Can you blame him? Pretty sure about this but I believe his father was a career criminal before he died and you know Nuk probably doesn’t want to be associated with something he’s worked so hard to separate himself from

"Inmates are running the asylum" "too many chiefs, not enough indians" "too many cooks in the kirchen" "one bad apple spoils the bunch" this is simply the way people communicate. There is no implication that the subjects are Inmates, chiefs, cooks, or apples.

Certainly he/they have dealt with worse situations without having to take a "personal day"?

Heck, if all of us dealt with such a scenario in the same manner, we would never get anything done.
Thank goodness we don't "mail it in" here in the real world.

He can quit. If he’s truly against what the owner said then he should find another home to make 60 million. You guys need to grow a flippn backbone and take off the orange tinted glasses. It appears he feels entitled as most everyone else in America does. He’s not.

Context is everything


Oct 27, 2017, 7:32 PM

If I were to interview a woman for a job, for me to comment on her appearance at any length would be pretty inappropriate. Why? In and of itself there wouldn't necessarily be anything wrong with such a comment, but the history of treatment of women at work, the possible insinuation that I'm expecting something, again because of the history of such comments, then it's just not a good thing to do.

Black people have been arrested to get them to work on sugar plantations, jailed because they lack money to pay fines or make bail, and they are disproportionately represented in the "inmate" population. So... probably not a good thing to say to mostly black athletes.

I do think people need to understand the intent of the speaker, but speakers need to understand the history of the people they are speaking to.
