alternative explanation: sports journalists are all really stupid

yea I posted the reason a few days ago. it isn’t racism that a bunch of white guys all voted for the white player, but it is an extension of some kind of weird cultural imperialism that we are inflicting on ourselves.

I’d love for someone to track all of the public comments from players versus writers. it seems as if they are all on Embiid (or Giannis) and the only ones who have said Jokic is an MVP are Nuggets players and a few gracious Warriors. it’s an interesting dichotomy.

it’s certainly racism, the dorky white sports writers don’t have to be proud boys to be racist

I don’t think it’s explicitly racist. they just have Soylent instead of brains.

(but the weird techno-fascist obsession of these dorks is systemically racist without a doubt)

If Doc can stay out of the way and not gently caress up a title run, he can stay.

TBH im kind of amazed he got the message on Reed. I can't really recall a Coach ever being successfully bullied by the fans like that.

they can’t compel Greece to go along with foolish EU adventurism so in stead they take Giannis’ rightful award and give it to some cracker whose parents probably hated Tito. for shame

maybe they should just limit the votes to coaches and players. it wont 'fix' things but, for example, kawhi leonard's finals mvp during the 2019 playoffs wasn't unanimous because hubie brown, ancient and wise, voted for fred vanvleet because he recognized the impact fred had on that series that was missed by a lot of commentators.

Pablo Torre thinks KAT is a superstar so he’s as bad as the rest of them. Dominique Foxworth can take his spot

It baffles me that the league divides Player of the Week and Player of the Month honors into East and West Conference, but not the MVP.

If there is to be a unified league wide MVP, voting should definitely occur after the Finals, after the best teams actually meet in decisive head-to-heads.

I am confident that Ben Simmons will start next season on the nets, that he will end the season on the nets, that he will play for the majority of games, and that he will be good. I believe these things with all my heart
