2019 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors

I think you are missing the alleged multiple "go fark yourself" hurled at Lowry.

 

I kinda agree with that but society does define us for those single moments of idiocy. My youngest just got accepted into Hopkins. A friend of his, just as good as a student with top stats didn't got in at any top colleges. We are thinking this is due to a physical fight he had a couple of years ago during lunch break. Apparently, that was noted by his high school counselor to the colleges he applied. I had recently told the wife that a teenager shouldn't really be defined by a single altercation.

 

Do you have comprehension problems?

 

he has unwarranted physical contact with players.

post still stands. show us where he pushes players. you can't

 

Doesn't seem like he has a comprehension problem.

 

It's actually not as bad as Lowry firing a basketball at a female ref and threatening to kick her ass.

 

Before the event, doubt many knew the guy was a part owner of GS and thus calling him a representative of the organization is quite a stretch. In fact, most initial reports referred to him simply as a fan cos that what the world knew of him.

Drake has made unwarranted physical contact with player (including the recent "curry lint"). That you (and/or others) dont see Drake's action in the same vein as the Lowry push essentially proves my point that your subjective measure in advocating for a more severe ban is not tenable long term.

A better position in my view, is to have clearer guidelines and punishment. I am not a fan of the kind of antics Mark Steven, Drakes and many of the court side 'fans' seem to get up to. They often seem able to get away with much more than the regular fan would and I feel the actions of mark steven is simply a consequence of the privilege they had been granted

 

Whether or not people knew he was an owner when it happened has no relevance. People know it now, and the punishment should be established accordingly.

If Drake has attacked players, then he should be banned. But again, I'm not familiar with any instance where Drake attacked a player. I just googled "Curry Lint" and found nothing about a physical attack (although I did find something where Drake and Curry are friends). Can you point to a video or an article where Drake has physically attacked a player?

 

So in your version of English language "unwarranted physical contact" = "push"?

 

Do you share the malaise as well?

 

in the context of what is being talked about here. mark's push vs what drake does has no comparison when again he doesn't disrespect someone by physicality

how that needs to be explained to you is beyond me

 

I did not accuse Drake of attacking a player and mark steven pushed lowry, which does not qualify as an attack in my view.

But again it is a subjective judgement. The fact you feel Mark Stevens push of Lowry is egregious, allows me (or anyone else) to view Drake's actions in a similar way. That there seems to be no established standard that is adhered to, is the big problem

 

So you admit that you have a comprehension problem.

Then its is not surprising that both the premise and the logic of the argument you seem to take issue with has gone over your head.

Apologies, but I do not traffic solely in simple declarative statements, as you seem to desire.

 

the person that has a problem here is you and your ridiculous attempt at comparisons. the fact that you can't see that is on you, not anyone else.

 

You might have had a leg to stand on if I was making a direct comparison.

"Give me the place to stand, and I shall move the earth" must be nonsense in your ears as well

 

snore

 

Nope...I have excellent reading comprehension skills.

 

If someone shoved you like that in the street, it would be assault. That is an established standard.

 

Mark Stevens went out of his way to push Lowry aggressively and verbally told Lowry to "Eff yourself" (verbal assault by itself is not something to be punished, but pretty clearly establishes Stevens' intentions with the push). Can you be specific about Drake's actions that you consider to be egregious? If there is video, that would be great, but even if it's just an article that discusses Drake's action and discusses why it was inappropriate, that would be very helpful.

 

I 100% agree that you have not made a direct comparison. That is why your assertion seems to make no sense. There is no 100% comparison between what Mark Stevens did and what Drake has done that would stand any kind of reasonable equivalency in a discussion like this. If you have any kind of information that would make the Stevens/Drake comparison reasonable to consider, please share it with us.
