Allegations or not, we’re talking about a potentially serious crime. Yet, none of the big media outlets are reporting on it. Do we know why? I can’t help but thinking about other NBA player allegations and it being big news on ESPN or Fox Sports etc. what is the difference? Can’t help but imagining if this was a non white player what the media would be doing here. Can anybody give any other reason as to why this may be?
Because rape is so rampant in professional sports that not all of them are considered a big deal. The higher the talent, the less it doesn’t fucking matter. Josh giddey is low talent/ratings, so he takes the fall so the NBA can say “yeah, we take it seriously.” Look at kobe Bryant, Karl Malone, Chauncey Billups, Bernard king etc etc.
I mean, murder isn’t that big of a deal if you’re a star. Look at Ray Lewis ffs.
Kevin porter jr is even less of a star tha Giddey and his criminal allegations were all over ESPN.
