light em up Chris this is good shit man

"As a person, she's kind, considerate, tough as hell, and resilient. If you don't know enough about Holly's career, this might be an opportunity to learn more because the ugliness of this week should never be what people think of when Holly Rowe's name comes up.
"But this is where we are in 2026. That some person, some human being out there, uses Al to create a video depicting violence against someone so respected and so beloved. And some percentage of people at a press conference, who are colleagues of Holly, who should look up to her, laugh about it.

When someone lamented that "everyone [is] so offended about everything," Fowler replied, "Yeah your post is way off base.
And ignorant. Perhaps you have a rare talent for massively missing the point.
Two real people that I have known for decades being depicted in a case of physical abuse when isn't humor to me. I guess you're just another one who finds depictions of violence on women hilarious.'

Indeed it was clown shit. If my son apologized like that I'd make him do a real apology. And the handful of clipper fans who are just like "apology accepted let's goooo" are blowing my mind

should probably go without saying, but without a real admission of guilt I'd put the probability of a reduced penalty for the Clippers at roughly 0.0000001%

First time I've seen the fans mentioned at all. But it's meaningless unless real, material recompense is made in the years to come. Otherwise, I can't imagine why more than a deeply loyal minority of the fan base would remain.

Listening to a bigoted lady at the hotel next door to my room ranting about how there's a conspiracy against CC, BG is a man and has been banned from the W, and how she's watched so much hoops she knows women could barely dribble until CC arrived. Jfc.

They don't call Mina the GOAT for nothing

Mina Kimes in WIRED on why Bluesky is great and Twitter sucks shit:

"Favorite social network: Bluesky
I post everywhere to try and get my work out there and get it seen and read. But I would say the one that I use the most is Bluesky. While it has its flaws, there's definitely the occasional sports ball person in my mentions. I’ve found the interactions on there are the most like interactions I have with people in the real world, which is a rarity on the social internet these days.

Least favorite social network: Twitter
Everyone says Twitter, right? Which is a bummer because it used to be really fun and essential for news. When breaking news was happening, it was a place you'd go to get on-the-ground impressions. You could meet friends, you could find new writers and comedians, and all of that feels lost just because Elon completely killed the vibe. And I say that because obviously he's done things far more serious in terms of poisoning the discourse, and the place is a cesspool for racism and misogyny and misinformation, but it's also just, like, a terrible fucking hang. Everyone either seems miserable or is determined to make other people miserable.

Always fun realizing at 5:20 that one guy in your fantasy lineup is out today, and that one guy is the only one playing at 5:20. Fuuu

Regardless of what Draymond tells you, $30M is a pittance to Ballmer and getting banned during what will likely be a purgatorial season isn’t so bad. Meanwhile, the $700K fine for Kawhi is basically a business investment. He retains his bird rights for a massive extension and all the tree money.

All things considered, Clipper fans and the remaining players for the Clippers were arguably punished more from the salary cap circumvention fallout than those who wrote/cashed the checks.

There’s a lot of NBA fans who may struggle to afford basic needs, let alone tickets. From the aspiration stuff to an agent saying “athletes have the toughest job in the world,” and now the game’s biggest star stanning for polymarket — it’s been a very tone deaf offseason.

WNBA commissioner Nneka Ogwumike, you're hearing it more and more.

see, good things DO happen

I'd rather have seen Ballmer forced to sell the team. This punishment hurts the fans/players/employees, not the guilty parties. Other than Dennis, none of them are actually being punished here. (Reminder: $30M out of $152B net worth is the same as $55 out of $273K net worth—average Los Angeleno)

Lack of communication to the fans has probably made me the most upset, in all of this. The rest of it is just 🤷‍♂️but if the Clippers think their fans will just hang around on our own, without any kind of acknowledgement from the team, they're in for a rude awakening.

As I said before, writers who don't know this fanbase are approaching it wrong, lacking context. These two writers are EXACTLY who should be writing about this. Great work Law and Dan 👏

Something happened when, according to a year-long investigation by the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, the team improperly brokered multi-million dollar endorsement deals with multiple companies for Leonard. Something, of course, always seems to happen.

Something happened when Sports Illustrated called the Clippers the “worst sports franchise ever” on its cover in 2000. Something happened when Blake Griffin stepped on Lamar Odom’s ankle during a playoff practice and could hardly move for the rest of the 2013 postseason. Something happened when Donald Sterling’s racist rants were released in the middle of the 2014 playoff run. Something happened when Josh Smith and Corey Brewer took turns as the Splash Brothers in a Game 6 the year after. Something happened when Chris Paul got his hand caught in a Portland Trail Blazers player’s jersey, ending the 2016 playoff run with a broken bone. Something happened when the Clippers included a lanky rookie point guard named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a trade for Paul George. Something happened when Lou Williams broke COVID-19 protocols at Magic City in 2020.

Pablo's gonna MAKE him

As I said, their gambles were lauded at the time, but none of them paid off. Cursed, man.

Clippers: broke the rules, lost all their picks, banned their owner and front office, no future in sight Sparks: couldn't commit to tanking for Juju, ownership still trying to figure out how this dang ownership thing works Lakers: owned by a kushner LA basketball is in shambles

I'm interested to see if Silver and his newly discovered balls will address the Walters/Kushner shit. Not holding my breath though.

i finally watched the trailer and once again: who asked for this. the talking hat looks and sounds exactly like the previous talking hat. what a waste of money. also fuck bigotry.
