The NBA has several superstars that have business relationships with
Israeli cybersecurity companies, most notably Steph Curry. Also, Nike operates worldwide, this includes Israel!
LeBron just said “I always hear great things about Israel”, a country accused of by dozens of human rights organizations and academic journals of escalating a human rights catastrophe that has killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly ~1 million people.
Again, I ask. Outkick strongly and somewhat fairly criticized LeBron for his more than an athlete brand. Outkick has also criticized LeBron for stance on the police, social justice issues, etc. Where is it now? Why this ho hum attitude all of a sudden regarding Israel?

And for anyone thinking I’m exaggerating, tens of thousands killed is a figure quoted as accurate even from the IDF.
IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry estimate of over 70,000 killed in war haaretz.com/israel-news/2026…

Matt Walsh and these other right-wing empty men who think they're avatars of über-masculinity particularly hate Alex Pretti because he exemplified the virtues they love to extol but are too cowardly to actually embody.
They cosplay as trad men by dressing up in campy plaid shirts and sitting in podcast studios with a log cabin aesthetic.
Alex Pretti went to the street to fight for causes he believed in, protected and helped others in both how he protested (he was helping two women when ICE grabbed him) and in his work as an ICU nurse. He lived the values they pretend defines them, all while they lack the courage to ever do or risk anything. He's a reminder to them of what they're not: a mirror showing their own fragility.
That's why they feel vicariously strong watching ICE agents shoot him in the back and killed him.
There is no “duty to inform” law in Minnesota.
Filming police is protected speech.
Lawfully possessing a firearm is not interference or probable cause.
You guys are issuing warnings based on laws you’ve imagined in your head.
Kat Timpf a regular on Fox stating we shouldn’t bomb foreign lands its civilians and steal their resources a pretty basic and simple thought is getting her insane heat from the american right like man that sucks so bad, but it did need to be said so credit to her
counter point men should do whatever the hell they want and should not take advice from weasel podcasters who can’t bench their weight
As a general rule, grown men should not go to therapy. Most therapists are liberal women who couldn’t possibly have any useful advice to give them. Most people who go to therapy are also women. That’s because sitting around and talking about your feelings is inherently feminine. Men don’t solve their problems that way.
interested to hear @Betsycashmoney take on this.
but imo this is hurting the nba product. the nba’s flagship show is *constantly* negative for todays players and in turn hurts to build stars.
every week the attention on actual basketball is secondary. its all about them.
Charles Barkley:
“In my day, when a coach criticized you, it was called good coaching. When people criticize players today, it's called hating. And that’s why these bums be driving me crazy.”
(via @ESPNNBA)
fwiw the us is currently deporting people and threatening university grants for anti israeli views, bombing people without charges in the carribean, no legislation to costs of living, and masked officers are throwing people in vans without due process
for starters.
In 2022, @burackbobby_ wrote about Jeff Garcia questioning Mina Kimes opinion because she never played. He didn’t describe him as cringe, or belittling; he said it was just Jeff’s opinion.
In 2025, he’s calling for @Realrclark25 to be fired for saying the same thing?
One of the most deranged things I’ve ever read on this website.
There haven’t been free elections since 2006. Half the population is under age 18.
They didn’t choose anything!
Equating teachers, children, doctors, etc there with a death cult erases millions of their humanity.
I've been pretty clear about this but let me state it again for you for the newbies:
I do not care what happens to the Palestinian people, after this happened.
They made their choice with a religious death cult and they can lay in the rubble with them or they can take up arms to remove Hamas themselves.
Yes, a lot of staff were present during. What about before? The NYT is reporting specialized role vacancies. Those roles included lack of hydrologists, radar techs, etc. And I mean, couldn’t the fed been a little more proactive in this area? Besides texts and X posts at midnight?

UPDATE: We recently saw Representative Robert Bresnahan selling Centene stock.
Centene provides healthcare exchanges for Medicaid.
The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale:
Yeah bad idea dude. Displacing a million civilians and children, destroying their homes, and killing tens of thousands is totally lawful, and for sure taught them a lesson. I’m sure this will stabilize things in the Middle East for good. I stand down.
