The injuries to his victim, as listed on wikipedia: strangulation, brain concussion, closed fracture of nasal bone, contusion of rib, multiple bruises, and a neck muscle strain. This was only the first incident.
The second incident, he “threw billiard balls at Johnson’s (same woman as before) car, breaking her windshield while their children were inside the car.”
He’s a child abuser, he’s a domestic abuser, he has no place in this league whatsoever and if the league had any integrity his ban would’ve been announced when the first charges came around.
Adam Silver: “Five game suspension”
yes the world of reddit really needed this
Ok and what are we gonna do now?
The first incident is only alleged tbf
You should be more upset with the criminal justice system than the nba
As a prison abolitionist, I don’t believe that it helps people or society to outright ban an individual from their profession unless the crimes they commit are extraordinary. I actually don’t think banning people and harshly punitive sanctions do anything to actually help rehabilitate Bridges himself, or help his family or anyone involved. Bridges’ wife came out in his defence this summer, which shows how complicated these issues really are for the two of them as perpetrator and victim.
In restorative justice, the idea is that accountability is a process that involves the victim and their wishes, with great care. I can’t speak for Bridges’ wife or her family, but their voices matter more than mine or yours do, regarding this specific matter.
We all want what is best for Bridges and his family and his kids, in the end. I repeat, WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR THEM GOING FORWARD. Personally, in my opinion, I don’t think the best outcome for him and his family, including his children, will happen by banning him from the NBA for life.
Let me preface this by saying that Miles is an abuser who shouldn’t be in the league. With that being said, has there been any evidence that he did the pool ball stuff aside from his ex’s word? The same ex who was also abusive and has caused their children even more pain? She shouldn’t be trusted on her word alone.
Last time we had pictures. Miles definitely did that (heinous) stuff, as evidenced by his no contest plea.
Get that karma
NBA: best we can do is eject players taunting (because it could lead to fights)
Ok
When will people understand that there is very little the NBA can do, this rests all on the NBAPA, so if you wanna blame an entity then blame them lmao
Lmfao why do we need a reminder
No one cares
It’s the CBA and Players Union we should be directing our attention to.
Did a hornets mod remove this???
