    Lillard's great. I hope several of you follow his lead, and not comment about anything :)

    Guilt by association is a common antagonism by Portlantifa types which is the kind we are dealing with here.

    It’s not the point? It’s the entire point.

    Yeah, I was thinking that Lillard would be the life of the party on a message board.

    He couldn’t have picked a worse person to back. I almost feel like it was on purpose so he could come back later and say… I wanted Kidd and they didn’t get him

    And you don’t think responding to him and assuming that he hates women and is sexist because of it isn’t going over the top?
    Seems a bit hasty.
    Shit, at least give him time to be like “oh yeah,
    I spoke too soon. My bad.”
    But no, it’s always straight to the “OMG ABUSIVE SYMPATHIZER, SEXIST!”
    Some people even said, “oh maybe he spoke without all the facts” and people were commenting “don’t care, still lost my respect!”

    Maybe he legit didn’t think about it.
    Many people didn’t know about Billups.

    Anyway, shouldn’t have even brought it up, my apologies to the forum.

    Huh? You said that Damian deserved to be “heard” about wanting Kidd. Not a single person would be opposed to listening to him in this city. He’s treated like a god. But instead he picked fucking Jason kidd and that got shot down. As it should. People are supposed to be patient and wait for someone to educate Lillard on Kidd or send him mugshots or what?

    Who did that? Random Twitter people? I supposed someone would need to put themselves in the position of ‘what if my sister was the one he hit’, and see why people jumped all over this. Until then too bad. Lesson learned.

    So shouldn't people do that for Dame? They didn't.

    I mean, that was what my whole post was about. “There was a movement on Twitter and Facebook to @Dame” and tell him how horrible of a person he is.

    and the other premise was, if you want to say “too bad, lesson learned” he is well within his rights to say fuck this, I’m not answering media questions anymore that can lead to misconstrued answers if it can be misjudged this easily.

    which is what this entire thread is about. Dame not answering media questions and I can’t blame him one bit.

    no one is saying Kidd should or shouldn’t have been shot down. I’m saying how they went about it is probably what resulted in Dame saying, “nah, no more answering questions.”
