[Ethics Alarms] There are Indeed Ethics Issues Raised By Inexplicable Choking In The NBA Play-Offs

Really looking forward to lame offseason threads again.

 

What haughty grad student put this **** together?

Yeah, suspicions go away if someone verbalizes them... GTFO of here with your Liberal Arts communication major BS.

 

I dont think its an ethical issue... i think its a maturity issue...

 

He graduated from Harvard with a Liberal Arts degree and did post-undergrad work. Exactly as I surmised. Couldn't be more obvious with that style of pretentious prose.

And were you of the opinion that I trying to get his exact credentials correct? Because I was simply talking about how pompous and uninformed on sports the moron who wrote that drivel clearly was. Looking at his background, I want to vomit that he thinks the way to get rid of suspicion is to verbalize.

What clowns. Both him and you for reading his crap.

 

Some explain this to me like I'm a 6 year old

 

Lemme guess, you majored in engineering?

 

You are bullying me. I feel so bullied. Stop it now.

 

This guy is so arrogant, he thinks his blog posts are a platform for a pro-ethics movement. C'mon man.

 

I read HadToDoItCF's posts in Niles Crane's voice (Frasier). Am I doing it right?

[Also I think this is a hokey idea.. I just wish the NBA wasn't so shady that part of me wasn't actually intrigued by this.]

 

If some one was trying to throw a game they would not be so obvious. Something happened, I don't know what, nobody has made public any proof only guesses. I want to know, I'm just tired of wild guesses and all the bickering going on . It probably won't stop though. Damn it's gonna be a long off season.

 

This thread is unethical by accusing someone of cheating. Bad ethics indeed

 

I don't get the attack on the liberal arts majors. Maybe he's compensating for being a mister while others around him are doctors?

 

My thoughts exactly. I understand that gambling is a given in sports, a player gambling within his sport, let alone his own team, is a pretty damming accusation. I mean, Pete Rose to this day continues to be shunned by the league. I hope this is all just nonsense and it goes away. I have a feeling you're right though, this is going to be a long offseason.

 

I think it's unreasonable to think of a motive at this point. We DO know he threw the game and we know he has a history of irregular performances in elimination games. I'm not talking about poor shooting games. I mean uncharacteristic plays in which he throws the ball away with nobody standing there.Times where his man runs to the basket for a layup with Harden looking like he's zoned off in another world. Before we can think of why he would do it, lets first all acknowledge he made a conscious decision to play horrible (2 first half shot attempts, 5 turnovers)

 

so what if he did? I don't think he would if there was a chance he could win this season.

I do not think he did.

 

I get jokes all the time for being a philosophy major. My uncles, grandpas and 2 cousins were all engineering majors. They are all smart but pretty close-minded and judgmental dudes.

A lot of them don't respect the value of a lot of liberal arts majors. It's pretty insular to diminish the value of what someone learned while completing their degree.

Ironically my dad is the only other liberal arts major in my family and he makes the most money in my family because he went to law school after. He majored in "elementary education" in undergrad.
