The NBA has a disgusting level of apathy toward sexual and domestic violence.

Miles Bridges beats the shit out of his girlfriend, 10 game suspension (I know it was listed as 30, but they used technicalities to reduce it to 10)

Joshua Primo flashes women on multiple occasions, 4 game suspension.

Anthony Lamb sexually assaulted a girl in college, never saw any punishment.

Lance Stephenson pushed his girlfriend down the stairs, no suspension.

Karl Malone raped a child and he still gets actively promoted by the NBA.

This is just off the top of my head, there are so, SO many more of these cases. This is absolutely abhorrent on behalf of the NBA.

Edit: I didn’t want to mention Kobe initially, because I didn’t want this to just be a Kobe debate thread since the issue is much broader than that, but honestly I think it’s too important not to. The team I’m a fan of, with full support from other organizations and the NBA, is building a statue of a rapist. The NBA themselves consistently promote him, and have never once acknowledged what he did. He never served a suspension, never had any repercussions from the league, he simply got away with rape full stop.
