What he said wasn't controversial; what he wore was controversial. Bijani reposted a snip it of an after practice interview in response to the backlash from the mask Harden was wearing.
Harden, just come out and say that u didn’t know the meaning behind the mask so that this situation can die quickly and any speculation can be laid to rest...we all know that’s the case Harden saw a skull on a mask and thought it looked cool...the honorable Judge Reeko declares him not guilty
Sad thing is harden probably doesn’t even know and will probably be forced to disavow the police even if it’s something he agrees with. Weird times we are living in.
Naw Wade deleted a tweet that was in solidarity with Nick Canon. He later clarified and said he didn't support what Nick said about Jews but he supported taking ownership of Wild N Out the show he created for ViacomCBS.
Yeah, but he shouldn't have to say anything for wearing a blue mask. I didn't know what the mask meant, and I thought it looked pretty cool. Maybe he was the same. People are getting extremely lame.
to be clear, Bijani posted this on twitter when the Harden slander was at full tilt (still is). This isn't a response from Harden because of the backlash it was an interview after practice. Bijani posted it to show where he stood with the protests to give context.
he definitely was the same...Harden isn’t political...if he knew what the mask meant I’d be shocked Still, why couldn’t this have been Kawhi or some dumbass like McGee making this mistake? Harden is always catching heat.
I didn't realize blue lines were controversial now. And it's sad that being pro-police, if that was his intention, somehow must be read as a signal that he is anti-Black.
All I know is he was around his teammates, Daryl Morey and MDA. They didnt catch it because they probably thought it was a regular mask. Even if Harden believed in this mask and what it stood for I think Morey would have told him to chill out.. That's if they even knew what the mask was.
The thin blue line with skull mask symbol isn't the type of police we like. Harden most likely didn't know what it meant.
That photgrapher knew what the mask was, I have no doubt. I haven't seen so many clear pictures of a mask in all of NBA bubbledom. It's a set up!
Why would Harden know what that meant anyway. It doesn't seem like he is the kind of person that would pay attention to this kind of thing. Honestly should the average person know these symbols, they are not exactly mainstream by any means.
Harden has been assaulted with no whistle so many times by draymond green and the rest of the jerks he plays against so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants some Law and order
We know what blue lives matter represents, that's the reason this is going to cause controversy. I'm not trying to go D&D here so won't say anymore, but we can't pretend as if Blue Lives Matter is not something that would not be deemed controversial.
I like it . James is his own man ... either A) he wore the mask cause he thought it looked cool B) wore the mask knowing what it represents and DGAF C ) was out of all other masks Harden zigs where other zag. IF he supports the police then thats fine , i doubt he supports the murder of unarmed citizens. If he wore it outside of not knowing what it means that's great. I would like to hear his thoughts. But i mean he prolly wore it cause he thought it looks cool .
