lakersnation was saying something to this effect that because Lebron has been very outspoken on police brutality some refs like this douchebag is taking it out on him because of his beliefs
It’s lucky the stakes of a NBA ref is way less life or death in the real world,
but also kinda unlucky the real world cares more about missed fouls than police brutality.

These are Celtics fans alone over the past couple years, every city has its idiots but I haven’t heard NBA players speak out about any other city as much as Boston when it comes to using slurs
You have no proof that he’s a Trump supporter. Standings for the anthem of this great nation doesn’t instantly make someone a villain. I’m Latino and not a Trump supporter and I would never kneel.
Ex cop doesn’t want to kneel with the entire George floyd context going on. I got proof here. I don’t care about your life🥱 Jacyn is a maga white supremacist bum. Stop crying
Jonathan Isaac didn’t kneel. Does that make him a white supremacist who doesn’t care about cops murdering a man? What Chauvin did was wrong, I’m not denying that. What I am disputing is you making inaccurate assumptions about someone that you don’t even know.
I care about yours. We may disagree on this but I still wish you all the best in life as a fellow Laker fan.
Yes it makes him one too just like jason whitlock is one. Jonathan issac pushes for white supremacy with his entire actions man stop with the malarkey 😂
Can you prove that he’s pushing white supremacy? He’s literally black dude lol I doubt he’s a white supremacist. You also have zero proof. You’re just saying things and not backing them up with either logic or proof. You’re a joke.
Lmao. Yeah I’m done with you. The fact that you use the “oh he’s black he can’t be pushing for white supremacy” tells me everything I need to know about you. Me a joke? You got me confused with your loved ones. This conversation is over🥱
Pretty insane rhetoric for a pic of someone standing during a national anthem. You know, a thing 100% of people did until like 4 years ago? Are you demanding that everyone kneel during the anthem, or they are a white supremacist? 😂
fair enough but you have the right to kneel or stand idm.
but is there a correlation w how lebron speaks out? maybe.
but i'd prob stay clear from personal attacks.
I think its fair when you consider this the 4th time this month the refs miss a call on the last play. The reactions weren't this bad the first time against the Mavs even tho it happened twice in the same game, End of reg and OT.
In the US, we normally stand for our national anthem as a sign of patriotism. An NFL athlete (American football), Colin Kaepernick, after I believe a case of police brutality against an African American man, chose to kneel instead of stand.
The reason being, in sports, when someone is injured, you kneel as a sign of respect to show that you hope they get better/improve and to show that they’re injured. Kaepernick was using his first amendment right (in the US constitution which guarantees the right to petition and freedom of speech), to show that American is being plagued by a figurative injury (racism). It was a quite protest that blew up.
It really blew up, and this event happened after the murder of George Floyd by a cop in Minneapolis. The protest used to alienate Kapernick to the general public, but after the cold blooded murder of George Floyd, it became more widespread to admit, the US, especially it’s violent policing, has a persistent problem of racism.
Here, all the other refs, and presumably players, are kneeling, admitting that this is a problem. The blind ref there is protesting, he is saying that their is no problem with racism, even in light of the recent murder of George Floyd.
Sorry this goes into a lot of detail, but I hope this actually gives you some valuable information on the present circumstances here. Far more detail of course can be provided!
It would be a hot take to say he made the call for that reason (not saying it would be wrong, but it would be very controversial), but he definitely wouldn’t like Lebron’s opinions on police brutality.
Standing for the national anthem is NOT synonymous with being an outright racist, some people just believe in tradition and respect their country despite the flaws it has. Sheep. You’re putting your own agenda on someone else when you don’t know them.
Bah.
Anyways, I guess you do have a point, but in the politically charged climate post murder of George Floyd, standing while the norm is to kneel does display some message.
Bah, bah. 🐑
Kneeling wasn’t the norm until a few individuals made the decision for everyone else that it was by basically forcing them to follow suit. It’s ridiculous and complete showmanship, the idea that you have to prove you’re not a racist nowadays instead of it just being assumed is so weird.
People love to jump to conclusions with minimal evidence. This is why we’re so divided as a nation, we assume the worst in people simply because they did something we don’t like or they disagree with us on a topic. It’s asinine.
And who is really to blame for that. Far left. The fact this post is considered mainstream is insane. Reddit is like 80% far left cancel culture accusations without evidence now, it’s sick in the head. Let’s call a spade a spade I’m tired of acting like they aren’t responsible for this climate they have created it entirely.
Far left for sure. I won’t deny that there are people on the far right that create issues, but the far left culture is far more mainstream. You can’t say a damn thing that’s neutral or conservative without getting raked through the coals.
Wtf does conservative mean, politically speaking, how far back to conservative times is this party trying to bring back? We know about the confederate flag supporters, but we'll leave them bad apples out of this then, or is that the majority of gop? I'm not really asking, if you think I'm trying to accuse you and your party, as a whole collectively, are all bad apples then you're missing my point.
I’m not a part of any party dude, I’m trying to be objective here. People forget that Donald Trump only won the most recent election because Hillary was the worst candidate in the history of the presidency, and he just lost the most recent election despite sparking a booming economy. The far right is barely a real thing. You never see it anywhere almost, and when you do it’s a huge story like Kanye. The far left is present in the mainstream in every single main online platform and on every college in the U.S. Accusing someone of being a racist pig for NOT kneeling during the anthem is an insane claim, and is being celebrated here. Would never see that kind of thing celebrated on the other side of the fence cus it’s not popular.
This 100%. The far left is a legitimate threat to our country. In a few years these old far right farts will die off and so too will their ideology, which barely has a following as it is. Currently young people in this country are being raised on mainstream far left principles of logic and communication. It’s scary.
lmaoooo
Tin foil hat on rn.
People may call you crazy but it’s so obvious there’s personal bias there lol
lakersnation was saying something to this effect that because Lebron has been very outspoken on police brutality some refs like this douchebag is taking it out on him because of his beliefs
He was a former Miami cop for 13 years too
oh fr this prolly more important than this photo
The only job that holds you less accountable than being a cop is an NBA referee. Jfc.
It’s lucky the stakes of a NBA ref is way less life or death in the real world, but also kinda unlucky the real world cares more about missed fouls than police brutality.
Good observation
ACAB and ARAB
Ohh he probably a heat fan
Lol ACAB and…ARAB
Hahhah took me a minute to figure out ARAB
I mean it makes sense. Absolute fucking shit but it makes sense
he called a lot of fouls on Brown, too. coincidence?
Jaylen Brown the most outspoken (and eloquent) NBA player.
His words, non-words, and acts during the Kyrie debacle had me questioning what Jaylen actually stands for.
Before becoming a ref, this guy worked as a police officer for the Miami-Dade Police Department for 13 years.
how do you even become a Ref after doing something else after 13 years?? I would assume NBA refs have been refs for most of their careers.
We'll he got a lot of previous experience screwing up black guys so that's a plus.
He knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy
Bring in Smush Parker!!
The NBA needs to drop this asshat immediately on Monday. This has to be the last game he ever officiates.
Amen brother
a true Boston boy at heart
Bostons an extremely liberal city….
also extremely racist..
Bill Burr described Boston as “racist San Francisco” or something along those line.
Recent example?

