the opinions on this are totally different on Reddit and twitter

[–] NoBook9868@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Does Harden have like 8 kids with 5 women?

[–] Franz22Paolo5@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That shit was cringey as fuck. That dude needs a Reddit account to log his unhinged rants, no one wants to see that in their tv coverage.

[–] Icey-D@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It was really mean spirited and uncomfortable. The guy doesn't know Harden or what went on in each org, and yet he's reciting an open letter on national TV just trashing his character. "Pipe this into the Clippers locker room" I mean jfc this guy really thinks highly of himself.

what "values" is a sports network supposed to have?

[–] Exodus100@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I mean fuck Bally but I do want large companies to have good values, they have enough power that the decisions they make project values regardless

[–] FloweredWallpaper@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Where are these "values" inscribed, so we can compare and contrast.

[–] ngmathew1234@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Aren't they own by Sinclair.

[–] Overall_Nuggie_876@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Reminder Bally Sports is a subdivision of Sinclair, the FOX News for local networks.

[–] dcmcderm@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'll never pass up a chance to dunk on Bally Sports so here we go. I cannot stand their god damn ticker that shows random facts, out of town scores etc at the bottom of the screen. It has just enough movement that it triggers your peripheral vision and you can't stop yourself from glancing down at it every 5 fuckin seconds. It is so damn distracting that I invented a cardboard rectangle thingy from an Amazon delivery package I strap to my TV to block it out during games. They can go straight to hell.

It’s a good thing that video is now wiped from the internet forever /s

[–] dbinkowski@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Reason 4,690,885 Bally's sucks.

As long as we have this gem of a speech on YouTube, we're good.

[–] Doncicfuturegoat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hate bally sports but they should have done it and the video was full of shortcuts and lies, it was nice and fun because he was talking about Harden and this sub has a hate boner for him and it's fun to hate to him.

[–] Qoppa_Guy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Delete it all you want, I gave it lots of viewings and can probably say the entire thing verbatim.

[–] Kak0r0t@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

James Harden soft Mavs analyst was spot on about Harden

[–] Smelldicks@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] fueelin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

In the last week, I've gone from "what is this Bally Sports bullshit?" (when I was struggling to find a Celtics-commentator stream for our game against the TWolves) to "oh shit Bally Sports rules" (when I saw this legendary rant).

Guess I have to go back to thinking Bally Sports is some bullshit.

[–] spicyfartz4yaman@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] Rainey06@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It contained too much truth for your average network.

[–] sickofmodernart@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lol he wasn't wrong, though.

[–] Mygaffer@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

To me it felt both needlessly harsh but also devoid of important context, everything presented in the worst light possible to Harden.

I get why it went viral but probably the right move to take it down. Not that you can ever scrub it from the internet once it's been published.

[–] Sofialovesmonkeys@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Meanwhile Spurs aunnouncers roast Larden all the time😭

[–] LionsFan42000@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bally sports more like smelly sports lmao

[–] endogeny@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] GobliNSlay3r@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Dude went hard on Harden. Frfr. Did a 🎤 drop and everything. Looked dead at the camera and said - You are the problem

[–] kapeck69@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Telling the truth is against their values?!

[–] Technician-Temporary@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] pocketverse@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Like it wasn't saved by a lot of people and surely won't blow up more. Right?

[–] _topochico@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I wish their service actually working was a part of their values. Isn’t it a branch off of a sports betting company though, what values are they referring to exactly, did the statement hurt their stock price?

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

BSS: Here at Bally Sports Southwest, we feel that the truth packaged in a reasonable manner is inconsistent with our value that focus on gossip, innuendo, and click-bait titles.

[–] SuperSocrates@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] SuperSocrates@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lol at this guy whining about a coach crying

[–] Senior_Apartment_343@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Guy should get a raise

[–] boomgottem@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

At least we know they are against murder now

[–] DFisBUSY@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I see Harden reached out to his Chinese connects to put the pressure on Bally Sports Southwest.

[–] headphonehabit@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] grand_insom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Getting cooked so bad that the league has to step in 😂😂

[–] Aggressive_Ad2633@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Going bankrupt is usually a top priority, not censoring someone that’s spot on

[–] cletoreyes01@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Good to hear that James now has an agent

[–] Adorable-Physics-782@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If their job is to promote the league taking shots at one of the greatest players of the generation is not a good look. Mavs guy is made because Harden is 40-20 Vs his favorite team and this is his chance to take out some of the frustration he has felt over the years.

[–] Mantequilla022@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bally has values?

[–] IHateYouKids@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Good. He ain't wrong but it's the prettiest shit

[–] Bat-Buttz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lame decision, that was a great take and 100 percent truth was spoken. I doubt this network really has any values though, just likes to use it as a key word.

[–] KingRequiem@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It was very unprofessional.

[–] lesh17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Streisand Effect incoming.

[–] JimmyTheIntern@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Damn, well then it'd be a real shame if people kept posting links to it it in this thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE3_WfFei00

[–] LJPinstripes@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There values 🤣🤣🤣 values of losing

[–] ISISCosby@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bally Sports Network Values:

  1. Ensure their customers feel fully & completely fucked over via regional blackouts & a streaming service that doesn't work literally 90% of the time.

  2. Be a voice for hire in local news by going on a one-company crusade to end local news investigative journalism and providing a sense of safety to big business, shady politicians and corrupt police departments who know that if their local news station is owned by Sinclair (Bally's parent company), they can do whatever they want and no journalist will come snooping around.

  3. Blast half the country with "fake news" propaganda & fear-mongering (see: that YT compilation vid) like some sort of 1984 cosplay

  4. Refuse to talk bad about James Harden lol wut

  5. Suck so bad at business you have to declare bankruptcy and become a zombie corporation not even a full month into the NBA season

End of list
