wtf was he talking about?
lebron confused af.QuoteWhen asked whether Morey should be reprimanded for his tweet, James responded, "I think when we all sit back and learn from the situation that happened, understand that what you could tweet or could say, and we all talk about this freedom of speech -- yes, we do all have freedom of speech, but at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others and you're only thinking about yourself."
"I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. So many people could have been harmed, not just financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and what we say and what we do, even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that too."
I took his comment to be related to the China/NBA situation rather than the China/HK situation. By tweeting what he did Morey put a lot at risk financially which he "wasn't educated on the situation". I can't see how he could possibly mean the China/HK situation. He's not dumb and knows the value of his words. Maybe he should have been more explicit.
My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.
Let me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I’m not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that.

Bleh, I already feel i continued this much longer than i should have.

I felt there was a lot of 'passion' against all i said. I repeatedly said im trying to open a philosophical discussion about it. Yet i didn't see not even one slight agreement to any of my concerns. And yes, the type of counter-arguments look like convince-like, re-read them. Im sure im biased a bit and its not as much as i say ( or as much as it sounds im saying ), but it is.
i feel like a drama queen. everyone said 'idk' and argued in pretty low profile. we just disagree and you dont share my concerns. so what?
Nah it was an interesting discussion. I was saying idk not as a reaction to this thread .. but to the criticism i've read on eg reddit where people are low key sour grapes / hating by saying 'he had the shoes' or 'he had pacers' etc etc. As if the elitest of the elite doing something outworldly just to do it, invalidates their own modest achievements in running? I think the fact that it's not an official WR already establishes the special circumstances of this event. We don't really have to dwell on those aspects .. whereas when i look at the reactions like 60-80% of the reactions are saying something like 'meh .. he had pacers'. na bro, he legit ran a marathon (yes in ideal circumstances) at that pace and that's an amazing achievement in itself. Want to hear more about the achievement and less about why it's not so great. He's not some nobody doing something crazy but can't replicate it in more normal conditions which would make it more of a 'yea but' situation.

I mean come on!
not seeing what you mean there?
pc!
What i mean was:
A) how can you be so sure INEOS is not what im saying it could be? the event happened yesterday. how can you be sure it wont lead to a new type of sports? the lab-style im saying. i don't know that it will, i am not claiming it will, i know i wouldn't want it to happen and i know that INEOS is somewhat leaning to the other side. But how do you know it won't happen? Because your replies ( not yours yours andrew, im speaking to all ) don't seem to have the slightest concern.
B) the second point, is that in one of the 5 consecutive replies ( which might have also helped me misinterpret, you feel your opinion 'attacked' when you see 5 consecutive replies from 1 person ), you talked about how this attempt won't mask the marathon like i said im concerned. yet , even though this was clearly not a marathon but a 'rock-climb-like attempt' and 'will never mask the marathon', you named the topic 'Eliud Kipchoge will make another attempt at a sub2 marathon'. I mean , again, come on!
EDIT:
re-read it.
i feel like a drama queen. everyone said 'idk' and argued in pretty low profile. we just disagree and you dont share my concerns. so what?
only you adarq showed a little more 'passion' but then again its still perfectly polite and unbiased, especially considering your love for long running and the athlete himself.
apologies, lets close it here.

I'm a bit surprised by all you guys. I was just giving a possibility of a different perspective. I was wondering if this has a double meaning. If it is a start of something different. If there is any 'lab-style' vs 'free' sports case and if that is a good thing or not. And i repeatedly stated that i myself am not sure at all that there is, just thinking about it. Also that i am in awe of the achievement nevertheless. Your replies make me feel that i said i was passionately against the INEOS and you are trying to convince me about the opposite.
