Does anyone else’s sport have a fascism sub plot or is it just us

[J.J. Lahey 🧀 @JJLahey]

Utterly damning. So much worse than any of us knew.

I don’t read this and come away thinking Giannis handled everything perfectly. He clearly didn’t. But I also don’t really care to spend much time litigating that part of it.

Superstars are complicated. They have leverage, they get emotional, they send mixed messages, and sometimes they want influence without the full accountability that should come with it. None of that is exactly shocking.

What bothers me is how unserious the Bucks look as an organization. And making it even worse, why would anyone have confidence that this ownership group and front office can handle things better going forward?

The head coaching decisions alone should destroy any benefit of the doubt. Bud was not unfireable. He had real flaws, and there were legitimate reasons to question whether the Bucks needed a new voice. But if you’re going to fire the best coach in franchise history 2 years after winning a title, you need a better reason than emotional fallout from a bad playoff series, and you better have an actual plan for what comes next.

They didn’t. They replaced him with a first-time head coach they clearly weren’t sure could lead a championship team. That fell apart immediately.

And when they hired Doc, everyone outside the building with a pulse knew he blew playoff series, shifted blame, alienated players, and lived off a media reputation he hadn't earned in a very long time.

So, we got weird ego stuff, bad messaging, no coherent identity, players not knowing what they were supposed to be doing, vets tuning him out, Giannis drawing plays, staff disorganization... basically the exact nightmare scenario fans feared when the hire happened.

That’s the part I can’t get past.

The Packers moved on from Aaron Rodgers and came out the other side with Jordan Love, a young core, an energized fanbase, and a future that still felt exciting. It was messy at times, but they had a direction, and hindsight makes them look like they probably won the breakup.

The Bucks should have been aiming for some version of that.

Instead, this feels a lot closer to the post-Jordan Bulls: the golden era is over, the culture is gone, and the people asking to be trusted with the rebuild are the same people who helped burn down the thing everyone loved.

The Bucks had Giannis, Jrue, Khris, Brook, Bud, a title, and an incredible culture. The folks in charge kept making frantic, incoherent decisions until ALL of it was gone.

Whatever blame Giannis deserves, fine. He’s gone now. The people who made these decisions are still here.

So no, I don’t have faith in this ownership group or front office going forward. Replacing Giannis was always going to be basically impossible. But trusting this group to build the next real Bucks era requires a level of confidence I just do not have.

This is sort of Milwaukee sports analogous to the photo of the Marines raising the US flag on Iwo Jima.

The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

arrests for touching water in the Reflecting Pool, no arrests for murders committed by ICE or of criminal pedophiles in the Epstein files.

If things ever get spicy in the US, there's gonna be a lot of instances of right-wing death squads getting actionable intelligence from cops with access to Flock data

Idk what’s funnier about this. The fact that Gragson is beefing someone who won’t even be at the next race or the fact that this dispute is all over like 30th place

[Cuckturd @CattardSlim]

Our Kids have no idea how much FREEDOM Trump & Republicans have stolen from us.

The reflecting pool under Trump vs. Biden.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

There is no law that prohibits people from touching the water of the reflecting pool. The US military is now intimidating the public who are simply exercising their freedoms.

[Vincent Bruins 🧡 @VincentJBruins]

The answer to "why". Gragson can't be surprised Magnussen did what he did.

[RednBlackSalamander @9mmballpoint]

No guys it's fine, Flock cameras only read license plates, it's just normal traffic control, stop being so paranoid

Anyway here's one on a bike path

This is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro who got the no-bid contract to install a water purification system for the reflecting pool. He has 2 prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws.
