I don't really care about the specifics. It's more than Dame doesn't want to be a Trail Blazer. He no longer wishes to reside in Portland. It's his life, it's his business. I get that he may wish to live in Miami, he has the financial means to do so in the offseason. Where he lives for his job may be a different place. The unusual thing about his predicament is that he doesn't just have to divorce his wife and his family, he has to divorce his team. And his team has the majority of the say. It stinks he no longer wants anything to do with us or our town, but it's his life. I think delving into any specifics is really none of my business. It's the result of his desires that matter to us.
I'm going today (Saturday)! Hoping to get there a bit after lunch. I went last year and it was a blast. Really looking forward to it. Stone In Love was my favorite last year. They're playing tonight at 9 pm.
He can like whatever he wants to like and try to mend fences but he didn't talk down the "only Miami" crap and that'll always chap my ass and that part is unforgivable. Two faced mfer.
Let's be careful talking about Dame's marriage. At this point there is no factual basis around it. It's just rumors and gossip. We may not be happy with him leaving, but stay away from the man's personal life, especially when we have no idea if the rumors are true.
Oh man you missed queen last night. Absolutely incredible!! I have all weekend passes. Its walking distance from my place. Stone In Love is also incredible. Sewn them a few times. Kevin, the lead singer, mixed and mastered my album. Jason fellman, the drummer, is the coordinator of harefest
Why? He's a public figure. It arguably relates to the Blazers. We talk about whether players "want to live in Portland" all the time, and that's a personal thing. We talk about a player's knee or back or mental health, and that's all personal information. Having some specific rule about "you can't talk about a player's marriage" seems arbitrary and sui generis.
That makes no sense at all and personal shots at me or others who disagree with you doesn't make it make sense.
The only reason why I’m at all interested in the topic is because I think it could explain why we are seeing this massive shift in character from him.
I hear you. I also think that it's helpful for things to be addressed (like where il gave us facts in the face of some internet chatter). We're adults here and should be able to kick ideas around without being treated like inhumans or grade schoolers.
Lol when I came out as trans three separate coworkers asked me to my face when I was getting a divorce. My opthomolgist asked me to describe a vaginoplasty ("the surgery") to him. Dame can handle a few people wondering if he's extra friendly with his stylist these days.
There is a difference and you know it. For one, it's not even known fact. It's fatuous to be spreading such rumors if they are indeed spurious. Despite our aversions to Dame requesting a trade, we shouldn't be besmirching the man's name, especially without sound fact, but anyway. There are places you just don't go. Ab respectus.
