Billups was not convicted of anything. He was not even charged with anything. He hasn't had a single legal problem that I know of. It is beyond me how people think they know something they can't possibly know, and then convict someone in their own minds. Yet humans have been doing it for thousands of years. Well, some humans.
You guys don't need to make the argument to me. I'm just telling you that there will be backlash because of Portland's politics.
I do not disagree with you. It is an ugly fact of human nature. For some people. I hope it's not as bad as you fear.
Because it's reality. It's the biggest negative about him. They will lose fans if they hire him. I have talked to people who do not post on this board and I would consider to be casual fans and they brought up Billups and they said they wouldn't support the team. You know what else I constantly brought up? We needed to fire Stotts. You know what else I constantly bring up? That we need to trade CJ. You know what those things all have in common? They're all true statements.
opinion doesn’t = reality. You’re making assumptions. No ones gonna care about the 10 fans they may lose. Cry about it with them.
Really.... you think the city that has been destroying its own downtown for the past year isn't going to care about a rape allegation?
For the longest time, I could not support the Blazers because of Reuben Patterson. With time, I have seen how the justice system does not always provide justice and why he accepted the plea. If Kobe is considered a legend despite his scandal, I would think Billups should not be crucified for an allegation decades ago.