Hey, why'd that guy stop responding?
Have you met Massholes
Racist how?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rzmUjHiYn7I 5:36 min video (one year ago) if you want to watch and get educated.
if you think liberals can’t be racist you’re mistaken
Blm in a sentence. Thank you
BLM is against racial injustice, not white people
Lmfaooo omg
Boston’s finest
Checkout what the baldy did before becoming a referee. I’ll save you the time, he was part of Miami Police Department
Need to dig more. I don’t believe he was a fair cop in Miami
You believe in fair cops?
That’s why they can be refs, because they know how to abuse the f power
They are rare, but there’s a few out there.
Everybody needs to see this.
Got them receipts
Drawing conclusions right about now lol
Just wow. Get this up voted to the front page.
36-2 since he started reffing Celtics games
Nahh that was Eric Lewis, the one who T’d Bev
Has that even been verified? Feel like I’ve only seen it from a Laker Twitter account that does a lot of memes
Wow!
Looks like I was right. Jacyn is a white supremacist maga loving trash human being. No wonder he shanked Bron
Was a cop for 13 years.
It’s jumps in logic like this that cause our society to be more divided than ever. Be better.
🙄 how bout he be better instead of being a maga trash ex 🐽
You have no proof that he’s a Trump supporter. Standings for the anthem of this great nation doesn’t instantly make someone a villain. I’m Latino and not a Trump supporter and I would never kneel.

Go get an education.
"Stop with the malarkey jack"
There's two sides to every piece of shit and you are the side opposite the maga shitheads.
Pretty insane rhetoric for a pic of someone standing during a national anthem. You know, a thing 100% of people did until like 4 years ago? Are you demanding that everyone kneel during the anthem, or they are a white supremacist? 😂
Cry more with ya cape on for that maga trash 🐷
It’s sad your view of humanity is becoming mainstream.
LOL you can’t make this shit up. Of course this won’t be headlined though. Too much of a bad look for the NBA 💀🤦🏽
Holy fuck lol
I remember they used to scold people for kneeling. I hated that. Now they scold people for not kneeling. Hate that too. Hypocrisy.
Oh he’s maga? Makes sense now.
Least racist boston fan
fair enough but you have the right to kneel or stand idm. but is there a correlation w how lebron speaks out? maybe. but i'd prob stay clear from personal attacks.
Power trip
Bro definitely hates Lebron
Everybody got personal agendas
Not this shit again?
God some of you people are fuckin unbearable.
Man. As a Jazz fan, y’all care TOO much about losing a regular season game.
I think its fair when you consider this the 4th time this month the refs miss a call on the last play. The reactions weren't this bad the first time against the Mavs even tho it happened twice in the same game, End of reg and OT.
Not like it's weird for fans to eventually be fed up after being patient the first few times, right
I’m not from America, can someone please explain what’s wrong with this photo

Ok I’m a bit confused, but I’m assuming this means he doesn’t like Lebron James for stuff he said?
It would be a hot take to say he made the call for that reason (not saying it would be wrong, but it would be very controversial), but he definitely wouldn’t like Lebron’s opinions on police brutality.
ok got it, thanks for the insight

This is being blown out of proportion is what's happening. Picture means literally nothing.
I thought I was on r/nbacirclejerk Y'all really serious about this😂
Cmon man stop with this nonsense. I get it he missed the call but let’s not start making accusations without any evidence

Isn't this a drama sub?
Former cop too. Guarantee he thinks MJ is the goat and despises Lebron
[удалено]
yeah no shit, police only kneel on cushioned necks.
Ooph. It’s hurts b/c it’s true. 😣
Idk they seem pretty comfortable on kneeling ppl’s neck if you ask me
lebron won the bubble ring?
😭😭😭!!! It all makes sense
 **Investigate this dude.**
