Kid Rock is all man. He would never
Rock took up the behind, probably still does. His false over the top display just proves it. All these anti trans guys are just phonies. Most guys who are secure don't have any reactions to gays or trans. Some one go into Rocks twitter and let him know we all know he is just hiding. Can't wait for some one to come forward

Without pretending to know what actually makes anyone tick, it does seem Kid Rock and Ja are both compensating for some sort of insecurity, wherever they picked it up. Ja as a wannabe gangster and Kid Rock as a wannabe redneck. Seeking to intimidate people with less power and showing off. It’s bullying and posing, not what a real tough guy does of course. I don’t give two s#!ts about canceling, I just think their behavior is sad and pathetic.

. Rock and Ja both want to be tough guys with guns. Funny, I have lived all my life in the Bronx and own a home now in the South Bronx and I have never felt the need to want a gun for self defense. And these fools who live in great areas and have body guards if they need one need as many as they can buy.

Some facts. He lives in a state where guns are legal.
Like some mentioned, some other stars like Kid Rock brandish guns and yet it's okay.
Doubt he is the only NBA player with a gun.
Question should only be if he did anything illegal?
Is he bringing it to any NBA facilities?
Ramifications will be felt with lost sponsorship deals.

Those in the media crucifying the kid should note he is just another immature kid with money.
Stupid. Irresponsible. Out of touch with the real world. Does not realize his hood friends are not the norm.
However, once again, has he done anything illegal?
Broken NBA conduct? Which has specified penalties.

Question for me is where is his father?
Same guy at every game. Same guy who coached him.
How is he not talking to him and guiding him?
If not about danger of guns but branding hits from acting the way he is.
Family needs to get involved and not let the irresponsible peers be the advisors.

No one in this conversation has stated he has done anything illegal. No one is saying he can't play and own guns. Let him buy an arsenal every day. Yet his conduct indicates sheer stupidity and wanna be thuggery. My point is he wants to play tough guy he will eventually collide with real thugs who will drop him. League does not want to lose a star to that. Terrible for the NBA and will only reinforce a very ugly negative stereo type about black men and guns in the American imagination. But whatever, it's his life. Let, him throw it away. That can be a positive cautionary tale to millions of young people as well, if he ends up how many people fear

Mentioned media as the ones stating he should be thrown out of the NBA.
Also mentioned how I feel about that type of behavior personality.
Only mentioned the fact let's not act like he is posting videos of illegal activities.
Don't agree he will end up dead because he likes guns.
Unfortunately, many in this country love guns. Rose millions are doing just fine.

Not defending his actions as being mature or intelligent.
Everyone has the right to make a character evaluation based on a video.
Point is, that is what people are doing.

With Ja’s history, and a recent apology. Then to repeat the same offense? That shows a serious sign of immaturity, regardless of race. Now there’s still a double standard in the nba / america. But Ja was raised better than this. Him trying to prove he’s some tough guy is impacting not just him but his great great grandkids.

I hope this is a learning lesson for young guys out there. Maturity is not an age thing, it’s how you live your life and who you surround yourself with. New levels new devils.
