Shaq Faces Backlash For "Inappropriate" Comments Towards Angel Reese

konceptjones said:
You ever got jumped? Didn't the folks around you ask why you got jumped or what was their beef with you? Ain't you the victim in that situation? Why are they asking that?
Nigga gets robbed in the hood for his jewels: "Damn, nigga! You know better than to be shinin' over that way!"
Nigga gets beatdown/shot at for fuckin another niggas woman: "Nigga you know she had a man/husband! Fuck was you thinking???"

Shit happens all the time. And truthfully, it probably needs to happen more often.

And, let's not paint her as some kind of victim either; she's not. The nigga wasn't trying to push up on her, trying to get in her drawls, making statements about imagining them fucking or what she tastes like or no shit like that. He made a crass statement about an outfit she actually wore on a show that's seen internationally by millions of people. He could have left her out of it and just referenced the type of outfit, but he didn't.

Lol. No I aint never been jumped. Fuck kinda example is that? Lol. I get the point you're trying to make. It's not lost on anybody. It's just a point that's not going to get you the desired results you want and has proven not to.

As far as her being a victim..you can word it however you want. She was on the receiving end of something she didn't want, asked to be stopped, and was done by someone she trusted not to do what was done. There's no cleaning that up no matter what word or phrasing you wanna use. It's still fucked up.
 
Humans also tend to be mad nuanced whereas systems and shit, not so much

There will be variance but for the most part, systems are pretty absolute

There is a reason why you will get two different results from people that experienced the exact same situation

Exactly. People often forget the humanity aspect when analyzing situations

Of course this is the case.

There are still absolute contributing factors in any given situation and we should be willing to point them out and willing to accept it when our own contribution is pointed out.

Then I think this goes back to self control

It costs you absolutely nothing to just keep your thoughts to yourself. You can absolutely think it but exercising the discipline to keep it to yourself is next level
 
I feel like Lonious and Monk are saying something differen. Yes we know it’s up to an individual to do what they need to protect themselves physically and emotionally and etc. but many times athletic women are sexualized just because they are women. Nobody is surprised by creep niggas being creepy and I do think nights needs to be checked more for a lot of shit that slides.

It’s a million women who have experienced what she experienced from somebody they didn’t expect even if they was was out or not. But say she wore something that didn’t have her cheeks out but you could still she she is fit and Shaq still said something?

I remember folks talking about that basketball coach that is fine asf and none of her stuff is revealing or trying to draw attention. She just fine. What does an attractive woman have to wear to not hear creepy shit.

First bolded: This ain't one of those times. From what I gather, she regularly posts revealing pics on whatever social media platform she's on. She's sexualized because she presents herself as such including her outfit on Wild N Out. Sorry, but having your ass cheeks out is presenting yourself in a sexual manner regardless on what y'all try to say. Half the time I think niggas defending that shit just wanna see some cheeks freely with minimal effort on the street and any attempt to put a stop to it is met with shaming and harsh criticism.

Second bolded: I doubt Shaq says anything if she didn't have her ass out. If anything he prolly would have said something about WNBA players dunking while wearing booty shorts without a reference to her. Still crass, but at least she ain't involved.

The bold is inaccurate. If that's what you're basing your pov on that's false. Vast majority of her pics on social media, especially this year, have been pregame outfits and promotions for companies she's signed to. Seriously just go scroll her IG and see how many "revealing" pics you see. It aint that many

I'm not with the exception of my own daughters, who dress modestly. If these chicks want that for themselves, more power. Just understand what comes with doing all of that.

However, there are those people that complain about how these young chicks are showing entirely too much of themselves (even some young women are complaining) and that's met with a lot of pushback not only from the young ladies doing it but from some of the men around them.

And it really is the younger folks. Women my age tend to keep it covered with the exception of maybe showing a bit of cleavage, which, let's face it, has been a thing for decades. Shit my 8th grade homeroom/science teacher was regularly showing cleavage.

The vast majority of pictures you'll find of Angel Reese are tame as hell. So basing this off "she shows her ass on the regular" by Koncept and some others in this thread is flaw as hell.

Bruh he cool but he older and conservative. Old heads be exaggerating a bit
 
Can’t watch Twitter videos on my phone (because I have an ad-blocker) so I haven’t seen it.

Based on y’all’s comments, Shaq apparently said something really dumb and inappropriate to a young WNBA player that he is supposedly “mentoring” and she took offense to it.

If that’s what happened, then yeah, Shaq was wrong.

11 pages?

I’m not really sure what the back & forth is about🤷🏾‍♂️

Or am I missing something?

@konceptjones just stubborn and @The Lonious Monk argues for sport.

I agree with them for the most part tho. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Here's the video:




Here's the stills:

and this is what Shaq said to Angel Reese while discussing ways the WNBA could fill the seats and generate more revenue:

"Imagine if you in them same lil shorts you had on at the Wild 'n Out show, dunking. You know how many tee shirts you gone sell?"

That's cool...but at least be accurate. Basing an entire stance on something easily disproved is hilarious

I don't do IG/Twitter, so my ability to view them is limited. Having said that, a simple google image search provided a good number of pics of her with even less on and showing more skin than the outfit she had on for her appearance on Wild N Out. That's what I based my stance on... 'Cause those pics DO exist.

Your argument was "she posts pictures regularly in revealing clothing". You do a Google image search right now the first 30 pics are of her in a uniform. You're wrong. You're speaking from a more conservative pov in terms of how women dress and that's fine. But you're still wrong.
