Rockets GREAT Photographer Bill Baptist slurs Kamala on Facebook

Yeah.

And we know Republicans/Conservatives/Trump voters don't apologize.

 

When did the right start hating the private sector so much?

 

He was just passing it along in an objective way as in “look what somebody else did!”. Bloody brilliant!

 

Lou Will will argue that it's the best place bar none to have breasts and thighs slathered with BBQ sauce.

 

Actions have consequences, and the NBA is within their rights to terminate his bubble contract because he posted a sexist meme on his personal Facebook page.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences from said speech, other than you can’t go to jail for saying most things. Also, cancel culture goes too far when it argues that instances of racist or sexist acts or remarks from years or decades ago warrant “canceling” an individual or company. However, that’s not the case here.

The bottom line is: If you don’t want to jeopardize your career or company, don’t say, publish or support comments that are racist, sexist, etc. in nature. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.

 

Conservatism is such a cancer in our society, it is rotting people's brains.

 

Cliche.

Anyway yall need to chill goin after people's livlihoods. Suspend him at most for a harmless comment. It was far less offensive than kneeling during the anthem.

 

so... your statement that people have the right to speak peacefully without losing their job ... runs face first into the colin kaepernick situation .... and now the consequence of speech is to be determined by how offensive it is ... and you are the arbiter of how offensive something is.

this is hopelessly idiotic.

 

But muh free political expression. Oh wait OR is it muh private company? Which one is it?

On a serious note... do you think this is a huge deal outside of the rockets org? I do think this could make probs inside the org if the players are babies like half of this board. I won't be shocked if they want him fired because ppl want everyone fired who they disagree with politically. This can go for leftists or right wing people. I imagine since the nba is corporate they will do something because it offends the customers, but they will continue to allow players to offend customers by kneeling.

 

This is simply a matter of the NBA acting in its own best interest. Photographers are replaceable, so why deal with any backlash whatsoever, whatever the league might think of it. And this wouldn’t happen just for political posts. If Baptist posted something supporting dog fighting, liking or meth, legalizing cocaine ... anything that the NBA wouldn’t want to be associated with, he is done. this isn’t complicated. I think he is a decent guy who exercised bad judgment. What followed was entirely predictable.

 

If he said that about the first lady no one here would give af. But I get your point.

 

Funny he gets fired for something like that but the president of the United States shares worse stuff. Crazy how this world works. That the NBA has higher standards than the office of the president.

 

Wait your name is not Deckard?

 

Try again troll

 

See that’s what happens when you are a lazy troll and can’t even do the proper work to try and defend his own lazy ass position. Sad sad troll @generalthade_03

 

Stay classy, little buddy.

 

Please tell me how criticism of a nation-state is more morally reprehensible than calling women whores because you disagree with the ideologically?

 

Someone paint him purple.... he looks like Grimace from McDonald’s.
