Facts: There are no night clubs in Newport Beach CA that are 16+. Most are 21+ with only 2 that are 18+. Given that the Criminal investigation was started in Newport, and the fact that the girl is under 18, the family may not be cooperative because 1) If they cooperate they could be in legal trouble as She was in a place that her age could be assumed to be 18 if not more likely 21 and 2) Giddey being accused could result in financial losses, which he could then sue for given the deception (The club is also on the hook of this scenario is true). Low class using AI showing him at the courthouse btw. Been following you for a while but that is seriously deceptive.

Silver explained it with intention in his words. He said theyve never suspended someone on the basis of an allegation alone. The other examples had allegations AND the results of an investogation. In this case, they seem to have gotten no additional information for any of the investigations that are ongoing. If/when they do have something from those, a punishment is sure to be forthcoming...at least I would hope so.

[@zabadooz.9751]

@williamgolston5399 I am a little surprised they didn't have him sit out pending an investigation, but maybe because it's a criminal investigation that could take months, they elected not to do that. I think the main point is that they don't have any proof that he did anything wrong. They have an allegation, but not even from the alleged victim. Investigations have proved fruitless thus far, at least based on what Silver said.

So they reported it to the police and He went to jail. He is now a DOT forever. He went to jail and was getting beat up on because people thought he was a child molester. He got out and they ended up back together. They are now married. And of course they don’t talk to her parents anymore. But it’s crazy that they do not take to consideration the guys age .

[@MrPhilbautista]

This isn't a race thing. Ja Morant is being propped as a "face of the league." He's being hyped up by the NBA and is thus being held to a higher standard. He was told to stop his shenanigans and he agreed and apologized for it and... he still went on and committed more of them. This is why the league was so harsh on him. As for the Miles Bridges and Josh Primo incidents, there were complaints filed against them and they were found guilty of committing said incidents after investigation. In the Giddey case, it's still being investigated but, as of now, there are no complaints filed. The alleged "victim" and her family aren't even cooperating, preferring to remain silent. This whole controversy arose because somebody posted something that is being deemed inappropriate and is now being blown up by Karens and Jarens of the net.

[@narumifujishima7504]

I think the reason why they are afraid to take action with Giddey is because the allegations are from an anonymous source, and most likely not from the victim. The other example, Primo, has the statement of the Spurs staff member against him. Ja, like Mike said, is more like a PR move, to disavow gun ownership perhaps? I'm not familiar with the Dwight Howard issue, but I think that originated from Dwight's partner/victim/whatever. If they were able to get a statement from the girl with Giddey, I'm sure they would jump on this issue too. It's too controversial from a moral and political standpoint.

[@kylebatzer353]

Ja got punished for conduct that went against the NBA's long held anti gun stance. Every player knows about it 100%. He also broke that same rule after being warned about it. He got what was coming to him and he knew it. Josh will likely see some kind of punishment for conduct detrimental, but not much of a punishment when all is said and done, since the league has no rules about a consensual relationship with someone of age (assuming she is of age wherever the actions took place and no other laws are involved).

To everyone claiming that Giddy is receiving special treatment due to his skin color, you need to remember, there isn’t a victim or plaintiff in this case.

If what he did is true he deserves to be punished, no question. The point I was making is that the reason he isn’t being punished by the NBA immediately, before any investigation, is that they haven’t had to deal with any fallout or negative press yet, that will all change though if he’s convicted, and no doubt it’ll be huge news.

[@mrhoneycutter]

@@rodscott7360 absolutely true, no question, but in terms of the news and police, there isn’t nearly as much to report if no one is speaking out or raising attention to the subject.

The reason why the NBA isn't or the Thunder aren't suspending Giddey is because the whole situation or incident happened 2 years ago when he was still 19 then the girl lied about her being over aged to get in a club where she met then got close with Giddey where they spend the night together but after Giddey found out the girl lied about her age, they never meet again. Giddey also expected this would get leaked since he was in public when it happened also he already told this to OKC when it happened in 2021 then they made their own investigation but couldn't find anything that anything and have condemned no concern while the police investigation current is having a hard to find something since the girl's family is not cooperating with them well that tells you that Giddey is pretty much innocent but it is a horrible accident/mistake to happen for both involved since it got spread thru social media quickly.

[@mitchtherevolution]

They could suspend him with pay pending an investigation. That is a very standard practice, and almost always the go to when hostile work environments are involved, something less serious than sexual misconduct. In that case the Spurs would be the only injured party. Whatever the reason is, it is almost certainly dependent on something in the NBA contracts.

I definitely agree that a double standard still continues to this day when it comes to these things at some level. Especially when it comes to black men in criminal/civil cases in the public eye. While I personally don’t feel that the Ja Morant thing and Giddy’s situation are equivalent situations, since Ja unequivocally broke league rules repeatedly after being warned vs Giddy’s being an allegation without much proof. However, I feel like a better example of that double standard is the response and treatment of Coach Udoka. As I genuinely can’t imagine that any white coach or staffer would’ve been suspended or criticized to the degree he was, much less fired.

@@mikaelgauslaa5547 I think as long as she's of the age of consent and a willing party, where here parents refuse to press charges of any kind, refuse to cooperate with investigators, there's really nothing that can be done. This isn't like Karl Malone getting a 14 year old pregnant. It's been something like 20 years since that happened, and I don't believe he faced suspension either for the same reasons, no one was willing to press charges. Sadly that's why he would have a case, precedent. It's happened before so the NBA would be singling Giddy out by punishing him.

So this entire situation is based upon what an "anonymous" social media user said? No one knows who the girl is, or how old she is. This whole things smells of bullshit.

[@benwu2229]

It's also important to remember what the respective teams have done after the allegations. The Spurs immediately released Primo which in my mind means the team knew he was guilty for at least a little bit of the accusations. Meanwhile, the Thunder and specifically their head coach have only come out and said that Giddey was playing, which tells me the team knows more than the general public does. I doubt that the Thunder and the league itself would jeopardize this PR case if they didn't have at least a little bit more information than we do

[@coala1980]

A big difference is Ja posted multiple videos with firearms, and he had many many issues off the court with his "crew", which included threatening players and staff at other areans.

I think the Ja Morant suspension was fair because of the gun shooting issues we have in the US and he was one of the new faces of the NBA. I think Kyrie was a little too much for just a repost. I could be wrong since I didn’t watch the video link. Josh Giddy is also one of the up and coming young players with a red hot OKC team. He is noticeably being affected by the scandal. If I were the OKC I would let him stay at home until the whole issue blows over or the criminal investigation is over.

Ja Morant is a person of great influence and do people honestly think that waving a gun around carelessly is a good look or promotes weapon safety?

It is not fair to punish Josh Giddy for this because he was not out there hunting for underage girls. The first question that should be asked is that if she was really an underage girl, why did her parents not monitor her whereabouts and whom she is with? An underage girl not home by 10pm should raise an alarm for the parents right? If Josh Giddy had the idea that the girl is underage and still ask her out without the knowledge of her parents then it would be Josh’s fault and it should be a criminal act. But if Josh met the girl somewhere pretending to be an adult without the knowledge of her parents, then the parents should be liable for negligence.

[@goonie6610]

All these situations are different with their own intricacies so I don’t think it’s fair to compare them. I prefer how the nba is handling it, waiting for the facts before making a decision.
