The 2023-2024 NBA Season

More from the local guy, I’m paraphrasing. He said he knows a lawyer that would know all about it. He said if she was 15 he is in considerable trouble. If she was 16 however he will get labeled and move on with his life. He said the lawyer said their is all kinds of language about ages and such, but if he has no previous record he will move on with his life as long as she was 16. Don’t shoot the messenger.

If she is of age, this should end lickity split.

No need to refuse to cooperate, unless there is wrongdoing.

it’s pretty clear she isn’t 18 I think, would have been quick.

I mean, I posted the tweet.

All the responses say one of 2 things:

She's a racist or she doesn't want the smoke about the age difference....

...which if I'm not mistaken, are the two things I mentioned.

I obviously missed your point entirely. I definitely wasn't implying anything about your meaning other than it seemed the age gap was mentioned between her and her husband as if that was even a little bit relevant.

that's one of the problems with society today is we complain about news being "fake" yet we want everyone to have a take on everything in like 30 seconds.

Malika is in no way shape or form required to have a take on this before everything is made public.

it's weird but you have to draw the line somewhere.

I'm even less concerned about it if it's a one off and she lied to him about her age (I'd ask for Id but that's me) than the underlying rumors that this is his thing.

That’s my take exactly, if it’s proven he was looking for underage girls he’s gone. I’m not going to require anyone to get a birth certificate.

His problem was never going to be criminal penalties. It’s being Roman Polanski in the public square that’s the problem.

I won’t be able to watch the game tonight. I’m leaving after school to go with Seniors on a 4 day retreat. No sports viewing for me until I get home on Thursday night.

Yikes, can't watch on your phone?

Polanski had a criminal problem that he ran from. We simply don’t know anything here yet.

Okay, my bad for being snippy.

The Lakers vs 76ers tonight. Should be fun.

Prolly get to halftime by the time MNF starts.

Meh, who cares about Bears/Vikes lol?

It’s football, and honestly Dobbs vs Fields excites me a little. They both have a lot to prove.

 

[shopson67]

Why is Polanksi even being mentioned? A 44 year old raping a 13 year old is not remotely the same situation as Giddey's.

Dobbs?

Dude, every time I hear * read * this creeps name, I think of people still being willing to work with a child rapists and then Sharon Tate, that leads to Charles Manson.

Dobbs?

Stupid phone

Giddey is, allegedly, step to far into being illegal version of Kobe.

......as long as there isn't a pattern of grooming.

no worries

Malika has caught a lot of shit at times for no reason.

Since you mentioned the racial aspect of it I can sometimes be aloof when it comes to that stuff because I truly don't think about it much. My POV is much different than that of a biracial woman where race feels more of a factor in how she feels she's (and is treated)treated id suspect.

I offended one of my sons friends mother's the other day because she was explaining her feelings on a racial situation on the field that happened with the school we were playing but different grade and I remarked "thats fucked up but the coaches I spoke to in this grade were cool" I didn't mean to come off as insensitive and there is no place for racism anywhere but I genuinely didn't stop myself to think how it would come off.

I don't know. I wish we could all just treat each other with respect and the dignity we all deserve. As does Malika.

Well mine isn’t playing but I have 8 fantasy football teams that I have a lot invested in.
