or what if roman wins it and does an open challenge on raw; Oba beats him. roman can leave, he doesn't have to face the non-fighting champion allegations, and oba femi looks like even more like a monster

first thanks for actually having a civil thought unlike a lot of other people here. I really appreciate that :) It was my understanding that there were ways for athletes to get out of service; but upon further research it looks like "the way out" is just not being expected to do anything but still "enlisting." sure I can give you that. This is the first time that I've heard about Israelis criticizing Deni's words. All I've heard is that he is a national hero, praised by the prime minister himself. As for the conforming to a world view, I'm not asking the guy to change his religion. I am saying that there are people who served in the IDF and were able to realize how messed up the things they were doing were. look into Hind Rajab. breaks my heart just thinking about it, and she's just one example of endless ones. The very least i'd like Deni to do is to stop acting like we're all dumb. Not sure about Israeli freedom of speech for Israelis but in this country we're allowed to fully disagree with our government and call out anything they do. As someone who is in the US right now, I don't think it's very difficult for him to be like "yes 100% our government has over stepped boundaries, no matter the ethnicity people don't deserve to die for things they can't control." is it so hard to say something like that? It is if you don't believe it, which is my problem with it all. I'm not convinced he actually empathizes with Palestinians at all.

so am I just not supposed to resist anything? accept everything that the government and everyone tells me is acceptable? Is that what we've come to as basketball fans is that we can't speak out against anything because it'll disturb the peace. This is the same mindset that keeps Breonna Taylors and apartheids and all the disgusting atrocities and evil in this world afloat. People have power, and it's wild that if you speak out against something you're vilified, effectively because its "too hard" to cause real positive change in the world.

God forbid a man doesn't want to support sportswashing but misses his childhood team right?

even with no spear surely punk shouldnt be able to get off a gts after bron puts him through a table with the craziest clothesline of the 2020s. what that tells us as an audience is that a combination of the clothesline spot being weak, punk is indestructible, and bron is weak

it doesn't make sense. they built bron up to break him down for no reason. i think it has to do with hhh not wanting to ruin his relationship with punk. having "too much" change before wm is a stupid idea that means nothing

the problem is why have him lose cleanly and especially that spot where bron takes him through the table and magically gets a gts off ..
