others). Same thing. Exactly. Guys who can ball can say and do whatever the fuck they want and the media (you?) will pretend like it never happened. So, no. I don't need you to explain the difference. Because you can't. I can. One is an irreplaceable athlete. The other isn't.

    There's a lot of dumb here, so I'll just focus on one thing:

    If your argument is based on pretending that the media has ignored Deshaun Watson, your argument is pathetic.

    What's the dumb, Mr. Genius? Everything I said is 100 percent accurate. The athletes don't have to follow rules and have different sets of standards. Are you seriously denying this? And I'm dumb? Christ.

    And Watson hasn't fucking played yet since his shit happened. Wait til he does. The media forgot Kobe Bryant raped a girl for the rest of his career, then cannonized him when he died. It's what the media does.
