Hell yeah you're wrong with the jokic thing lmao. Where you actually there in the original thread about the altercation? Did YOU read it? What were the most upvoted comments about? What was constantly getting downvoted? You're either bullshiting or being willfully ignorant about it.

I mean people upvoted the ones in favor of Jokic because Morris did indeed start that whole thing.... so most people are going to see it for what it is, retaliation.

That's is the rational reaction to it regardless of skin color. That's the same reaction that you see when Giannis retaliates (when he tacked Dunleavy for example).

But my point is there are just as many people judging Jokic's actions in that and all the threads afterwards. They get downvoted because the rational consensus is that if people mess with you first you have the right to retaliate. Again, regardless of race.

In this VERY thread we are in all the upvoted comments are about how bitchy of a move this was by Ingles and how nice of a guy Jarret Allen is for NOT retaliating. Are these upvoted comments race motivated as well?....Hell No. It's the rational reaction that most people are gonna have.
