It's almost as if the Zebras just wanna ruin the fun. Imagine if this was the first time a kid was able to see Giannis in person? All that time, money, and effort to see your favorite player just for them to get the boot.

To eject Giannis over that, but a few days ago Draymond Green is allowed to run and yell at refs for 45 seconds and gets no tech for it is just a gross display of abusive power.

Imagine Patrick Mahomes got ejected from a game for taunting after 22mins lol. Chiefs fans would storm the field.

Almost every single game there's serious legit complaints about the refs on both sides.

Silver needs to fix it, stop worrying about the All Star game.

Refs have genuinely been atrocious this year. I've been watching whole-ass slates and see multiple erroneous, game-tilting calls per-game.

With how widespread sports betting is now v. Donaghy years, you have to imagine...

maybe giannis should stop racking up those techs. he got ejected cause this was his second tech of the game lmao. or i guess at least ask him to keep it to one tech a game if you have to have him act like this every game.

The whole point is that he shouldn’t have been given a technical in the first place.

If Curry can run around the court hollering and making a Home Alone face (which I loved, to be clear) then a player should be able to do a "you thought you could stop me?" stare down. It's entertainment.

If he gets physical or something then sure, eject him. But he didn't, so idk why tf the tech was called.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a player ejected in the NFL, there are times when you are sure it's coming and then it's not even a personal foul. When they do happen it's always for head hunting. Comparing this, side by side with that, makes the NBA look fucking pathetic.

That jackass on the Broncos has been ejected multiple times this year, once for a dirty hit against GB tight end Luke Musgrave

[–] thegodfaubel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There were 16 ejections last year in the NFL last year alone (including Packers Quay Walker in the final game)

Edit: also 7 so far this year (2 were in preseason tho)

[–] Westcoastchi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And I'm sure that almost all of them were because of a physical infraction (I do know that the Quay Walker ejection was due to him shoving the Lions trainer).

Josh Allen just got a taunting flag for pointing at a guy, I hate that it's a penalty in any sport.

You're proving why your point is bad. Superstars should have different rules?
