Blake Griffin wants it from his trainer. Your thoughts?

Jesus, I'd presume many of you (most?) are the same people who sit at home and bitch about our pathetic, politically correct society. I'm certainly not saying it was right but I certainly also can't say it's therefore wrong. We just don't know. It could be a bit of a douchebag move but we have no idea what their relationship is like (for all we know, this trainer ****s with him and/or other players too) and it makes "work" more fun.

My perspective is from dealing with crap like this from an HR perspective in the workplace. I have seen people suspended and fired for similar behavior. And since at a higher level of management I kind of get involved in all of the cases in the facility as opposed to what might just happen in one group, I have become sensitized to these kinds of behaviors. Bottom line, if the trainer didn't like it, or someone else watching was offended, then it is harassing behavior. It is all about perception, and intent means virtually nothing in that context, other than perhaps helping to determine the extent of possible repercussions (i.e. write-up or suspension or termination, or in this case, fines or what have you).

But then again, the NBA is hardly a normal work environment.

But imho I think it shows that he is a first class ******* to do something like that in such a public place, whether it was normal behavior in the training room or practice is a different thing altogether than during a televised game.

This is all true. Because people are ***** *** bitches

We could get into a long discussion about society and how people have such a sense of entitlement to everything and feel like they can do anything they want to suppress others' opinions, etc. etc., but this pretty much sums it up.
 
Yo Hack, can I come over and shove your head near my dick? I can film it and put it on JF so we can all laugh.
hacl will just go off for fifteen pages about how much smarter he is than everyone else, and eventually get your house closed down after he spews everywhere.

1. You two cry too much

2. You two have way too much to say about me.



I literally never talk about either one of you. Am I always on your minds or something?
 
What am I crying about?

Every since I said Boozer sucks, every one of your posts have been sour attitude laced. Before that, you whine a lot in general. Hence the reason you got ran off from the baseball league.


Right now you are crying about Blake goofing around with someone on his team staff.
 
So hack, the main problem I had with your 15 page rampage is that you were a dick to multiple people. We all know those Jazz teams were at best borderline contenders for about 1.5 seasons, but you were acting like they were the worst team in the league, and telling gvc to go kill himself. People can have rational conversations about to things without going nuts or resorting to personal attacks. That is an adult skill. You have that for the most part, and then once or twice every few months you freak out and turn into a dick. It's understandable. People are dicks sometimes. Just accept it and get over it.

You are imagining stuff dude.

So when can I come shove your face by my crotch? I got my camera ready.

Bline, when did I ever tell GVC to go kill himself? I swear, it's like people will see what they want to see. I've never ever told one person on here to go kill themselves. In fact, I'm highly against saying that to anyone. I challenge you to find the post where I said go kill yourself GVC. I called him an idiot and a moron. But only because of the history I have with him, and it's because on numerous occasions he's went out of his way to call me an idiot and what not. The dude runs around insulting everyone. You clearly haven't talked to him much or seen his posts. The only other people I've insulted by calling names are people who FIRST said something to me. Am I supposed to just listen to someone insult me?

What happened was you and other people just saw the middle of the arguments so you assumed I was being a dick because I was clowning the fools trying to attack me.

It's so annoying to have people jump in on conversation they have no idea how or why it began.


Apparently Im not allowed to defend myself around here. Thanks for jumping in and having my back when I was insulted. I know, I know, it's a lot easier to assume and join the majority than it is to think for yourself.


Me saying Boozer sucked at defense and the Jazz were never contenders, is hardly a reason for people to get all pissed off about. Especially when it's freaking true. I'm not the only one who doesn't like Boozer either. There are plenty of other fans, on record right here on Jazzfanz that have said much worse things about Boozer.


Good grief!! I can't believe I have to even explain this.

I'm sure that somehow, you'll take from this that I said for you to go kill yourself. Well, I didnt. So reread it if you have to.
 
lol

I'm sorry that you have never had friends that you could joke around with, play pranks etc..

It's really not a big deal I promise.

You did in fact call me an idiot or moron or something without me ever being rude or insulting to you first. Not that I care, I'm over it. Just letting you know

No. Actually that's not a fact. You came at me first calling me names. Go reread please.



I just went and reread it the thread.

You struck first. The only thing I said that could even be close to an insult is I said "holy cow, this is not hard to understand.

These are your words shortly after "why are you being a dick?"


I never even called you one name, ever in that thread.

I'll give you 1000 dollars if you can show me where I called you a name.

Why are you making this up Fish?

I'm not making it up. I recall you calling me a name which prompted me to ask why you were being a dick. I don't know what the thread title was or I would go check it out. (Of course you have the ability to go and change your post so you could have just deleted that part of your post)
Or maybe my recollection is wrong. It's all good though either way. I'm not mad at you and not giving you **** about that thread. No big deal to me.

Fwiw though, I'm not just making **** up. Why would I do that? I like you.
That's simply what I remember. I have no ill intentions here.
 
So we have 2 confirmed cases of people making things up in their heads just so they can find a reason to hate me.

Unreal!

It's called. 'Why the hell isn't Rudy starting"

It's about 4-6 pages back.

I can't bump or quote because it's closed.


I can't edit either. Even if I could it would show it.


No, I never called you a name.
