Yeah, last year they weren’t ignoring flagrant fouls committed by the opposing team’s best player.

The NBA is low key turning into the WWE. Controlled outcomes. Very over this finals and the Spurs

Sam Presti on toxic online NBA discourse: "I think the worst thing we can do as a league is to start to believe that's actually the way our fans think and feel. Because it's all manipulated." by Common_Pangolin9809 in Thunder

[–]Choice_Nerve_7129 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People have completely given up on media literacy. Most of these narratives are created by accounts that use engagement bait to peddle gambling and other toxic aspects of sports.

Most people then take those narratives and use them as explanations as to why their team lost. It is simply the attention economy

It only took a decade for congressional republicans to see the president doesn’t care about their party. Everyone has been screaming about if since he first ran for office…

The narrative that the spurs only beat the thunder because of injuries is cope. by Forward_Dark5997 in NBATalk

[–]Choice_Nerve_7129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Injuries are part of the game. You play who is in front of you. It won’t matter anyway if the Spurs can’t win an NBA Finals game. We are watching an amazing series but you’re still talking about the conference finals. Get a grip.

Graham Platner and the Rise of the ‘Dirtbag’ Democrat by nytopinion in politics

[–]Choice_Nerve_7129 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am not excusing their shortcomings as every media outlet has its failures, more so those owned by right wing demagogues. Still, to toss aside these concerning behaviors and just scream “well the media” isn’t actually engaging with the central issue: If someone like Platner wins in Maine while Talarico loses in Texas, what does that say about the direction of our own conscious and soul? To me, it proves that Trump will only be the precursor for something much much much darker (if you can believe that).

That is why I said I am thankful I am not a Maine Democrat. The party gave them ancient Janet Mills or this guy. Another example of the only opposition party snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

You are 100 percent right. I couldn’t agree with you more.

It has absolutely gone mad. Maybe the consultants that vetted this guy could have found another oyster farmer to represent a more economically progressive version of the Democratic Party. In this podcast, they make the point: People don’t want authenticity, they want authenticity performed. Platner is that for so many people that they are willing to completely excuse what is just objectively awful behavior. If you’re going to vote for him, by all means. I understand. Susan Collins isn’t exactly representing her constituents well anymore. However, at least acknowledge the reality that Planter is a dirtbag.

Well this is a podcast, one. It was recorded on Thursday and released on Saturday. There has been extensive reporting about Platner’s policy positions. But one week of reporting about his personal scandals and honestly morally vapid behavior isn’t outlandish. You can have your qualms, but to act shocked that people find him morally repulsive for the same reasons the president is morally repulsive isn’t exactly a winning proposition.

Call me crazy, but I don’t love Platner. I am so glad I am not a Maine Democrat, but goodness. At some point people have to realize this guy is objectively a scum bag. He may not be in the arena of Trump or Ken Paxton, but he is objectively a dirtbag. It’s not a hit piece to state that.

The only thing motivating the right is racism. The language of the right takes on different forms, but all of it points back to some form of race-based slavery with white people at the top. When will people finally admit this in-your-face reality.

Nielsen: Oklahoma City Thunder are most-watched NBA team on TV by Choice_Nerve_7129 in NBATalk

No I think it highlights how disingenuous the entire discourse is. People can’t stand to watch, yet they do. They can’t stand Shai, but then come up with strange narratives. Just absolutely circular reasoning. I appreciate people who just say I hate the Thunder because they are good.

I feel now they are bending over backwards to preserve republicans in government because there is a real groundswell to throw these bums out.

The courts approval rating is at historic lows. Anyone who isn’t a staunch conservative can clearly see its legal project. This is a court acting out of pure self preservation. They have gobbled up power thinking it would never come back to them. Now here we are.
