It can go either way. What he is doing is not all that different than what Dan Campbell did, and it has split opinion the same way. If he follows it up with solid coaching then it ultimately won't matter. If he struggles then the first press conference will be used as proof he was not ready.
Cool. I understand that you don’t want to own the fact that you’re gay for all things Lakers. You can respect JJ and want him to be successful and still say “nah, don’t do that. It’s unprofessional to drop F bombs at a presser like you’re on your podcast.” The inability to criticize is what outs you as the closeted homosexual for the purple and gold.
Does Campbell regularly toot F notes at his pressers? I wouldn’t say Sirriani does it “regularly” but the 3-4 times he’s done it it’s been out of bounds.
I did not say the exact same, I said similar. In that he was saying things to make the press. The path was different, but the end result was not.
I really have no problem with this style at all. It’s unique and it seems to play well with players. I was just saying the use of the F word was out of bounds and unprofessional. That’s why I asked you the question I did.
I suppose that is where our real disagreement comes from. I have no feelings for the word. I teach my kids that they can say what they want in the house, but once they leave the walls they are responsible for their choice and have to be ready for consequences. I think it is important to remove magic power from words.
Yours is a reasonable opinion... that said, I kinda agree with @fightinfunbags... (this is a minor issue overall, though).
When it comes to breaking professionalism is it only the swear words that are out of bounds? Or is it anything that is not professional? It seems to be that a guy could pee on the stand and he is just asserting his dominance! If he swears while peeing on the stand, he needs to grow up.
It sounds like we are more closely aligned than apart. You’re teaching your kids time and place. I’m saying in this application JJ should have considered time and place.
Not sure, but I saw what he saw as well. $225 mil as of now but could go up.
Extremely fair take, I suppose I am just more liberal with where the words are appropriate. I view it as no different than biting kneecaps like statement, but can see how others may not agree.
Come on! We can do better than this if we’re going to make shit up and assign it to my point of view. Let’s have JJ engage in a Roman orgy during the press conference. Let’s get like a dozen people up there. And the line is crossed when someone makes a joke about Helen Keller at an orgy. JJ says just like Helen Keller at an orgy, the league doesn’t know who they’re fucking with.
It’s out of bounds. Coaches should conduct themselves with more class.
The approach is fine. The F word screams Virginia trailer trash. The guy’s people sent him to Duke but he still can’t over come his roots.
Is this a similar situation to Mitchell where the above is true....but he also can get more money if he waits?
just easier sometimes to hate everyone than to pick and choose.
You are quoting a comment that is a reply to gman, not you, and I used a ridiculous example to highlight that the lines being drawn are usually arbitrary to the individual, and not attribute any of it to your stance. Took a lot of mental gymnastics to believe this was in anyway me claiming it was your point of view.
This argument always makes me laugh. Just like anything over-using it to the point where it is clearly a crutch sure does, but in general it is a word that does a fantastic job of punctuating a point. Nothing more and nothing less.
