Many people (players, team owners, former officials, sports columnists) have all said things similar to Ayesha's tweet, yet it is their ideas that are dismissed, not the person. So the problem was not Ayesha's tweet, it was the fact she even had an opinion.

Steph threw his mouth guard and cursed out a referee. Kerr criticized the referees and defended Steph's actions. Yet is was Ayesha - also coming to the defense of her husband- that gets reminded that she represents her husband and his organization, and that her behavior is out of line from some supposed etiquette. She's called obnoxious, offensive, attention seeking, needs to shut up, naggity. That Steph and Kerr are not representative of themselves, but she is of them. The uproar was not from Steph and Kerr's actions, but that Ayesha had something to say. This reflects a culture of relegating the role of a woman, and conditioning masculinity in the NBA.

When you say someone's wife tweeted something obnoxious and offensive about his company, the implication is that the husband could be harmed by it, a la finances.

And sorry, reverse roles is a tone deaf argument. And how I would feel in a similar situation is not analogous to the!

No it's not about sexism, it's about obnoxious and innapropiate conduct of a spouse/close family member. It's the same thing with LaVar ball. He needs to shut up and stop embarrassing his kids. Do you think what he is doing is appropriate behavior? If not is that sexism too?

"Many people" as in people that work or have worked in the industry? What a terrible comparison. Any other spouses/close family members of players?

And no criticizing Ayesh's behavior doesn't imply it will affect her husband financially at all. If I thought so I would have said that. Stop assuming things.

It's pretty telling how you keep refusing to answer how you would feel if your spouse publicly criticized your company and people that work there.

But I am not that someone, therefor you're quoting the wrong person, and by that, your Durant comment didn't make any sense as to what I have said.

Thanks

Actually, he has everything to do with what you said about the emotions of Warriors fans after losing the finals. Call it a pick me up. Thanks!

Yet again you lack reading comprehension. It had nothing to do with her being a woman. Close family member. The actions of Steve Kerr and curry were fine. They're players. It's the jokers like speights who started talking trash about the best player in the league and Thompson as well. Sorry that those stupid a-- comments woke the giant up last year. draymond even had the right to talk trash after the incident since it was about him during play. Go back and read again and maybe you can figure it out.

Sav mentioned Lavar Ball. It's not Lonzo's mother spouting crap. It's the man. Yes he is a fool. A guy who couldn't make it in his own try at sports and pushes and pushes his kids and is an obnoxious jagof as Cuban would say.

She's a baketball wife. Her role is to shut up, look pretty, and not speak.

She's a total diva with obvious daddy issues. She craves attention that dad never gave her.

I feel sorry for Steph. But alas, it's the bay area. Where even basketball wives boss their men around. Hahaha beta male bay area. Can't wait to see BronBron punk the whole warriors team again.
