It's been really hard for me to get into the NBA this year. I enjoy the NBA for basketball, but the NBA is about anything but basketball these days. And no, I'm not saying this in a shut up and dribble way. I'm saying this in a "do I really have to listen to this narcissist pseudointellectual" way. Can't escape these clowns.

Lol. I was thinking there is no way he got 10 steals or 10 blocks. He got the patented Westbrook quadruple double with turnovers.
I’m kinda the opposite.. I enjoy all the drama especially as it pertains to the Nets and the Sixers collapsing and benefitting us.. lol..
As much as I would like the Nets to lose, it does not bring me joy that it's because Kyrie is causing actual harm to already marginalized communities and expiring the next generation of pseudo intellectual basketball players. At least with Ben Simmons he wasn't causing real harm to anything other than his own basketball career so you could ignore it. When there's real harm being done....anti-Semitism, domestic assault, sexual assault. The NBA is ugly right now. Hard to enjoy the NBA and think about how it's benefiting the Jazz.
Just don't consume NBA content outside of the games...
That's what I'm saying...it's hard for me to get into the league because if you try to follow the league in any other way you just get this garbage. And again, it's hard to brush off the garbage because the garbage matters and really shouldn't be ignored. It's hard for me to get invested in a league where so little of the coverage is actually about the games.
It's much tougher to follow because of timezones, but I've spent so much more time following the Prem this year. It's so much better to follow a league where the coverage isn't dominated by players being idiots and is instead about the actual competition.
Many (most?) Jews believe we should not say God's name. Some even take the vowel out of G-d.

It's not any worse than it used to be, with the Malace in the Palace, Kobe raping someone and walking away lionized, Allen Iverson's domestic abuse. It is really hard for me to look at Twitter as the culmination of all evil. Imagine what Barkley would have looked like if Twitter was available during his playing days.
It’s definitely worse with social media. There’s no chance Kyrie causes this much trouble without it. It also makes the news cycle more trashy. All news media is worse because they want a quick click.
If you only care about the game why are you trying to consume anything outside of games? Just buy league pass and watch the games.
1) Because some stuff can’t/shouldn’t be ignored and 2) Im saying the league is less enjoyable when you can’t follow the coverage of the league.
It’s simply more fun to follow a league where the things you care about are the things that are covered. IMO, to be invested in a league, that also means being invested in the coverage and conversation around the league. I’m not trying to seek out these things, but that’s all that’s there and that’s why it’s hard for me to get invested in the season.
That's only some Orthodox Jews. Definitely not the majority.
