For background, Twitter has discovered John Stockton is anti-vaxx and has been dragging him over it. Now, Stockton being anti-vaxx is stupid, but it’s pretty irrelevant to any and everyone quite honestly.


This dude is a disrespectful, childish, clown and I want him off my team. Liking a tweet making fun of John, is about as low as you get for being some humble wonderful dude. Especially when he was asked about it, saying getting the vaccine is a “personal choice” and he declined to say whether he was vaccinated or not. Making fun of John Stockton, regardless of how dumb his opinion may be is about as low as a Jazz player could get:

He didn't have to interact with the nonsense pile on of John on twitter at all, but he chose to make sure he liked a post clowning John Stockton. Disrespecting a guy who kept the f****** franchise in SLC shouldn't fly with any Jazz fan who values being a Jazz fan.
 
Stockton is my favorite Jazz player, but he is not on my list of favorite humans. Love what he did for the Jazz, but the dude is a jackass, as most people can tell you.

Now anyone that would berate Mitchell, who does so much for this franchise should be forever banned (from life, not just this forum) :).

As far as antivaxxers, I may like you, but damn right I'll make fun of you.

This. If someone’s got a dumbass take - idc who it is - they deserve to get dragged for it.

I mean I guess we could discuss how even one person not getting the vaccine very much puts us all at risk, but if you don't see how Stock's actions set the perceived Utah culture back 50 years, it's probably not worth discussing.

Stockton's just as tough as he is scientifically ignorant. He'll be fine without your support
 
Honestly who cares. Let the man live his life even if it's wacky. Stockton has a statue for his basketball accomplishments, not his views on science.

Anybody who treats these players as role models / idols are only setting themselves up for failure. The NBA/NFL is full of other anti-vaxxers, sex offenders, China apologists, home-wreckers, players who cheat on their wives, players who hire gang-bangers, murderers (Ray Lewis murdered a dude and nobody cares), etc.

Can't wait for idiots who'll want to tear down his statue because of his anti-vax views lmao
 
If one is offended by John “doing his research” and being an “anti-vaxxer,” it does help to do a bit more research of one’s own to find out what John said (or, rather, what he didn’t say [i.e. nothing]) about vaccines.

Donovan’s account is setup to like any pics Taylor Rooks posts... he thought it was a thirst trap photo.
 
From now on, your name is "one brown eye" for your a-hole takes on Don.

Well he unliked it, so he must have thought it wasn't the best look as well. Stocktons take is hot garbage. As the face of the Utah Jazz, if you are making fun of that man, you are an absolute disrespectful ****ing clown. Don doesn't just like every post he sees on twitter, and making it a point to like that tweet is garbage. Hope they lose tonight. Stocktons basketball legacy with the franchise is a 19 year commitment that solidified the franchises future. Donovan hasn't done **** but win 2 playoff series.
 
My only idol in life is my dad, one of, if not the, best people I've ever known, and my best friend. But I can tell that he isn't perfect and we have disagreed a lot.

Stockton is a sports figure I greatly respect and admire for many reasons. But his stance on many of these topics is not one of them.

I am capable of separating the 2. Much like we can deplore Jefferson for his stance on slavery without completely throwing out everything he did as a founding father of our country.

See, that's called being an mature, thinking, rational, adult human being.

Anyone who takes a purely one-sided stance on things like this is missing one or many or all of those things.
 
Generally I don't post on here, just read, but I kind of agree with oneeye, why like that tweet? I'm far from anti-vaxx, and it makes me sad that John is, but Don is the franchise star, you can't be piling on Stockton while he's being drug on twitter given Don's stature with the franchise. It's not smart at minimum, and pretty disrespectful at the extreme. I do think it's become more and more clear Don doesn't look at being here as some sort of thing he's proud of, and maybe it is time to look in a different direction. Dame is actually somewhat available, hell Doncic isn't happy with Dallas. I don't know, I get why the optics of it aren't good, and as a fan of the Jazz I can't say I love it.
