So....I have my sales kickoff, we do a virtual escape room (because we are all remote)......someone was murdered on the screen and you had to guess whether it was the cook, the maid, etc....based on everything the group thought it to be the maid or the cook.  Also, the person running the escape room was a girl (in character acting totally crazy).  So everyone is joking, tossing out who they think and the crazy girl asks me who do I think....and I say the maid.  She's like why....joking I say.....cause women are crazy.  So....my boss calls me after, says someone took offense, sent an email to senior management.  I assumed it was a woman...find out it was a guy.  I'd really love to get him on the phone or in person and say......you didn't have the courtesy to just discuss it with me?  I would have told you I have two teen daughters, girlfriend, mom...and I try and do more for them in a day than most do for women in a month.  But.... can see how this offended you seeing as you have no balls and are a woman.......

This is  why you can't do anything fun at work anymore.

Horowitz doesn’t appear to be big on social distancing. I mean, he got right up in Harden’s face initially.

I long for the days where if someone at work asked you a question, the right response was always "Hookers and blow".....now it's "Binary and White Claws"

Yeah. At least they know he is vaccinated because for a while that was required for entry in to the arena. But as the article states, they are trying to re-establish some boundaries with him. Although most of the players know him, and many have personally been to his house, and charity events with him theres no need for this fan to be getting in their time out huddles. Over the years hes gotten a little too comfortable and no one has really checked him. 

This would be amazing

Wow. I didn’t think there was any possible way that he could make me think even less of his character than I already did. But dammit, he proved me wrong. What a jackass.

I think it's made up media crap. Why would his people leak that to the public if that is their tactic to get that money back? I mean the Philly fans cheering for him are about slim to none but, why even risk it?

Ben Simmons, replying to a post by Barstool Philly saying that they "can't wait" for the Sixers-Nets game on Thursday and Ben to return to the Wells Fargo Center: "Likewise."

I bet his plan is to leave during the game.  They boo’ed me so hard it was not good for my mental health.

Speaking of mental midgets they should pair Ben with this clown! 

 

stop making me fall in love with you, georges!   

so this dude breaks his social media silence re: anything Philadelphia to say hes looking forward to this charade of a "homecoming game?" Despite him not playing in it?

Yeah, I buy the grievance story now. He wants that negative reaction bc stupid ass Rich Paul thinks its going to help his case somehow. 

I really wish the fans would ignore him entirely. Save all of this for the first time this **** actually has the balls to step on the court. Don't waste a second of it now. 

so why are there two threads?

If I’m the sixers, i bust out reagor and JJAW still showed up to work and played even though the fans can’t stand either and go after both of them constantly. 

They should announce, at the game, that they’re donating Simmons lost salary to mental health awareness in his honor.

The logic is so freakin weak too. So, going forward, the NBA would live with the precedent that if a player performs poorly, and then follows it up by quitting on the team, they could still demand their salary as long as the fans are mean.

Players already have a dozen ways to force trades...this would just flat out eliminate any player responsibility to uphold a contract;.

I honestly think they (Paul and co.) are hoping that some fan throws something at him, confronts him, etc. They're essentially throwing him out there as bait in the hope that something happens where they can build their case. It's such a slime ball move.

Again if i were the sixers i bring up reagor and JJAW at arbitration saying these two athletes get ridiculed more than anyone and yet they still came to work and played in the city.

Can we merge these threads?

@Moderator6 @Moderator12 

The problem with this whole angle on blaming the mean fans is that we're in a world where video and transcripts exist.  The arbitrator can simply replay this tidbit from Ben's opening Brooklyn presser: 

"It wasn’t about the fans or coaches or comments made by anybody, it was just a personal thing for me,” Simmons said. "That was earlier than that series, or even that season, that I was dealing with… and that organization knew that.”

He even says that it preceded that season in which the arbitrator can correctly state; "Yes, but you resigned anyway". 

He basically 8-mile battle rapped himself during that PC.  He countered all of his own supposed gripes.  I know that he was far from a student athlete and allegedly didn't care much for academics at all but I can't help but wonder about is overall intelligence.  I'm not suggesting that he's Dexter Manley but he doesn't come off as average let alone bright.

That bolded tells me he’s a lying POS that will say and do anything to either weasel his way out of things and try to get his money back.
