Of course they will now reply and say, rose is still guilty of mis- treating a female. And so are 70% or more knick fans (made up number of course) and 90% of any young stud in their sexual prime.Stick to the facts first....leave the assumptions and bias views alone. Treat everybody equal....Remember innocent before proven guilty? That actually applies to everybody, not just a select few.
Life is full of success and learning lessons.....Lets hope Rose learned his lesson from this.....and can now focus on basketball.
guilty or innocent, in the grand scheme of things, he still did something with someone, mistreatment notwithstanding, that is kind of disgusting. he's not a member of isis, he's not donald trump, but this sort of event still impugns his character and smarts, and the people he surrounds himself with.
Some people think group sex is disgusting....others get turned on by it. Who am I to judge.
Only God can judge a mans heart.....I look at knick players like family members. I lean more on the positive optimistic side. If he was with the bulls, then i mightve been a little harder on him. Im not saying your right or wrong.....just showing how its ok to have a different perspective on the same situation. The only thing i dont like is when people arent treated equal due to unconscious biases.
yes unconscious bias is a genuine psychological phenomenon everyone has to deal with-- unless they are in denial or simply refuse to explore themselves. i would like to give any knick the benefit of the doubt as though they were someone i know personally, but if that person behaves badly or stupidly or in a way that gives me the creeps, i can't look past that. i am not in the "hate the sin, love the sinner" mold. jr smith, marbury, melo until recently, kidd with the dwi in the hamptons, now rose. and of course there's the lowlife twins thomas and dolan.
as others have said, rose may be a knick but knowing what sort of shenanigans he has been involved with, it makes him harder to root for. and for me, i don't like people who do not show inwardness and contrition, or take ownership of their deeds.
Rose doesn't show inwardness??? Are you for real? Contrition??? What exactly would that look like to you, Father dk7th?
Doe: Derrick, I've decided two years later, that you and your boys raped me. $21.5 million please. I think that's only one year's gross salary for you, if my lawyers are informing me correctly.
Rose: You have got to be outside your mind lady.
Doe: Maybe just a simple act of sorrow would suffice.
Rose: What the eff are you talking about?
Doe: I want you to kneel and tell me how heartfully sorry you are...in public, possibly in front of TMZ reporters...
Rose: Turning inwardly now, I've decided you are crazyazz, bat**** gold digger and I advise you and your lawyers to go confess yourself into a hole. How's that?
Doe: I'd be willing to settle for half...with a written confession mailed to my family's church...
Rose: "click"
