Hey b's.

@PeteBlackburn @Big_McLrgHuge Not sure that matters unless they had it in writing that the veracity of the agent’s claims was a contingency on the contract, which seems unlikely. More likely that they’ll eat the $ because they were so ready to just accept miller’s side of the story without hesitation.

Incredibly heart-breaking read but a necessary one. Our actions or lack thereof, have real-life consequences. A statement from Isaiah Meyer-Crothers in his own words sent to Akim Aliu, HDA Chair, on November 8, 2022 which he asked the HDA to release publicly on his behalf.

Our statement regarding the Boston Bruins' signing and release of Mitchell Miller.

[TB @ajblax21]

@DJ_Bean Second chances are deserved when someone earnestly tries to right their wrong(s) and grow, which couldn’t be further from what took place with Mitchell Miller.

@_TyAnderson Two kids were convicted. At the time, one of them apologized and was forgiven by the victim’s family. One of them did not, until it was mandated by a judge. Feels like a clear delineation between who felt contrition and who didn’t

And as a follow up…

@ArchGotta @TheBigHoss62 @TheRealJRSmith I never said I expect him to just give money to orgs on a whim. But the organizations’ hypothetical corruption would not prevent a billionaire from using their resources to fix a global problem. It’s nothing more than a personal choice to not do so (and one he’s welcome to make)

[TB @ajblax21]

@TheBigHoss62 @ArchGotta @TheRealJRSmith If I had billions and could make things better for people who are struggling, I would try to do so regardless of the hurdles. I’m not saying he’s under any obligation, but acting like anything but his own volition is preventing him from fixing hunger is wildly childish and naive

[TB @ajblax21]

@TheBigHoss62 @TheRealJRSmith That anecdotal evidence has no application in this situation. You don’t think a billionaire might be able to have oversight where his billions get put to use if he chose to donate?

[TB @ajblax21]

@TheBigHoss62 @TheRealJRSmith Why is doing the right thing contingent on an itemized receipt? Guy just spent $44b on Twitter on a whim and you believe the thing stopping him from making the world better is a lack of financial transparency?

Utah's Republican Governor Spencer Cox, as he vetoes a ban on trans athletes passed by the state legislature, notes 75,000 high school athletes and only four are transgender. "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few."

[TB @ajblax21]

@K_Adams90 @brock_mcgillis There are people smarter than you and I who have studied this in depth. If you’re earnestly interested in a scientific analysis of trans athletes, you’re going to find your anecdotal evidence is not reflective of reality. Let kids be themselves, it’s not difficult

@dangerdav @Yanksfan247 @Buddha_Inked @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson I didn’t ask you about the publisher I asked you about the women who said they were assaulted.

[TB @ajblax21]

@dangerdav @Buddha_Inked @Yanksfan247 @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson When would have been an appropriate time for these women to speak up about what they say happened to them? Dave’s been making money hand over fist since he and his wife separated so this argument could be spun for anything brought up against him over the last 5 years

[TB @ajblax21]

@dangerdav @Yanksfan247 @Buddha_Inked @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson It’s concerning that you think the timing of these women speaking up is more of an issue than the contents of what they say happened to them

[TB @ajblax21]

@Yanksfan247 @dangerdav @Buddha_Inked @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson The women say it was predatory sexual misconduct. That is a fact. Whether or not that was the case is unclear and you’re welcome to draw your own conclusion

[TB @ajblax21]

@Yanksfan247 @dangerdav @Buddha_Inked @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson You don’t see how absurd it is to state that as fact when you’re lamenting others for making what you deem to be baseless claims?

[TB @ajblax21]

@dangerdav @Buddha_Inked @Yanksfan247 @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson Sure sounds like you’re looking for a reason not to give these women the time of day. They shouldn’t have to be perfect to be heard out when they say predatory sexual misconduct took place.

[TB @ajblax21]

@Yanksfan247 @dangerdav @Buddha_Inked @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson None of what you said invalidates what the women said happened to them. You’re doing the same thing you’re lamenting others for in making baseless claims backed by conjecture instead of fact

[TB @ajblax21]

@Buddha_Inked @Yanksfan247 @Constructfeet @byjoelanderson Listen I’m a raging liberal, but I have a hard time believing real allegations like this would be timed with PENNs earnings twice in addition to the other factual issues that have been highlighted.
