Back in 2012, MSNBC attacked an American hockey player for choosing not to visit the White House under Obama, arguing White House visits for champions were standard & not the time to play politics. Now the entire Democrat party argues the exact opposite:
We have reached a stage in our country where there are only two sides to every issue and every incident. Each side lives in protected echo chambers which are provided with a curated set of ‘facts’ and/or video footage from certain camera angles that are consistent with the preexisting views and conclusions of that side.
Individuals are ‘convicted’ of serious crimes in the headlines, by politicians appealing to their base, and ultimately in the minds of the public, or they are exonerated, before all of the facts are in and a detailed investigation has been completed.
This is not good for America. We need to go back to a world where we suspend judgment and await the conclusions of a detailed investigation before we convict or exonerate. Let’s not forget that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Rushing to judgment helps no one and harms us all. It also greatly elevates the temperature, which keeps potential targets of law enforcement and those who enforce our laws on edge, massively increasing the risk to all.
We need to take a deep breath and reserve judgment before this gets even more out of control.
Amazing stuff from Sebastian Williams-Adams on Filip Jović's 23-point day:
"I was just super proud of him, especially when I got to see him come out of his shell and talk his Serbian S-H-I-Blank to people."

Kevin Overton after learning he played 37 minutes and scored 29 points without turning the ball over: “I didn’t know that…I think I threw a few that should have been turnovers…”
Keyshawn Hall chimed in: “I had 6 turnovers…”
🤣🤣🤣

Charles Barkley says teams should still visit the White House and show respect to the president, regardless of who is in office
“I don’t care who the president is. He’s the President of the United States. It’s bothered me, the last 10 years, they’re like, ‘Well, I’m not going because this certain person is president.’ Dude, it’s the President of the United States. Even though I disagree with President Trump on some things, if I met him, I would still give him the respect and dignity he deserves. We can disagree, but it bothers me when these teams don’t want to go to the White House. I’m just disappointed…we got so divided. Where did we get to as a country when we’re like, ‘We’re not going to the White House, we don’t like who’s in there.’ That’s just stupid.”
