the opinions on this are totally different on Reddit and twitter

Does Harden have like 8 kids with 5 women?
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.
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?
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
Where are these "values" inscribed, so we can compare and contrast.
Aren't they own by Sinclair.
Reminder Bally Sports is a subdivision of Sinclair, the FOX News for local networks.
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
Reason 4,690,885 Bally's sucks.
awwww
As long as we have this gem of a speech on YouTube, we're good.
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.
Delete it all you want, I gave it lots of viewings and can probably say the entire thing verbatim.
James Harden soft Mavs analyst was spot on about Harden
Soft
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.
Weak
It contained too much truth for your average network.
Lol he wasn't wrong, though.
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.
Meanwhile Spurs aunnouncers roast Larden all the time😭
Bally sports more like smelly sports lmao
Charmin
Dude went hard on Harden. Frfr. Did a 🎤 drop and everything. Looked dead at the camera and said - You are the problem
Telling the truth is against their values?!
#woke
Like it wasn't saved by a lot of people and surely won't blow up more. Right?
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?
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.
Booooooo
Lol at this guy whining about a coach crying
Guy should get a raise
At least we know they are against murder now
I see Harden reached out to his Chinese connects to put the pressure on Bally Sports Southwest.
Lame
Getting cooked so bad that the league has to step in 😂😂
Going bankrupt is usually a top priority, not censoring someone that’s spot on
Good to hear that James now has an agent
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.
Bally has values?
Good. He ain't wrong but it's the prettiest shit
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.
It was very unprofessional.
Streisand Effect incoming.
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
There values 🤣🤣🤣 values of losing
Bally Sports Network Values:
-
Ensure their customers feel fully & completely fucked over via regional blackouts & a streaming service that doesn't work literally 90% of the time.
-
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.
-
Blast half the country with "fake news" propaganda & fear-mongering (see: that YT compilation vid) like some sort of 1984 cosplay
-
Refuse to talk bad about James Harden lol wut
-
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
