I have said thay it's true that every city has racists(Hi Oklahoma, Boston) and not all of the people under Mitch's insta is from Utah. It's just not wise to bring it up because in the end it's deflective.
I honestly believe the concepts that underpin Motivational Interviewing would be fairly beneficial to begin to understand at the societal level. Not just for this but for a multitude of social ills. However, the more serious something becomes or the more personal something becomes, the more the natural inclination is to move away from any of those principles (whether they’re understood or not) and to indulge in things that more immediately help relive our own anxieties about situations, but only serve to further exacerbate problems, intended or not.
See again....these murals have been defaced in Seattle, California, Florida, and many other places in the past few weeks. Sometimes I think some of you minimize what you think of Dons intelligence acting like he doesn’t know this is a nationwide issue. The community also cleaned it up and re-painted it. Maybe he’s just showing this community there’s a problem? He’s not dumb. He knows this isn’t a SLC issue.
It’s not like I’m bringing this up on the comment section. I’m bringing it up on JazzFanz, relax.
The issue isn't fans getting loud at games. Players know fans are loud and support them when they are playing. The problem is people aren't cheering this loud and supporting them when it comes to them bringing up real life issues. In fact there's a decent amount of fans who are doing the opposite and opposing players whenever they bring up issues. The "shut up and dribble" **** just doesn't work. Players are human 1st, basketball players 2nd.
If Donovan leaves/asks for a trade in this way.....don’t expect many guys to want to play here. I don’t actually think this is what he’s doing, this issue is legitimately important to him and players all around the league are doing the same, and getting the same comments. Maybe this is sarcasm, hard to tell.
Agreed, but people do see them as human, they just don’t see them as people they know. Players don’t care about individual fans either. They don’t care about me or you personally. Your a blob of a crowd. This isn’t a one way street. You don’t go to a restaurant to be bombarded by someone you don’t know about things other than food service. I support players speaking up, but to act like fans don’t see them as people is kind of a ridiculous notion IMO. We all do, but we, not they, see each other as individuals we know. They don’t truly care about any individual fan either, it doesn’t mean we don’t see each other as people. But no they don’t care about a fan as much as people they know or their family and neither do we. It’s just how people are. The person behind the desk at a gas station is just someone I’m buying something from if I don’t know them. Acting like there should be some special connection between us is just not going to be the case. With athletes it’s actually probably closer to a special connection than most interactions we have with people we don’t know tbh.
I think James Dolan is a hang up. This stuff is important to him, and Dolan of all the owners has been least willing to speak up as well as donated to Donald Trumps campaign. Donovan’s biggest concerns week ago, which is what this thread is about, was avoiding injury to make sure he gets to sign that contract extension.
I agree with most of what you’re saying, but the financial issues are too great. It’s happening
Nah... I’d rather keep Mitchell
